The thing with the Left is the in-your-face hypocrisy.
So in the latest episode in the effort to silence podcaster Joe Rogan is this from no less than Comedy Central’s late-night host Trevor Noah. Fox has headlined the story as follows:
Trevor Noah jumps on bandwagon against Joe Rogan, after Rogan defended Noah’s unearthed offensive comments
Rogan stood up for Noah in 2015 after criticism of incoming Daily Show host’s old jokes
The essence? As the world knows, the effort to silence Rogan began with rocker Neil Young demanding his music be removed from Spotify This is because Rogan had the audacity to have guests on his show with different views on the vaccine.
Now the move to target Rogan is on again because, says Fox, of Rogan’s “repeated use of the N-word on past podcast episodes.” (Something that should never be done.) Fox reports:
“….Rogan took to Instagram Friday evening, where he issued an apology over his past remarks, expressing his “deepest, sincerest” apologies and insisting he didn’t intend to sound racist.”
This wasn’t good enough for Noah, who said this:
“When Joe Rogan says, ‘I wasn’t being racist. I was just being entertaining.’ – No, Joe, I think you were using racism to be entertaining,”I’m not saying you were trying to offend Black people, by the way, but you knew that offending Black people would get a laugh. I am a comedian and I love making jokes, and I love hearing jokes, I love all kinds of jokes, I love safe jokes, I like dark jokes, I like jokes. But, just because something is a joke, doesn’t mean it can’t be something else as well… a joke can be racist.”
And then. A climb in the time capsule and a quick trip back to 2015 when Noah was taking over Jon Stewart’s The Daily Show. And what surfaced? This “joke” from Noah, with Fox reporting:
“Noah was widely criticized for a series of tweets that resurfaced when he was selected to succeed Jon Stewart as the host of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show.” They included Jewish jokes, such as, “Almost bumped a Jewish kid crossing the road. He didn’t look b4 crossing but I still would hav felt so bad in my German car.”
Noah also made jokes about domestic violence, White women and suggesting women should “fear” his penis because “the more you fear something, the bigger it appears.” At the time, many liberal critics pondered whether Noah was the right man to replace Stewart, but Rogan came to his defense.”
Got that? No less than Joe Rogan defended Trevor Noah in a tweet, saying:
“Too much for 140 characters, but NOTHING he said was out of line, and he’s a funny dude. F***k the haters, Noah!”
So let’s look again about what Noah is saying to Joe Rogan, with one editorial change, removing “black” and substituting “Jewish” and applying Noah’s standards to – himself:
“I’m not saying you were trying to offend Jewish people, by the way, but you knew that offending Jewish people would get a laugh. I am a comedian and I love making jokes, and I love hearing jokes, I love all kinds of jokes, I love safe jokes, I like dark jokes, I like jokes. But, just because something is a joke, doesn’t mean it can’t be something else as well… a joke can be anti-Semitic.”
Do that, and presto, Trevor Noah becomes the new Joe Rogan.
So will the demand go forth from the cancel culture for Comedy Central to fire Trevor Noah for anti-Semitism?
Don’t bet the ranch. He’s a lefty, and anti-Semitism is no problem with the left.
See: The Squad.
Ya can’t make it up.
