“…if woke means I can’t get behind Trump… or that I support people who want to be transgender, or I’m for the vaccine — dude, call me woke as you f*cking want!”
Shock jock Howard Stern said proudly proclaimed he was "woke" in another tirade against former president and current Republican frontrunner for the 2024 Republican nomination Donald Trump.
Stern, who made a career off interviewing strippers, said on his SiriusXM show on Monday in response to a fan on YouTube claiming the show had gone woke, “I hear that a lot, that I’m not good anymore because I’m woke. By the way, I kind of take that as a compliment, that I’m woke.”
The host, who in 2020 said he was “all in" for then-candidate Joe Biden continued, “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*cking want!"
Stern who previously told Trump supporters to drink bleach and die, bragged about his latest COVID-19 booster shot, Stern mocked critics of the vaccine, and added, “I am woke, motherf*cker, 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.”
“So, I am woke, man. I think that’s a compliment.”
Before Trump ran for office, Stern had said that he considered him a friend.
