Joe Rogan defended Jimmy Kimmel after the comedian’s suspension, blasting the Trump administration for targeting a late-night host and calling it an attack on free speech. On his podcast, Rogan said Kimmel’s joke about Charlie Kirk was funny and not grounds for punishment, warning conservatives celebrating the suspension that censorship could backfire on them. He also mocked Trump for spending time attacking talk show hosts online instead of governing. Rogan, who endorsed Trump before the 2024 election, has since criticized his tariffs on Canada and harsh deportation policies, marking a split from their once-friendly alliance.
