Now, things took a wild turn when MSNBC got involved. They posted a video clip of none other than Joe Rogan, but it wasn’t what it seemed. The clip, posted on MSNBC’s TikTok account, made it look like Rogan was praising Vice President Kamala Harris.
But Rogan quickly set the record straight. He wasn’t talking about Harris at all – he was actually talking about former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard. MSNBC had to walk back their mistake, even deleting the original clip, and admitting that they messed up by misrepresenting what Rogan said.
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!”

What’s more, this whole situation spun up some rumors that Rogan might be suing MSNBC, which turned out to be completely false. On his podcast, he made it very clear that no lawsuit was coming but was quick to call out how MSNBC edited his remarks. The network pieced together his words, making it look like he was heaping praise on Kamala Harris when he was actually discussing Gabbard’s military service.
This isn’t the first time Rogan has faced misleading reports. Just recently, there was a flurry of headlines claiming he endorsed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for president. That’s not quite accurate either. Rogan did speak highly of Kennedy’s approach to politics, noting his civil and thoughtful demeanor compared to typical political figures. However, Rogan later clarified on social media that his admiration for Kennedy doesn’t mean he’s making an endorsement.
Joe Rogan calls out MSNBC for takings words he said about Tulsi Gabbard and acting like it was about Kamala Harris:
“I’m not suing MSNBC but this is what MSNBC did. They took a clip of me talking about Tulsi Gabbard and they edited it up and made it look like I was saying great… pic.twitter.com/ZyyVimkXWG

All in all, it seems Rogan’s words are often taken out of context, but he’s not backing down from addressing these mix-ups head-on. Whether it’s political figures or media outlets, Rogan continues to push back against the narratives being crafted around him.
