Joe, just go about what you do so well and don\u2019t let them make you look weak and frightened. That\u2019s not you and it never will be!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis also weighed in on the matter, saying that Rogan should not have apologized.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe mob will come after people, and they\u2019re targeting Rogan because he\u2019s threatening to upset the apple cart on some of the things that they\u2019re holding dear,\u201d DeSantis said. \u201cAnd with COVID, he\u2019s just bringing opposing views. He\u2019s letting people decide. They say he\u2019s against [the COVID vaccine]. I do not listen to his show, but then I read he specifically advocated for people with co-morbidities and elderly to get vaccinated.\u201d DeSantis said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think a lot of the legacy outlets and I think the left fear the fact that he can reach so many people, and so they\u2019re out to destroy him,\u201d DeSantis continued. But what I would say is don\u2019t give an inch. Do not apologize. Do not kow to the mob. Stand up and tell them to pound sand; if you do that, there\u2019s really nothing that they\u2019re able to do to you. The only way they have power is if you let them get your goat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Spotify CEO Daniel Ek released a statement on Sunday announcing that the company would stand by Rogan following an \u201cn-word\u201d controversy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile I strongly condemn what Joe has said and I agree with his decision to remove past episodes from our platform, I realize some will want more. And I want to make one point very clear \u2013 I do not believe that silencing Joe is the answer,\u201d Ek said. \u201cWe should have clear lines around content and take action when they are crossed, but canceling voices is a slippery slope. Looking at the issue more broadly, it\u2019s critical thinking and open debate that powers real and necessary progress.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ek <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pkafka\/status\/1490511000499544068\">said<\/a> in the note to staff that it was Rogan\u2019s decision to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/more-than-100-episodes-of-joe-rogans-show-vanish-from-spotify\">remove<\/a> dozens of episodes of \u201cThe Joe Rogan Experience\u201d from Spotify.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
