The Republican presidential nominee made the weirdest comment in his interview with Joe Rogan.
JD Vance claimed that he and Donald Trump could likely win the votes of ānormalā gay men because they ājust want to be left the hell alone.ā
Vance appeared onĀ The Joe Rogan Experience for a three-hour interview released Thursday, discussing everything fromĀ Emily in ParisĀ to him standing at his front door for an hour with a loaded gun after the first Trump assassination attempt.
But one of the wildest moments in the interview came when Vance told Rogan he believed he and Trump would win the ānormal gay guy voteā due to the āextremist religionā of āwokeness.ā
āFrankly, I wouldnāt be surprised if me and Trump won just the normal gay guy vote, because again, they just want to be left the hell alone,ā Vance said. āAnd now you have all this crazy stuff on top of it that theyāre like āNo, no ā¦ we didnāt want to give pharmaceutical products to 9-year-olds who are transitioning their genders.āā
Rogan then went on to discuss how itās actually the transgender movement thatās homophobic, pushing some of his most outlandish anti-trans views yet.
The number of normal gay guys who see my trans ass as family counters this one obviously
And to be clear here, Iāve met gay men who support trump and hate trans people. Theyāre weird. Theyāre the sort of gay people who donāt have any gay friends and I judge gay people for that harder than I judge straight people for it. Sometimes it just happens that a straight person doesnāt have any gay friends, gay people who donāt tend to be massively homophobic.
For no reason in particular you made me think about my circle of friends and realize Iām not sure if anyone I know is gay, because almost the entirety of my friend group is some flavor of bi/ace/demi/pan and/or trans/NB. I think thereās only 2-3 straight people in my whole group, and I donāt know how much I count since my two partners are Trans-questioning or NB lol.
