The Republican presidential nominee made the weirdest comment in his interview with Joe Rogan.

JD Vance claimed that he and Donald Trump could likely win the votes of ā€œnormalā€ gay men because they ā€œjust want to be left the hell alone.ā€

Vance appeared onĀ The Joe Rogan Experience for a three-hour interview released Thursday, discussing everything fromĀ Emily in ParisĀ to him standing at his front door for an hour with a loaded gun after the first Trump assassination attempt.

But one of the wildest moments in the interview came when Vance told Rogan he believed he and Trump would win the ā€œnormal gay guy voteā€ due to the ā€œextremist religionā€ of ā€œwokeness.ā€

ā€œFrankly, I wouldnā€™t be surprised if me and Trump won just the normal gay guy vote, because again, they just want to be left the hell alone,ā€ Vance said. ā€œAnd now you have all this crazy stuff on top of it that theyā€™re like ā€˜No, no ā€¦ we didnā€™t want to give pharmaceutical products to 9-year-olds who are transitioning their genders.ā€™ā€

Rogan then went on to discuss how itā€™s actually the transgender movement thatā€™s homophobic, pushing some of his most outlandish anti-trans views yet.

    For no reason in particular you made me think about my circle of friends and realize Iā€™m not sure if anyone I know is gay, because almost the entirety of my friend group is some flavor of bi/ace/demi/pan and/or trans/NB. I think thereā€™s only 2-3 straight people in my whole group, and I donā€™t know how much I count since my two partners are Trans-questioning or NB lol.
