Former President Donald Trump has voiced his support for Joe Rogan. Trump said Monday night the Spotify host should “stop apologizing” for controversies surrounding coronavirus misinformation and his past use of racial slurs.

“Joe Rogan is an interesting and popular guy, but he’s got to stop apologizing to the Fake News and Radical Left maniacs and lunatics,” Trump said in a statement.

Rogan spent part of the weekend apologizing for repeatedly using the N-word during past podcasts and also comparing a Black neighborhood to “Planet of the Apes.”

Rogan has also courted controversy with his views on COVID-19 vaccines.

Spotify continues to face scrutiny over its support for Rogan despite the podcaster’s past comments. Rumble Inc., a video-based site with a streaming deal with former President Trump, offered Rogan $100 million over four years to move his show to Rumble from Spotify.
