Joe Rogan calls recent controversies a ‘political hit job’

Days after apologizing for his past use of racial slurs, Joe Rogan is now suggesting that his recent string of controversies is merely a “political hit job.”

Rogan shared his thoughts on Tuesday’s episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, which featured comic Akaash Singh.

“In a lot of ways, this is a relief,” Rogan said during the show. “That video [compilation of Rogan repeatedly using the N-word] had always been out there. This is a political hit job. They’re taking all this stuff I’ve ever said that’s wrong and smushing it all together. It’s good because it makes me address some stuff that I really wish wasn’t out there.
