Former President Donald J. Trump turned his fire on proudly “woke” shock jock Howard Stern, unloading on the Sirius/XM personality who he ridiculed as a “broken weirdo” who’s a shadow of his former self.
It’s not exactly clear what Stern did that angered the runaway leader for the GOP nomination but he has been a frequent critic of his former on-air buddy with Trump having been a frequent guest on his radio show before the legendary personality took a leftward turn, including the COVID paranoia and authoritarianism that manifested itself among Democrats.
“The real Howard Stern is a weak, pathetic, and disloyal guy, who lost his friends and MUCH of his audience. Until just recently, I haven’t heard his name mentioned in years. I did his show many times in the good old days, and then he went Woke, and nobody cares about him any longer. I don’t know what they (really!) pay him, but it shouldn’t be much. His influence is gone, and without that, he’s got NOTHING – Just a broken weirdo, unattractive both inside and out, trying like hell to be relevant!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

During a recent episode of his show, Stern embraced the label of “woke” which may or may not have something to do with the timing of Trump’s blast.

“I hear that a lot that I’m not good anymore because I’m woke,” the 69-year-old shock jock said. “By the way, I kind of take that as a compliment, that I’m woke. I’ll tell you how I feel about it. To me the opposite of woke, is being asleep.”
“And if woke means I can’t get behind Trump, which is what I think it means, or that I support people who want to be transgender or I’m for the vaccine, dude call me woke as you f**king want,” Stern added.
“I’m not for stupidity, you know. I ran out Friday morning. I was over at CVS. Thank you, CVS. I went over there 9 a.m. and got myself that new vaccine for Covid. F**king science. This f**king country is so great,” he said.
“I am woke, motherf**ker, and I love it. I want to be awake. I want to read legitimate news sources. Here’s how woke I am. I believe the election was not rigged,” Stern ranted, referring to the 2020 election. “I am woke. I think that’s a compliment.”
The self-proclaimed “King of All Media” also tore into GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) who has been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons lately.
“Lauren Boebert is a disgrace to this country! Forget the politics. She’s in a titty dress. She’s with some dude,” Stern ranted. “Looks like she’s obviously vaping, but also looks like she might be grabbing his penis during ‘Beetlejuice.’”
Like so many other once-great rebels, Stern has gone fully establishment.
