Joe Rogan Blasts Supporters of Mother Charged in 3 Child Murders

2 articles · Updated · Fox News · Sep 2

Summary

  • Joe Rogan used his podcast Tuesday to denounce the online and courthouse support behind Lindsay Clancy, who is on trial in Massachusetts for the 2023 killings of her three children.
  • 3 first-degree murder charges hinge on Clancy’s insanity defense: she admits killing Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, but argues postpartum psychosis left her not criminally responsible.
  • Social media backing has become a flashpoint in the case, with Rogan arguing a father would never draw similar sympathy and calling the pro-Clancy reaction evidence of a broader cultural double standard.
  • 13 psychiatric drugs prescribed before the deaths are central to some supporters’ arguments, and psychiatrist Josef Witt-Doerring said Clancy should be judged on medical and legal evidence, not viral narratives.
  • The dispute now reaches beyond the courtroom, reflecting a wider fight over postpartum mental illness, criminal responsibility and whether public empathy has eclipsed the deaths of three children.
