Joe Rogan is, without a doubt, one of the most influential personalities around. He, time and again, shares his opinion on important matters, especially U.S. politics. In one of the JRE episodes, Rogan shared his opinion on Robert F. Kennedy and pointed out why he is different from the other American politicians.
However, Rogan’s comments weren’t received well, as the UFC color commentator faced a lot of criticism for endorsing Kennedy’s name for the role of US president. But was he really doing that? Rogan took to his X account to clarify.

Rogan has often faced criticism for talking on multiple topics. However, this time, he has the answer to the criticism. “For the record, this isn’t an endorsement. This is me saying that I like RFKjr as a person, and I really appreciate the way he discusses things with civility and intelligence,” the podcaster wrote on X, clarifying his comments on Kennedy.

Kennedy is running as an independent candidate in the upcoming US presidential election. Characterizing him as a straight talker, as compared to many Democrats and Republicans, Rogan said, “He (Kennedy) doesn’t attack people, he attacks actions and ideas, but he’s much more reasonable and intelligent. I mean, the guy was an environmental lawyer and he cleaned up the East River. He’s a legitimate guy.”
But Kennedy is not the only politician Rogan has shared his views on. He previously talked about the former U.S. President Donald Trump and his reaction after getting shot during his rally in Pennsylvania.
Talking about Trump’s famous ‘fight’ slogan, the JRE host wrote on X, “I also think Trump raising his fist and saying “fight!” after getting shot is one of the most American fucking things of all time. I’m not the guy to get political information from. If you want that from a comic, go to @ComicDaveSmith. He knows what he’s talking about.”
Apart from Trump, the JRE host also spoke about Kamala Harris and how the media is trying to create a particular image of her.

In the last few weeks, the Americans have seen significant changes leading up to their presidential election. Current U.S. President Joe Biden surprised everyone when he decided to not contest for the second time. His VP Kamala Harris will now be the Democrats’ nominee.
Rogan was in a conversation with the author Michael Malice on the #2182 episode of his famous podcast, the JRE, where Malice talked about Kamala Harris and the ‘gaslighting’ method used by the media to propagate her as the solution to all problems. Rogan, after listening to the claims, was unable to resist himself, as he chimed in.
“It all bothers me, the fragility of the human mind. You know, everybody forever was like, ‘Kamala Harris is the worst vice president. She’s the least popular vice president of all time,” Rogan said.

The JRE host then pointed out how Harris has suddenly become the savior since the time her candidature was announced. “All the social media posts about her…try Googling a negative story on her; you won’t find one. So, Tada,” Rogan added.
It’s quite clear that the UFC commentator speaks his mind and rather than endorsing or opposing any politician, he only puts forward his point of view. Do you agree with Rogan’s views on Robert Kennedy and Kamala Harris though? Let us know in the comments.
