When Joe Rogan was on the ropes (not really) about amplifying Covid misinformation and promoting vaccine skepticism, he had many celebrity allies. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Jewel, Kevin James, Jamie Kennedy, Tulsi Gabbard, Troy Aikman, Kat Von D, Domanic Monaghan, Candice Owens, Jillian Michaels, Tomi Lahren and Andrew Dice Clay all sent support and love to Rogan on his Instagram. The Rock went even further than “commenting on Instagram.” The Rock went out of his way to mock political commentator Cheri Jacobus on Twitter when she peppered his tweets with information about Rogan’s racism and other problematic behavior.

“No longer triggered by headlines you read” is typical toxic male bullsh-t. He was telling the little lady that she was too emotional and stupid to understand the deep bromance affection he had for Joe Rogan, a dude who said the n-word constantly and spread Covid misinformation. Then when a dude challenged The Rock, suddenly he was like “wait, maybe I should listen to this dude?”

Mahalo, brother and have a great & productive weekend.

For what it’s worth, The Rock did go back and apologize to Cheri Jacobus.

So there you go. It’s as I said – there are tons of people willing to overlook Rogan’s deadly conspiracies and his amplification of the worst kind of conspiracists. But when you add in racism, suddenly people are like “whoa, whoa, wait a minute.” Anyway, The Rock made a complete ass out of himself.
