Joe Rogan calls Robert F. Kennedy Jr. the only politician that "makes sense": "I am a fan"
Joe Rogan is known to voice his opinions on a wide variety of topics on his world-renowned podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience. The UFC commentator recently weighed in on the ongoing presidential race, revealing his reasoning for supporting Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is running as an independent candidate.
Speaking to guest Bob Gymlan on episode #2185 of JRE, Rogan stated:
"That's just what they do. That's politics. They do it on the left. They do it on the right. They gaslight you, they manipulate you, they promote narratives and the only one who's not doing that is Robert F. Kennedy Jr... Yeah, I am a fan. Yeah, he's the only one that makes sense to me. He's the only one that he doesn't attack people. He attacks actions and ideas, but he's much more reasonable and intelligent."
Rogan continued:
"The guy was an environmental attorney and cleaned up the East River. I mean, he's a legitimate guy, you know, before anyone started calling him an anti-vaxxer - which I thought he was, too. I thought he was this nut, this like conspiracy theorist nut until I read his book."

Rogan added that reading the presidential candidate's book, 'The Real Anthony Fauci', changed his opinion. Despite the UFC commentator's endorsement, however, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is unlikely to remain competitive in the presidential race, which often comes down to two candidates - Kamala Harris and Donald Trump in 2024.

Joe Rogan labels media as "polarizing" while discussing American political system
Joe Rogan recently hosted guest Alan Graham on episode #2181 of JRE, where he discussed the political divide between Democrats and Republicans in the United States. The UFC commentator claimed that society is ridden with anxiety before adding:
"We're losing our understanding of humanity. And it's also extremely polarizing - we had a conversation about this at your place - the news today, it's so polarizing. It's us versus them inside our country for the first time in my life. When I was a kid, when I was in high school, my parents were very liberal and they never talked disparagingly about conservative people or Republicans."

Rogan noted that his parents had conservative friends, and, at most, would have political disagreements over dinner. He added that, nowadays, both sides are sure they are right and often throw out labels to those who disagree. The United States presidential elections take place on Tuesday, Nov. 5.
