Joe Rogan Told Trump to Hire Racist Comedian to ‘Write Bangers’

In August, Rogan suggested that Trump “tour with him” and have him “write bangers.”

Joe Rogan suggested on his podcast two months ago that Donald Trump should take comedian Tony Hinchcliffe “on the road” and hire him to “write bangers.”

Rogan’s comment on the Aug. 14 episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, as noted by journalist Jacqueline Sweet, comes amid bipartisan backlash over Hinchliffe‘s at-times racist monologue in support of Trump at Sunday’s rally in New York’s Madison Square Garden.

“It would behoove him to hire a few great comics to just tour with him, and just write one-liners about all these different f---ing people,” Rogan said of Trump this summer. “If he could remember them. I know he likes to go off his own head, but if he could remember a few Hinchcliffe bangers. If he hires Hinchcliffe to take him on the road, you know how f---ing insane that would be? Hinchcliffe writing bangers for Trump to s--t on people.”

It‘s unclear if anything that Trump himself said Sunday was written by Hinchcliffe, but the comedian’s comments were too outrageous even for the Trump campaign and many mainstream Republicans.

Hinchcliffe‘s joke about Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage” “does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign,” Trump campaign senior adviser Danielle Alvarez said, despite the fact that Trump last Thursday called the U.S. “a garbage can for the world.”

Florida Sen. Rick Scott also called Hinchcliffe’s comment “not funny” and “not true.”

Meanwhile, the Harris campaign is already including the moment in ads, contrasting it with how she—on the same day—announced a plan to create “a new Puerto Rico Opportunity Economy Task Force.”
