    Did he say something like “bro, it was like he cast some spell on me and I could not think right and I made a horrible choice in supporting him. I am ashamed of myself now and I wish I can get back to where I was.”?

    Otherwise he can fuck off.

    Even if this is true and not just performative bullshit, why should anyone care what he has to say. Plenty of people think it’s horrific, let’s listen to those who didn’t push for it to happen.

    I wrote that then decided to actually read the article first instead of commenting on the headline just in case it said something like “Joe said this, but he’s a piece of shit so he should fuck off anyway” but nope. I stand by my original comment.

    No he’s not. He’s actively helping the admin.

    By pushing it as a simple, innocent mistake. That’s the party line. They’re assholes who thought they were the smartest in the room and wouldn’t get caught.

    Now that they got caught, they really can’t deny it, so “it wasn’t that bad”, is the party line.

    They fucked up, “but it was just a mistake, honest”

    Fucking Rogan is a propagandist for trump.

        Exactly.

        It was a monumental fuck up and everyone knows it.

        Sometimes you need to take a few lumps, so you take them from some one you trust. Some one who isn’t trying to drive their fists through the back of your skull with all the strength they can.

        No…. You get some one who can slip in some excuses, set up the “it wasn’t so bad” while also framing the “criticism” that’s weak and half assed as “fair minded” or “honest”

        This is why people take interviews with people they know will grill them, but also in a way that lets them retcon the narrative- after a large enough fuck up, you’re no longer talking about hiding it or getting away from it. It’s all mitigation and minimization.

    Can we avoid the click-bait titles here? I don’t click on most huffpost articles for this reason, won’t do it here either… I just don’t care enough to want to “discover” which aspect is hidden behind it.
