The pair began discussing Republican Ted Cruz, who’s been an outspoken critic of gay marriage, and criticizing the GOP for their homophobia.
“It’s not just abortion rights, but now they’re going after gay marriage too, which is so strange to me,” Joe said, referencing Roe v. Wade. “Gay marriage is not silly. It’s marriage — it’s marriage from people that are homosexual and it’s, for them, it’s important. They want it. They want to affirm their love and their relationship.”
He continued, “And the fact that they’re going after that now almost makes me feel like they want us to fight. They wanna divide us in the best way they can. And this is the best way for them to keep pulling off all the bulls–t they’re doing behind the scenes is to get us to fight over things like gay marriage or get us to fight over things like abortion. It’s just like, why are you removing freedoms?”
He went on to say that the homophobia within the party is what prevents him from aligning with them.
“It’s so homophobic because you’re saying there’s something wrong with being homosexual by saying that you are opposed to gay marriage. You’re saying you’re opposed to gay people,” he explained. “The fact that they’re going after that now, like that’s the kind of s–t that keeps me from being a Republican. It’s only one of the kind of — there’s a bunch of shit that keeps you from being a Republican.”
Joe added that he did share similar views on firearms and supporting the police with Republicans.
“People will say like, ‘Oh, you know, you’re a secret conservative.’ Like you can suck my d–k. You don’t know what the f–k you’re talking about. I’m so far away from being a Republican,” he said. “Just because I believe in the Second Amendment and just because I support the military and just cause I support police.”
“Like I was on welfare as a kid. I think it’s important. I think having a social safety net is crucial. We should help each other,” Joe continued. “We’re supposed to be one big community. I’m a bleeding heart liberal when it comes to a lot of s–t.”
Joe recently revealed the one guest he turned down from appearing on his podcast.
