Joe Rogan Labels Hillary Clinton 'More MAGA Than MAGA' — Trump Likely Not Amused
Podcaster Joe Rogan stirred the political pot during a recent episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” asserting that Hillary Clinton’s stringent immigration policies position her as “more MAGA than MAGA.” This bold statement could leave President Donald Trump feeling uneasy about his ally's remarks.
Rogan urged listeners to break free from their “ideological bubble,” advocating for a broader understanding of political affiliations beyond the traditional left-right divide. He emphasized how the Democratic Party has evolved, suggesting that figures like former President Bill Clinton would be viewed as conservative by today’s standards.
He didn’t hold back on Clinton’s immigration stance, labeling it “hardcore.” Reflecting on her 2008 primary platform, Rogan recounted her tough approach: “If you’ve been convicted of a crime, get out. If you stay here, pay a stiff penalty, and you have to get in line, and you have to learn English, and everybody cheers.”
“That is a hardcore right-wing 2026 perspective,” he added, challenging conventional political categorizations.
Former U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer Bill Thompson, a guest on the show, echoed Rogan’s sentiments, pointing out that the Clintons are not alone in their tough immigration rhetoric. He noted that President Barack Obama also adopted similar policies during his administration in 2012.
Supporting their claims, data from Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse reveals that Immigration and Customs Enforcement deported approximately 3.1 million individuals during Obama’s presidency. In contrast, Trump managed around 932,000 deportations in his first term, according to the same nonpartisan research organization that relies on official government statistics.
This juxtaposition of immigration policies raises questions about the evolving nature of political identities and the implications for future elections.
