Ilhan Omr (D-MN), which was widely deemed anti-Semitic and adding his voice to the suggestion that money is as important to Jews to pizza as it is to Italians, he came under fire on social media.<\/p>\n<p>Rogan\u2019s remarks came during a chat with Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti, co-hosts of the YouTube show and podcast \u201cBreaking Points.\u201d Ball, a Left-wing former MSNBC personality, and Rogan were discussing House Speaker Kevin McCarthy\u2019s decision to boot Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee over past inflammatory statements by the Minnesota Democrat. One such comment McCarthy cited was Omar\u2019s claim that U.S. lawmakers\u2019 support for Israel was \u201call about the Benjamins,\u201d Widely considered to be invoking an antisemitic trope regarding Jews and money.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s not an anti-Semitic statement,\u201d Rogan insists that he is the host \u201cThe Joe Rogan Experience.\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t think that is. Benjamins are money. You know, the idea that Jewish people are not into money is ridiculous. That\u2019s like saying Italians aren\u2019t into pizza. It\u2019s f***ing stupid. It\u2019s f***ing stupid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy, who also kicked California Democrats Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell off the House Intelligence Committee over their past behavior, cited several of Omar\u2019s past comments in ousting her from the panel. The panel also included Omar&#8217;s past comments. \u201call about the Benjamins\u201d Comment: Omar compared Israel to terrorist groups Hamas, and the Taliban. He dismissed 9\/11 with the following statement \u201cSome people did something.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re not removing her from other committees,\u201d McCarthy spoke. \u201cWe just do not believe when it comes to foreign affairs, especially the responsibility of that position around the world with the comments that you make.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although Omar later apologized for her comment about the Israel lobby, saying she didn\u2019t understand that the trope about Jews and money was bigoted,\u00a0Rogan and Ball agreed that she shouldn\u2019t have issued a mea culpa.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cListen, I understand the way she phrased it, like she could have phrased it a different way so that people would have less of a freak-out, but can you not talk about the influence of money in D.C.?\u201d Ball then suggested that politicians who support Israel are doing so for financial reasons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook, I have issues and disagreements with Ilhan Omar, but she actually is one of the more courageous voices on foreign policy who\u2019s willing to call out the hypocrisy and bulls*** in U.S. foreign policy,\u201d Ball stated. \u201c[That\u2019s] extremely rare in terms of United States congressmen, so it\u2019s actually kind of a real loss that she got kicked off that committee.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rogan agreed with Ball\u2019s assessment of the Somali-born lawmaker.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhether you agree with her or not, she has a bold opinion and that opinion is not her own; there\u2019s many people who have that opinion, and they should be represented,\u201d He stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Podcast king Joe Rogan came under social media fire after defending a comment by Rep.
