The Joe Rogan Experience/Spotify

Fresh off his apology for repeatedly using the n-word, Joe Rogan says he’s a victim … because that compilation video was only put together as a “political hit job,” and yet, he’s found a silver lining.

The latest episode of the “Joe Rogan Experience” dropped Tuesday, and opened with Joe expressing “relief” a few days after posting his lengthy mea culpa. Joe admits the video showing him saying the full, uncensored epithet on his podcast was “good, because it makes me address some s**t I wish wasn’t out there.”

While comedian Akaash Singh gave JR props for admitting his mistake, Rogan clearly questions the motives of the people who resurfaced the old clips.

What’s interesting is … Joe isn’t shying away from racial controversies. He dove right in again, openly questioning fellow comedian Awkwafina for finally addressing criticism she’s faced for using a so-called “blaccent.”

His take? Celebs shouldn’t apologize for “nonsense.” Sooo … here we go again? 🤷🏽‍♂️
