First Portnoy Does It, Now Group That Wants to Cancel Joe Rogan Gets Owned Again – Opinion

The left has been trying to take down Joe Rogan for weeks now — first with the claim that he was spreading COVID misinformation, then with a mash-up video claiming that he was a racist who used had used the “n-word” in some episodes. Rogan claimed that the clips had been taken out of context.

We have already mentioned that Dave Portnoy was on the podcast along with the MeidasTouch siblings who are accused of having been behind the Patriot Takes account which helped to spread Rogan’s video. Portnoy claimed that he was able to show receipts showing that one brother had written the n-word as a text in 2014, according to the podcast. Portnoy didn’t release the text but it’s clear he’s got what he thinks is the smoking gun.

Portnoy had confronted them about the Patriot Takes account, noting the connection to the brothers, “All I knew is the Rogan propaganda videos felt similar to the videos made to attack me.” Portnoy’s point? This isn’t an organic attack upon Rogan.

You can read the thread about Rogan below. The propaganda videos of Rogan felt very similar to those made against me. It was the same account, so I went back to it and checked out who had followed it. Top 3 names are identical https://t.co/FmtpoUE73K pic.twitter.com/ypJI3YC8QC

That set off one of the brothers, Brett Meiselas, who claimed they “have nothing to do with any of this” other than being “partners” with Patriot Takes, saying “the lengths people go to defend a guy saying the N-word.”

The funny thing about this is we have nothing to do with any of this other than being partners with PatriotTakes because we think they do great work, but that doesn’t stop the conspiracy theorists from going into overdrive. It is amazing how far people will go to defend someone who uses the N-word. https://t.co/4M0zKGKFa9

David Portnoy and David Portnoy both pointed out on the podcast that nobody was trying to defend the word. in his tweets. Meiselas misrepresented what was being spoken. It was a big surprise.

But then Ballistic Social’s Caleb Hull nailed them with their connection to Patriot Takes.

PatriotTakes and MeidasTouch both use the Macomb UPS Store in MI as their postal address for FEC filings. pic.twitter.com/US96VkIgcW

Whoops. It seems like they were just taken over by me.

Meisalas responded that they had helped Patriot Takes set up, as part of their “partnership.”

Watch the live broadcast where we explain how we assisted PT in setting up compliance personnel as part of our partnership. That was something we were very clear on.

Oh. It doesn’t matter what, is it? The same UPS store was used by their FEC filings to provide their Macomb mailing address. Just very close “partners.” Funny how these coincidences work. Plus, claiming one is a “partner” doesn’t exactly disassociate you from them. It’s funny to see the liberal scrambling.

But Spotify isn’t dropping Rogan and Rogan just got an offer of a deal from Rumble for $100 million so this isn’t exactly going where they hoped it would go.
