Former actor, comedian, and Fear Factor host turned podcaster Joe Rogan has spent years profiting off the conspiracy theorists, Christian nationalists, and White supremacists that make up the MAGA movement.
But lately, Rogan has gone from enabling Republican President Donald Trump and his cronies to criticizing them.
Then on Thursday, March 26, Rogan went after the MAGA minions.
Rogan told guest Dave Smith:
"That phrase [Make America Great Again] sucks. America is great. Make America greater? I’m down."
"But MAGA? And then it becomes a movement of a bunch of dorks? A lot of them are these really weird, f*cking uninteresting, unintelligent people."

On Saturday, MAGA Republican Vice President JD Vance attempted to brush off Rogan's comments in an interview with right-wing plagiarist turned podcaster Benny Johnson, who asked for his thoughts.
Vance responded:
"I think we have many, many fewer dorks than the far left, but everybody’s got some dorks. We love our dorks. We love our cool kids. We love anybody who wants to save the country."
You can see his response here:
People agreed MAGA has dorks, especially Vance.

Vance and Johnson seemed to ignore that Rogan also called members of the MAGA movement, which includes both of them, "uninteresting" and "unintelligent."
Trump himself has said that smart people don't like him, implying those devoted to him are idiots. And over the weekend, Trump seemed to back Rogan's assessment of his MAGA minions again.
Trump said:
"It’s a good thing to have a lot of losers. I always like to hang around with losers, actually, ’cause it makes me feel better."
"I hate guys that are very, very successful and you have to listen to their success stories. I like people that like to listen to my success."

It seems clear even the MAGA minions' Dear Leader agrees with Joe Rogan.
