Former Dem congresswoman and presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard tweeted earlier this morning, “I get the feeling some people are using @joerogan‘s COVID interview as a pretext to silence his voice because he’s not woke” and “Zealots of wokeism try to censor voices who don’t agree with theirs, because they fear the absurdity and weakness of their positions will be exposed”:
I get the feeling some people are using @joerogan's COVID interview as a pretext to silence his voice because he's not woke. Zealots of wokeism try to censor voices who don't agree with theirs, because they fear the absurdity and weakness of their positions will be exposed.

This is exactly the case. They could not care less about his views on COVID. What they do care about is his platforming of "unwoke" people like Dr. Jordan Peterson and refusal to toe the line.

Remember when liberals used to stand for this?
People on the left criticize Tulsi saying she's a sellout to the right.
In reality, this is what the liberals used to stand for.
She hasn't moved further into insanity, they have. https://t.co/IMogj027jT

And we’d suggest that people watch his entire show:
Exactly right. And its obvious that almost everyone calling for @joerogan to be deplatformed has never even watched an hour of his show. It's a witch hunt based on media hysteria and third-hand slander.

Bloomberg’s Faye Flam, however, thinks having to watch the entire 3-hour episode is just too cumbersome:
I watched the whole Robert Malone interview for research purposes. I can understand why some didn't though. We're talking about 3+ hours and not all of it coherent. Will be writing on the science for Bloomberg.

Unbelievable. We wouldn’t want journalists to have to do their job now, would we?
Poor journalists, having to spend time doing actual research that's not always fun before writing their articles about things.
Most of these witch hunts are driven by lazy journalists under short deadlines using partisan virtue-signaling as a substitute for doing their research
