MSNBC analyst Mara Gay recently claimed that supporters of former President Donald Trump and listeners of Joe Rogan are in “crisis” and need “therapy.”
During a segment on Morning Joe, Gay joined a panel discussing a Washington Postreport about whether Trump’s “male-dominated culture” is losing women voters.
Gay, who is also on The New York Timeseditorial board, accused Trump of pushing a “faux masculinity” and suggested that Rogan’s listeners are being “recruited to fascism,” though she didn’t elaborate on specific fascist ideas.
Gay commented, “I think men are in crisis, actually, in this country. Not all men are just at home listening to Joe Rogan being angry or being recruited to fascism. Some just need therapy.”
She also expressed hope that women, who make up more than half the population, would “coalesce around the obvious choice” in opposition to Trump.
Meanwhile, Rogan recently indicated openness to hosting Trump on his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, with Elon Musk hinting that a Trump appearance “will happen” before the election.
Trump, though taking a light jab at Rogan in August, expressed no animosity toward him, stating in a later interview that he’d be open to doing Rogan’s podcast but hasn’t been asked yet.
