The podcaster had tough words for the ICE agents targeting Minnesota.
Earlier this week, though, the podcaster recoiled when faced with the particulars of Trump’s signature campaign promise to undertake the largest deportation of illegal immigrants in American history. In particular, Rogan appeared shaken by the death of Renee Nicole Good, a Minneapolis woman who was shot dead by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent under contested circumstances.
“It just seemed all kinds of wrong to me,” Rogan told Kentucky Senator Rand Paul during the tail end of a nearly three-hour discussion in his Austin studio that aired on Tuesday. “She didn’t seem mentally healthy but does that mean she should be shot in the head? Is there no other way to handle this?”
Later, Rogan would invoke the Nazis when describing the masked and militarized ICE agents roaming Minneapolis streets. “Are we really going to be the Gestapo? ‘Where’s your papers?’ Is that what we’ve come to?” he asked.
Joe Rogan is a bitch. When a horse breaks its leg, you have to shoot it in the head. You can't rehabilitate something that resists treatment.
