Rogan defended the right to say that Jews “are into money”, and in response, many pointed out that Omar went much further, suggesting that Jews use money to control politicians and buy support for Israel.
The group of people who have expressed outrage include New York Congressman Ritchie Torres, Congressman Josh Gottheimer, Dov Hikind, ADL chief Jonathan Greenblatt, Joel Petlin, MSNBC host Mehdi Hassan, Editor of National Review Online Phillip Klein, Ted Deutch, the CEO of the American Jewish Committee, and others.
Joe Rogan said: “the idea that Jews are not into money is ridiculous. That’s like saying Italians aren’t into pizza.”
Newsflash: The notion that interest in money is uniquely Jewish is Antisemitic garbage that should never be fed to an audience of millions.

I can't believe that I am agreeing with Mehdi Hasan on anything, let alone on Antisemitism.
Shame on you, @joerogan https://t.co/GdVH8G96Xs

This man is a small problem, when compared to much bigger problems like:
the United Nations Organization, the European Union, the Squad (left-wing of the Democratic Party, led by AOC and Ilhan Omar), the New York Times (and the Leftist news media in general), J street, the Reform Judaism movement, etc.
All of us should pray with a minyan that G*D should help all of us to do teshuvah, and also that G*D should eliminate all those who want to harm us.
Why are we so shocked that the anti-semites out there today are more and more bold and outspoken? Moshiach is coming closer and closer and THEN – Hashem will show openly , Who is in charge !! B’imheirah b’yomeinu.
ALL jew haters who engage in disgusting ancient antisemitic tripes about Jews and money [eliza shapiro, kanye, nyt, (perennially unemployed shnorrer) nick moster, illan omar] must be strongly condemned.
He is a hater, Next!
Why push this skinhead onto us? He should be banned and boycotted NOW!
We should be balanced here. Joe Rogan, as far as I can tell from his podcasts, has no personal issue with Jews. His comments were wrong, ignorant, idiotic, and dangerous, considering the size of his following and how such stereotypes contribute to antisemitic violence. Someone close to him needs to explain that to him. But he’s not in the Kanye category, and it’s important to make that distinction.
Sorry, I don’t see the big deal here. Is anyone saying that Jews are not motivated by money?
And contrary to the tweet, I don’t recall him saying that liking money was exclusively a Jewish trait.
I will go further out on a limb and say that Jews also like good food. Does that make me an anti- Semite?
He’s such a hateful deluded person he probably doesn’t even realize anymore when sentiments are or are not hateful.
Hashem Yishmor!
Storm in a teacup. He will be forced to apologize (if he hasn’t already) and won’t mean it, and it will be soon forgotten. Just like he was forced to apologize for having an anti-vaxx conspiratorial moonbat on his show a few months ago, didn’t mean it, and it was soon forgotten.
Silence from aipac
