Joe Rogan recently addressed rumors about a potential lawsuit against MSNBC over a video that allegedly misrepresented his stance on Kamala Harris.
In episode #2195 of The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan clarified that he is not suing the network but expressed frustration over what he described as deceptive editing. He explained that MSNBC "deceptively edited" a segment from episode #2182, where he was discussing Tulsi Gabbard, to make it appear as though he was endorsing Harris.
Rogan shared that even his stepfather believed the lawsuit rumors, saying, "My stepdad contacted me to tell me he’s happy that I’m suing MSNBC. I’m like, I’m not suing MSNBC."
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!”

"They took a clip of me talking about Tulsi Gabbard and edited it to make it look like I was saying great things about Kamala Harris," Rogan said. He criticized the network for taking his words out of context, emphasizing that his comments were about Gabbard’s experience, not Harris.
"They don’t care about the truth; they just want a narrative," Joe Rogan on legacy news media networks.
Rogan also highlighted the broader implications of such media practices, calling them a "real offense" and a "gross lie." He warned about the dangers of distorting influential figures' views to manipulate public opinion.
MSNBC is again EXPOSED as a propaganda machine for the Democrat Elite, and how they will brazenly try to deceive the American people.

Tulsi Gabbard, who was central to the original discussion, also described the MSNBC report as "completely fake." Known for her independent political stance, Gabbard accused the network of misrepresentation, stressing that Rogan’s remarks were directed at her, not Harris. The controversy has reignited conversations about media ethics and the responsibility of networks to accurately represent public figures' statements.
