Joe Rogan is now apologizing for his latest controversy . . . a montage of him dropping the N-word in the past. It's been making the rounds over the past week, in the wake of his previous controversy over Covid misinformation.
Joe apologized in a video on social media, where he admits that the N-word montage looks "[effing] horrible." He says it's the "most regretful and shameful" thing that he's had to address publicly . . . and he seems sincere.
He gives a few excuses . . . including that it was "taken out of context" . . . but he also says that now, in 2022, he agrees that there's NO context where it's cool for a white guy to be dropping the N-word. He says he's not racist . . . and there's nothing he can do to erase the past . . . so he wants it to be a teachable moment.
(Profanity Warning: Here's the UNCENSORED video.)
