Joe Rogan fumes over ‘deceptive’ Kamala Harris video after denying he endorsed her as next President
Joe Rogan has criticised MSNBC for a “misleading” video in which he allegedly endorsed Kamala Harris ahead of the US presidential election in November.
The 57-year-old UFC commentator slammed the left-wing media network after it compiled “misleading” footage of himself “praising” the US vice president on his podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience” in a video shared to TikTok earlier this summer.
Rogan clarified that MSNBC had actually edited and spliced together clips of himself talking about both Harris and former U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (R-Hawaii) from his show, before the outlet later removed the clip. Gabbard recently endorsed Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
“I’m not going to sue MSNBC, but this is what MSNBC did. They took a clip of me talking about Tulsi Gabbard and they edited it to make it look like I was saying great things about Kamala Harris,” Rogan said on his podcast.
“I was talking about Tulsi Gabbard and then I was talking about the media behind Kamala Harris, all the hype and all these people just thinking she’s good, she can win, and putting those two things together.”

The network improperly edited footage of Rogan praising Kamala Harris on his podcast
He continued, “I was talking about Tulsi Gabbard who was a congresswoman for eight years and how she served overseas on two deployments in medical units treating people who had been blown up in war. As if that’s not something Kamala Harris did.
“All you have to do is take something out of context from someone who’s not going to watch the movie anyway.”
Rogan then accused Democrats of not caring about the truth, adding, “They just want the story to reach enough people, because most people only read the surface.”
Rogan has not yet officially endorsed a presidential candidate ahead of the election, but has previously praised the independent candidacy of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for the White House.
RFK Jr. suspended his campaign last week and endorsed Trump in the process. Celebrity Trump voters include Hulk Hogan, Kid Rock, Amber Rose, and others.

Gabbard also criticized Harris’ campaign and MSNBC for misleading American voters on X, suggesting in a post earlier this month that both parties had violated a Federal Election Committee law.
She tweeted: ‘MSNBC has been EXPOSED AGAIN as a propaganda machine for the Democratic Elite, showing how they will shamelessly attempt to mislead the American people.
‘Part of @joerogan was talking about Kamala; in another part of the video he was talking about me. MSNBC combined it to make it seem like everything was said about Kamala and that he supported her. This is of course completely untrue.
“Furthermore, it is another violation of the FEC Act because they are not reporting their propaganda as a contribution to Kamala’s campaign.”
