Joe Rogan Walks Back Fake Story About School Using a Litter Box for ‘Furry’ Student

Joe Rogan talks a whole lot of shit, and his newest narrative concerned faculties offering litter packing containers to college students that determine as furries. Except that’s not true—clearly—and Rogan clarified his fib on a current episode of his podcast.

In an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, titular host Joe Rogan adopted up on his earlier feedback claiming {that a} faculty agreed to place a litter field within the toilet so a scholar who recognized as a furry might urinate and defecate in peace. Last month, Rogan shared the ‘story’ in an episode with Tulsi Gabbard, saying that a good friend of his—whose spouse is a instructor—knowledgeable Rogan that the varsity made the choice to put in the litter field within the toilet.

However, about two weeks later, Rogan walked again on his story, specifying that no choice by the varsity had been made earlier than blaming a “whacky mother” who brought about the varsity to have “discussions,” earlier than he pivoted to an anecdote about passing by a furry conference whereas touring. Rogan supplied clarification on his feedback in Episode 1888 with visitor Michael Shermer—who prompted the dialog after discussing how misinformation is politicized by these on the proper finish of the political spectrum. Rogan says shortly after the 54-minute mark:

I fed into that and I ought to in all probability make clear a bit bit. I’ve a good friend, and my good friend’s spouse is a schoolteacher, and he or she instructed him that there was [sic] discussions within the faculty {that a} mom needed to place a litter field in one of many loos. He instructed me this and I talked about it on right here, after which folks have been saying ‘That’s not true, that’s an web rumor.’ So I contacted him once more, and I mentioned ‘Tell me exactly what she said. Contact her and find out.’ She not works for that college, she works for one more faculty. She contacted the opposite faculty, she didn’t get a response.

But Mr. Rogan, that’s not the story you instructed to Gabbard within the episode printed on October 11. Rogan made the declare that the varsity had not solely agreed to place a litter field within the woman’s toilet, however that they’d already finished so. He says to Gabbard on the 26:40 mark:

My good friend, his spouse is a college instructor. She works at a college that needed to set up a litter field within the woman’s room as a result of there’s a woman who’s a furry who identifies as an animal, and her mom badgered the varsity till they agreed to place a litter field in one of many stalls. So this woman goes into the litter room, or to the woman’s room, and urinates or no matter. I don’t know if she poops in it, that’s gross…You’ve conned the varsity into placing this fucking litter field in a woman’s room, which is bananas.

The litter field conspiracy has been a repeated assault on LGBTQ college students on the Republican campaign trail since early October, when Colorado consultant Lauren Boebert claimed the identical. “They are putting litter boxes in schools for people who identify as cats,” Boebert mentioned, as quoted within the Colorado Times Recorder. “Durango is doing this. This is how extreme it is.” A consultant from Durango School District instructed the Recorder that Boebert’s feedback have been false.
