“She had an opportunity.”

Last week, Joe Rogan made headlines after he had presidential candidate Donald Trump on his podcast.

Although Rogan’s wasn’t the first podcast Trump appeared on during his campaign run (appearing on comedian Theo Von’s “This Past Weekend” weeks prior), it was by far the biggest.

And, this is the first time in history podcasts are being used as promotional tools in lieu of conventional media.

But, earlier this week, Joe explained why he would not extend the same invitation to Kamala Harris. Speaking to Francis Foster & Konstantin Kisin, on episode #2220 of The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan explained:

“Someone could look at this and say, ‘Oh you’re being a diva’. But, she had an opportunity to come here when she was in Texas… I gave them an open invitation.

Rogan, 57, went on to explain that Harris’ team had originally reached out when Trump was scheduled to appear. But, logistical issues prevented the appearance from happening.

“It was very difficult to tie down.”

Joe also mentioned that he had concerns about other members of her staff being in the room and possibly interjecting.

“My whole goal with her and with him is to just talk. Just have a conversation like a human being… You get a sense of them at least…. I don’t give a f*ck what we talk about. Who the f*ck are you?”

Rogan has become one of the biggest headlines during the 2024 presidential campaign. Most recently with his affiliation with Tony Hinchcliffe, who made apparently racially charged comments during Trump’s 22,000-person Madison Square Garden rally last Sunday.
