Podcaster and veteran UFC commentator Joe Rogan slammed MSNBC for editing a clip to make it appear that he’s praising Vice President Kamala Harris.
The clip featured Rogan praising former Democratic Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, but was manipulated to appear as if the remarks were made about Harris. His comments were taken from two separate clips and mashed together as if his praise was for the Democratic presidential nominee.
Rogan brushed aside rumors that he planned to sue MSNBC but said, “They took a clip of me talking about Tulsi Gabbard and they edited it up and made it look like I was saying great things about Kamala Harris.”
“I was talking about Tulsi Gabbard being a congresswoman for eight years and about how she served overseas in two deployments in medical units dealing with people who were blown up from the war. Like that’s not something Kamala Harris did,” Rogan added.
The Joe Rogan Experience host said that his comments were taken “out of context” and shared to an audience who do not regularly watch his content.
Saying that MSNBC “don’t care about the truth”, Rogan added, “They just want a narrative to get out there amongst enough people because most people are just surface readers.”
MSNBC has since deleted the video and added a disclaimer. Nevertheless, concerns remain about the impact the mashed video may have had.
Others noted that such actions by leftist media outlets may drive more people away from the Harris camp.
Many called for Rogan to invite Donald Trump as a guest, particularly given Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s recent endorsement of the Republican.
