Joe Rogan offered the quickest flip-flop as he on Thursday endorsed Robert F Kennedy Jr’s independent presidential campaign and then on Friday said Donald Trump‘s action of raising his fist after a bullet grazed his ear was “one of the most American f***ing things of all time”.
The podcaster said Kennedy was the only candidate that made sense to him.“He 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.”
Rogan has a huge audience, with more than 14.5 million listeners just on Spotify, which this year gave him a deal worth a reported $250m.

At Rogan’s ‘endorsement’ for Kennedy Jr, Trump was not happy and posted: “It will be interesting to see how loudly Joe Rogan gets BOOED the next time he enters the UFC Ring??? MAGA2024” Rogan is a UFC commentator and often enters the ring for post-fight interviews.
Joe Rogan then said he was not actually endorsing RFK jr. What he meant was that he liked him as a person.
“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. I think we could use more of that in this world. 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 actually knows what he’s talking about,” Joe Rogan said.
