Joe Rogan SLAMS Oprah & Michelle Obama
Podcast giant Joe Rogan slammed billionaire Oprah Winfrey and former First Lady Michelle Obama this week for addressing income inequality at the Democratic National Convention, pointing out the hypocrisy of the situation.
Rogan made these comments during his “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast while discussing what he viewed as some of the absurdities that took place at the DNC.
“How about Oprah?” Rogan said. “Oprah was talking about her and Trump running together, and now she’s speaking to the DNC that he’s a threat to democracy and she’s up there talking about income inequality, like, ‘Hey lady — you’re rich as f***!’ I’m like, ‘How is that equal?’”

Rogan remarked that it was “nuts” how many celebrities who used to be close friends with Trump now despise him simply because he’s a Republican instead of a Democrat.
“Also when Michelle Obama was saying, you know, I think she was saying her mother or grandmother was always suspicious of people who took more than they needed, like, you are worth so much money,” he continued. “That’s so crazy. You did it on a civil servant’s salary, which is insane.”
Winfrey made an unexpected appearance at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday, where she criticized former President Trump and his vice presidential candidate. This came 24 years after she had previously suggested that Trump would make a good president.
“We know all the old tricks and tropes that are designed to distract us from what actually matters,” Winfrey told the crowd at the United Center. “But we are beyond ridiculous tweets and lies and foolery. These are complicated times, people, and they require adult conversation. And I welcome those conversations because civilized debate is vital to democracy, and it is the best of America. there’s a certain candidate that says if we just go to the polls this one time, that we’ll never have to do it again. Well, you know what? You’re looking at a registered independent who’s proud to vote again and again and again because I’m an American. And that’s what Americans do. Voting is the best of America.”
