Joe Rogan, a prominent figure in the podcast industry, strongly criticized billionaire Oprah Winfrey and former First Lady Michelle Obama for discussing income inequality at the Democratic National Convention.
Rogan delivered the comments on his podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience” when addressing the ensuing chaos that occurred at the DNC.
“How about Oprah?” Rogan said. “Oprah was talking about her and Trump running together, and now she’s speaking to the DNC that he’s a threat to democracy and she’s up there talking about income inequality, like, ‘Hey lady — you’re rich as f***!’ I’m like, ‘How is that equal?’”
Rogan went on to say that it was “nuts” how several celebrities used to be close friends with former President Donald Trump, but they now hate him because he’s a Republican and not a Democrat.
“Also when Michelle Obama was saying, you know, I think she was saying her mother or grandmother was always suspicious of people who took more than they needed, like, you are worth so much money,” he continued. “That’s so crazy. You did it on a civil servant’s salary, which is insane.”

This comes after a new survey found that Harris failed to secure a polling bump from the Democratic National Convention.
The poll, released on Sunday, was conducted by ABC News/Ipsos and found Harris leading Trump 50 percent to 46 percent among registered voters nationwide. The Harris edge widened among likely voters 52 percent to 46 percent.
However, the pollsters discovered that while Harris holds a national lead, she did not see any boost from her party’s four-day convention in Chicago. Additionally, the poll indicated that former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s endorsement of Trump had little impact, though internal polling by the Trump campaign says that RFK Jr.’s support has moved the needle for the former president, especially in key states.
The poll noted further:
New ABC News/Ipsos polling conducted after the Democratic National Convention finds Vice President Kamala Harris has a slight lead over former President Donald Trump among Americans who plan to vote in November’s election, statistically unchanged from earlier in August. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s departure from the race and endorsement of Trump makes no difference to most Americans. On the topic of campaigns, a majority feel Harris is running her campaign well, while fewer feel the same about Trump. However, Americans continue to trust Trump more than Harris on the economy, inflation, and immigration.
Nationally, according to the RealClearPolitics average of polling, Harris leads Trump by 1.8 points. She is up by a much smaller margin—0.3 percent—in the average of battleground state polling, according to RCP.
That said, Trump currently garners 291 electoral votes to Harris’ 208, with 111 so far undecided, according to the analytical site. The Senate currently favors Republicans over Democrats 50-46, with four seats listed as toss-ups, RCP noted.
