Famous podcaster Joe Rogan recently sounded off on “The View,” calling the panel of predominantly liberal co-hosts a “rabies-infested henhouse” after an interview with author Coleman Hughes. During the broadcast, Hughes was derided for his opinion on contemporary race relations, where co-host Sunny Hosting suggested he was a “charlatan” and a “pawn” for his views.

Hughes recently released a book earlier this year called, “The End of Race Politics: Arguments for a Colorblind America,” where it is evident by the title of his work that he disagrees with current ideologies such as Critical Race Theory and other left-wing political obsessions that group individuals based on their immutable characteristics.

According to Hughes, to solve inequalities that exist across American society, people should be treated “without regard to race,” but instead based on their socio-economic status. However, Hostin took issue with the author’s argument, claiming his book is “fundamentally flawed,” stating his desire for colorblind treatment of Americans has been “co-opted” by the right.

“Many in the black community, if I’m being honest with you, because I want to be, believe that you are being used as a pawn by the right and that you’re charlatan of sorts,” Hostin told Hughes during the segment. Hughes calmly disagreed with the assertion, disputing the idea that Hostin suggested he was a “pawn” for conservatives.

“I don’t think there’s any evidence I’ve been co-opted by anyone and I think that’s an ad-hominem tactic people use to not address, really, the important conversations we’re having here,” Hughes rebutted.

“Well, it is the show that people love to hate,” the 56-year-old podcaster said after Hughes’ told him how much attention he’s been receiving from people siding with him since the segment aired. Following his appearance on “The View,” Hughes sat down for an interview with Joe Rogan, where the matter was addressed.

Rogan did not hold back in expressing his disdain toward “The View” asserting that the co-hosts on the show say “ridiculous things.” Hughes explained to Rogan that he “didn’t know who Sunny Hostin was before going on “The View,” and he had “no idea what to expect.” He further noted that he didn’t anticipate the panel to “ambush” him.

“I wasn’t expecting necessarily for her to kind of try to ambush me in that way and attack my character in that way and I responded to it in the moment as I do, and I didn’t expect it to go as viral as it did, but I think it arguably went more viral than anything I’ve ever done,” Hughes said on “The Joe Rogan Experience.” He further claimed that Hostin approached the conversation with an “agenda.”

“Well, their audience is not really their audience,” Rogan said, weighing in on the daytime talk show. “Their audience is a group of people they bring in to watch television shows.” At one point during the discussion about “The View,” Rogan said, “They get so much hate-watching and hate-watching viral clips of them saying ridiculous things, I mean it is a rabies infested henhouse.”
