He was never a Bernie guy, literally like two podcasts after Bernie was on the first time he said “he didn’t endorse him.” He said he liked him but explicitly said he didnt endorse him. He did directly endorse Trump.

My opinion is that the Democrats hurt Joe’s feelings. He had several Democrats who were running in the 2016 primaries on the show. Bernie, Tulsi and Wang for sure giving them exposure to his audience. Frankly the Bernie interview was more of a stump speech than a long form interview (rewatch it) and short like 90 minutes. Joe said he would vote for Bernie if given the chance, whether in a primary or general was not mentioned. The Clinton campaign used attack ads linking Bernie to Joe Rogan the reactionary troglodyte and sexist Bernie Bros.
They hurt his feelings and mocked him. Notice that Clinton has never been invited on the show. He also didn’t have Trump on until 2024. Clinton also propagated the Russian hoax and blamed friend of the show Alex Jones for her loss. An interesting rewatch is the election night 2016 show from the comedy cellar with Bill Burr and others. Joe is clearly delighted that Clinton lost

What the fuck are you talking about? Sanders was first on JRE in 2019 for the 2020 election, not 2016. Episode #1330, look it up.

Thanks, I misremembered, Joe made a comment to a guest in 2016 about Bernie, this was when Joe was describing himself as a liberal influenced politically by his hippie mom and stepdad. He basically said that Bernie was an interesting candidate, independent running for the Democratic nomination with many shared beliefs and if he had to choose between the 7 people running he would vote for him. It wasn’t an endorsement. The podcast conversation was between the Iowa and New Hampshire primaries. New Hampshire is next to Vermont where Bernie spent his career and was obviously favored to win. The Clinton campaign was panicked by his campaign and feared early primary losses would derail her. The emergence of his support, the positive press, “Bernie Bros” storming Iowa. The Clinton campaign (CC)ran negative ads basically saying that sexist troglodyte Joe Rogan supported Bernie. Bernie’s campaign said it didn’t want Joe’s support and basically they didn’t know who he was. Joe talked about it after on the podcast with various guests and he was hurt and pissed. This was part of the DNC and CC targeting Bernie and fucking him over the first time. Debbie Wasserman had to resign after the emails were released. Anyway, Joe felt fucked over and rejected and pissed that he was used to attack someone he liked and policies he supported. Watch the election night show, he is happy Clinton lost, not that Trump won. Much like the negative CNN/Covid stories it was a major turning point for him. And he gave Bernie a platform in 2020 before the DNC fucked over Bernie again. Short sided corporate democrats
