"It's super obvious that you're super into trans people" - Cenk Uygur goes on bizarre rant following Joe Rogan's 'groomer' comment

Political commentator Cenk Uygur has fired off a sharp take on Joe Rogan's alleged transphobic rhetoric.

Uygur, the creator of the left-wing sociopolitical program The Young Turks, said Rogan's stance on gender identity is due to his own obsession with trans people. During a recent episode of his show, Uygur said:

"By the way, if you're the trans person or several people that slept with Joe Rogan, can you let us know? Because it's obvious that it's personal with him. Okay Joe, you slept with a person like that. There's nothing wrong with it! Get over it! Get over it! Get over it, Joe! It's super obvious that you're super into trans people and you're taking out your hatred over yourself on them, and you're making their life dangerous."

This comes after Rogan pushed back on the sentiment to ban the term "groomer" online. During episode #1817 of the Joe Rogan Experience, the veteran UFC commentator asked, "Do you not like it because you don’t want children to be groomed, or do you not like it cause it’s a pejorative that’s used against the left?"

Rogan believes that educators who are members of the LGBTQ+ community are "indoctrinating" young people "for their own sexual pleasure." On top of that, critics on social media say that teaching young people about sexual identity is equivalent to "grooming" them.

Uygur believes Rogan's take is "protecting actual pedophiles" and endangering the lives of trans people.
