Joe Rogan Makes Presidential Endorsement (Spoiler Alert: RFK Jr)
Newsweek ^ | 08/08/2024 | Andrew Stanton

Posted on 08/08/2024 3:04:28 PM PDT by Drew68

Joe Rogan has made his endorsement in the presidential race, announcing he is supporting independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

"I am a fan. He's the only one to make sense to me. He's the only one that doesn't attack people. He attacks actions and ideas, but he's much more reasonable and intelligent," Rogan said during an episode of his podcast.

Kennedy is running as an independent challenger to former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. He has sought to appeal to centrist voters who may be disillusioned by the policies of the Democratic and Republican parties.

Polls show that he faces an uphill battle to victory in November, as he is not even on the ballot in some states. But he could still play a pivotal role in the election if he siphons off enough voters from either candidate to give the opponent an advantage in the key swing states. Some polls suggest Kennedy may be more of a threat to Trump than to Harris.

Newsweek reached out to Kennedy's campaign for comment via email.

This sucks.

Rogan's base (11 million listeners on Spotify) is almost entirely young white males who are right-leaning and critical of wokeism. The very people Trump needs to get to the polls for him in November.

Proof positive that Rogan is a weak suck.

How can he endorse RFK Jr? How can anyone, for that matter?

Saw his Prime special from San Antonio and he’s as funny and brilliant as a finding half a worm in your just eaten apple

The Democrats are fighting tooth and nail to keep RFK jr off of the Texas ballot. It is not certain if Rogan, an Austin resident, will be able to vote for RFK Jr.

How do stupid people become so successful? He knows Kennedy has no chance of winning.

They're just Rogan's listening audience, not his followers. I listen to Rogan sometimes because he's entertaining and a good, open-minded interviewer with interesting guests, not because I respect his views enough to do whatever he does. I'll be voting Trump. Most of Rogan's audience will likely vote Trump regardless of what Rogan does.

No one votes because of an endorsement. People vote on their wallet. If you aren't voting for Trump, you're a person of privilege. You can afford it. Government takes care of you, mommy and/or daddy. You are very wealthy.

Rogan giggles like a little girl. Can’t speak in complete sentences. Scatterbrained. Kennedy is the obvious pick for him.

“Never attacks anybody.”? He mighta wanna ask poor dead and reburied Mrs. Kennedy about that.

Wastes his vote. RFK Jr. is not going anywhere.

Yeah, you could say, as long as people don’t vote for him...

But he’s had his chance for more than a year and hasn’t come even wide, let alone close, to making the deal.

Sos he can wash his hands and say he had no part. Brilliant actually if you are paid to have content for big money.

There are 24 million working class white males in this country who aren't even registered to vote. These are the very Americans Trump needs to reach out to and motivate to put down their Xbox controllers and get to the polls if he wants to win.

These are "low-info" voters and their votes count the same as yours and mine do.

I don’t know why he would even make it endorsement. And RFK Jr is nutty is a fruitcake. I don’t think Rogan is all that smart, but sometimes he has interesting guests.

Yeah, I think we’ve had that discussion recently. Maybe this is his way to draw a percent or two from her? But with the recent comments from RFK Jr, first about worms eating his brain, then the bear, and now, yesterday, about collecting and filling his freezer with roadkill, I begin to wonder about the guy. And follow that up with Rogan’s endorsement. Someone’s being played or is just crazy.

Weird. Two weeks ago he said Trump “had the election in the bag”.
