Joe Rogan recently asserted that Marjorie Taylor Greene holds more progressive stances than Hillary Clinton on various topics, notably LGBT rights.

During a conversation with Palmer Luckey, the defense tech entrepreneur behind Anduril Industries, on The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan highlighted how Clinton’s positions might be seen as “hardline” in today’s political climate.

Clinton, who once served as the First Lady and a Democratic senator for New York, faced off against Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential race and Barack Obama in the 2008 primaries, though she did not secure the presidency in either contest.

Greene, a Georgia Republican closely allied with Trump and the MAGA movement, is perceived as more isolationist and supportive of LGBT rights compared to Clinton’s views from two decades back, Rogan implied.

“Clinton would be positioned to the right of Marjorie Taylor Greene,” Rogan remarked during the show.

Luckey riffed: ‘That’s a great point. Marjorie Taylor Greene, you’re right, she’s very pro-LGBT, she certainly is not for intervention in the Middle East.’

‘Like I’ve never thought about it though, Marjorie Taylor Greene would be far, far left of a Hillary Clinton running again today,’ Luckey continued. 

But Taylor Greene has repeatedly used anti-LGBT rhetoric, referring to transgender women as ‘biological men’ and stating that letting them use women’s changing rooms is ‘evil’ and ‘child abuse.’

Podcaster Joe Rogan joked on his show last Thursday with Anduril Industries Founder Palmer Luckey that conservative Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s political views today would be seen as further right than those of Hillary Clinton’s in the early 2000s

Greene has condemned Republican congressional leadership in the past year and has been vocal about her criticisms of Speaker Mike Johnson 

She backed legislation to ban Pride flags at US embassies and ban trans girls and women from competing in female sports, infuriating the Left by ‘misgendering’ trans people in her public statements.

The House formally censured Greene in 2023 for ‘perpetuating LGBTQ hate speech’ after she displayed anti-trans posters and called opposing lawmakers ‘groomers’. 

During the podcast, Luckey said the government should not manage marriage, as it is a cultural and religious ceremony, and how Clinton was staunchly opposed to gay marriage for years. 

‘Hillary, you might remember, even in 2008 she was against gay marriage, and she was out there, “I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman,”‘ the defense tech founder stated roughly halfway through the episode. 

While it is true that Clinton opposed gay marriage in the early 2000s, this was a common position at the time among mainstream Democrats.

‘I believe that marriage is not just a bond but a sacred bond between a man and a woman,’ Clinton said in 2004 when she was a Democratic senator from New York. 

Since then her position evolved and Clinton has renounced that statement.

During her tenure as Secretary of State, Clinton prided herself one being one of the most prominent LGBT activists in the world.

Rogan and Luckey joked that Hillary Clinton (shown above in New York in October 2025) used to hold what today would be considered conservative views on involvement in the Middle East and gay marriage

She introduced policies to ensure equal benefits for same-sex partners in the State Department and backed gay rights at the UN Human Rights Day speech in Geneva in 2011.

In recent years, Clinton has publicly opposed anti-transgender state legislation that bars access to sports and healthcare. 

Taylor Greene has been raising eyebrows by splitting from her party line recently, and she has been open about the distance she feels growing between her and mainstream Republicans. 

The Georgia lawmaker has decried her party’s approach to the heightened costs of living due to healthcare and housing price increases – a talking point seldom used by Republicans during Trump’s second term. 

She has also warned about the president’s deportations impacting the economy. 

‘We have to do something about labor, and that needs to be a smarter plan than just rounding up every single person and deporting them,’ she said recently. 

The Daily Mail has contacted Taylor Greene for comment.
