According to TheDailyWire:
Former Democratic presidential candidate and former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard spoke out in support of podcaster Joe Rogan on Monday, blasting “zealots of wokeism” who attempt to silence voices they don’t like.
Gabbard shared the words in a Twitter post on Tuesday morning that included a tag to Joe Rogan’s account.
“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,” Gabbard wrote.
Within hours, the popular post had nearly 35,000 likes and had been retweeted more than 6,000 times.
The support makes her the second former Democratic presidential candidate this week to stand with Rogan. Marianne Williamson offered a post in favor of the popular comedian and podcaster on Monday regarding attacks on his freedom of speech.
“I’m triple vaxxed, but (unless they’re standing for hate or calling for violence) banning someone’s podcast is too much like burning a book to me. Joe Rogan should talk on his podcast about whatever he damn well pleases,” Williamson wrote.
