Joe Rogan stated good issues about Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — and, boy, does Donald Trump appear pissed.
The truth is, the GOP presidential nominee advised on Friday that UFC followers may activate Rogan, a podcaster and combined martial arts fanatic, the subsequent time he reveals up at a match.
It began when Rogan was talking about politicians on “The Joe Rogan Expertise,” explaining that the unbiased White Home candidate is “the one one which is sensible to me.”
“He doesn’t assault individuals. He assaults actions and concepts,” Rogan stated on Thursday’s episode. “However he’s rather more cheap and clever.”
His feedback put Trump’s followers in meltdown mode, believing that Rogan had successfully endorsed Kennedy.
However a short while later, Rogan clarified on X, previously Twitter, that this was not his intention:
For the document, this isn’t an endorsement. That is me saying that I like RFKjr as an individual, and I actually respect the way in which he discusses issues with civility and intelligence. I believe we may use extra of that on this world.
Nonetheless, Trump wasn’t joyful to listen to Rogan converse glowingly about his rival. In a post on his Fact Social platform, he advised that individuals could boo the podcaster “the subsequent time he enters the UFC Ring.”
It stays to be seen if Rogan will certainly get booed: Although he’s recognized to supply commentary at MMA fights, he isn’t scheduled to take action on the UFC’s subsequent pay-per-view occasion set for Aug. 17, according to the outlet MMA Fighting.
In fact, individuals had ideas concerning the former president’s response to Rogan’s Kennedy rave.
However Rogan wasn’t the one podcaster who was placed on the spot over Kennedy.
After political commentator Tim Pool on Friday stated that he was voting for Kennedy, the candidate reached out to thank him “on your confidence in me however most of all on your steadfast protection of the Structure and relentless love for our nation.”
That landed Pool in a clumsy place, pushing him to clarify that he had simply been “trolling the haters” and really intends to vote for Trump.
