Vice President JD Vance shot back at Joe Rogan after he blasted the Make American Great Again movement as full of “uninteresting, unintelligent people” and “dorks” — and claimed Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were tougher on immigration than President Trump.
The mega-popular podcaster took aim at the president’s MAGA base during Thursday’s episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” arguing that the movement has become unfocused and chaotic as radical extremists are increasingly lumped with “real, genuine patriots.”
“That phrase sucks …. make America great again and then it becomes a movement of a bunch of f–ing dorks because a lot of them are dorks,” Rogan told comedian Dave Smith.
“A lot of them are these really weird f—ing uninteresting, unintelligent people that have got something they cling to and there’s a lot of people that are just real genuine patriots and they’re all lumped into this one group and you got to accept the dorks, too? F–k that!”
Rogan, who endorsed Trump for president, slammed his supporters while ripping on the war in Iran.
Vance, in an interview with right-wing podcaster Benny Johnson, brushed off the swipe with a laugh.
“I think we have many, fewer dorks than the far left, but everybody’s got some dorks,” the veep quipped.
“We love our dorks. We love our cool kids. We love anybody who wants to save the country.”
Johnson also pressed Vance on comments Rogan made Wednesday in a separate episode, where he insisted Obama and Clinton had a hardline approach to immigration that was stronger than Trump’s.
Pointing to the Democrats 2007 remarks, the podcaster said the former secretary of state once pushed a “hardcore right-wing 2026 perspective” on illegal immigration.
Vance stressed that Rogan was wrong and planned to “text” him about it.
“I did not see Joe say this. I’m going to text Joe because that is definitely wrong,” the vice president said.
“The numbers from the Obama administration or any other administration – they weren’t doing a tenth of what we’re doing. So Joe is wrong on this. We’ve been the best administration in American history at deporting illegal aliens. The problem is we also followed the worst administration at letting them in.”
