In episode #2182 of his podcast, Rogan was actually critical of Harris. The video posted by MSNBC, however, spliced together different parts of the episode to suggest otherwise.
Unbelievable. MSNBC deceptively edited this clip to make it look like Joe Rogan is fawning over Kamala Harris.
“She is a strong woman. She is a person who served overseas twice ... She's everything you want!”

Tulsi Gabbard, a former U.S. representative and political commentator, has also weighed in, accusing MSNBC of misrepresenting the podcast. She claims that Rogan was discussing her, not Harris, in certain sections, and called the report "completely fake." Gabbard, known for her independent political stance, has previously been a vocal critic of media misrepresentation.
MSNBC is again EXPOSED as a propaganda machine for the Democrat Elite, and how they will brazenly try to deceive the American people.

Rogan, a well-known UFC commentator and podcaster, has consistently expressed scepticism about Harris's presidential prospects, stating that "nobody wants" her as president.
Joe Rogan says nobody wants Kamala Harris as president. And he says Gavin Newsom isn’t even human. RFK is human he says, but not Newsom. I used to report on him when I lived in LA and his wife is a pathological liar. Some say even on the stand. pic.twitter.com/jzkMFLKI1Y
