Shock jock Howard Stern says he hates anyone who votes for Trump

September 18, 2024 | | Print Article

So-called shock jock Howard Stern declared on Monday that he doesn’t “hate” former President Trump, but he hates the “stupid” people who vote for him.

Then again, with a net worth of $650 million and his 5-year deal with Sirius, estimated to be worth as much as $100 million a year, set to expire at the end of this year, Stern understands that at the age of 70, his schtick has run its course and he doesn’t have to worry about turning off half the nation.

“This whole idea of you like me, you are good, and if you don’t, you are bad… I’ve been the victim of this,” Stern said, aligning himself with 13-year-old Swifties in defense of pop diva Taylor Swift.

“I don’t agree with Trump politically, I don’t think he should be anywhere near the White House. I don’t hate the guy. I hate the people who vote for him. I think they’re stupid. I do,” he added. “I’ll be honest with you, I have no respect for you.”

Then again, few Trump supporters covet the respect of a man who was once the vanguard of battling censorship before turning into a reliable mouthpiece for the DC political class pushing authoritarian policies on the American people.

Feigning defiance in the face of what is likely the end of his once-spectacular run, Stern claimed he doesn’t mind losing “half my listeners” he just took a dump on. Taking his cue from a liberal listener, Stern would also regurgitate the Democratic narrative of comparing Trump to Hitler.

“Hitler was perceived as a clown in Germany… He was one of these buffoonish characters. Somehow he won an election,” he said. “And that was the end of Germany. He dragged them through hell and back.”

“This does feel like a replay of pre-World War II,” Stern added. “I am one of those people who believe that if the election goes the wrong way, it’s the end of the United States.”

This is precisely the type of rhetoric that has resulted in TWO attempts on Trump’s life — many followers are convinced other attempts are inevitable before election day — and Stern’s inflammatory remarks came ONE day after the second failed assassination.

Social media users lit up the man who “turned into what he used to fight against,” as one person aptly stated… here’s a quick example of some of the responses, as seen on X:
