Joe Rogan says his comments on Tulsi Gabbard were taken "out of context" and wrongly linked to Kamala Harris
Joe Rogan called out "out of context" edited footage that tried to convince people he supported Kamala Harris.
Tulsi Gabbard is an American politician who formerly represented Hawaii's second congressional district. Over the years, Gabbard has made several appearances on Joe Rogan's well-known podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE).
Rogan has previously voiced his support for Gabbard as a person and politician due to her background of serving overseas. Unfortunately, the legendary UFC commentator revealed people edited his comments about Gabbard to make it seem like he was talking about the current U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris.
During episode #2186 of JRE, Rogan talked with fellow standup comedian Ari Matti. The podcaster had this to say about people trying to trick others into thinking he was supporting Harris:
"I was talking about how great Tulsi Gabbard is, about how if you really wanted a great democratic candidate that was a woman, woman of color, congresswoman for eight years, served overseas in a medical unit twice... They tried to say I was talking about Kamala Harris, so they edited it out of context."

Will Joe Rogan commentate next week's UFC 305?
On Saturday, Aug. 17, the worldwide leader in mixed martial arts will return to Australia for a pay-per-view event inside the RAC Arena. In the UFC 305 main event, Dricus du Plessis is scheduled to defend his middleweight title for the first time in an intense rivalry with former champion Israel Adesanya.
Next Saturday's fight card is high-profile, but Joe Rogan isn't expected to join the commentary team. Over the last few years, Rogan has avoided traveling overseas for UFC events to prioritize North American pay-per-views.
Instead, Rogan's next UFC appearance will likely be on Sept. 14 at UFC 306, which goes down inside the Sphere in Las Vegas, Nevada. Dana White has claimed the event on Mexican Independence Day will go down as one of the greatest combat sports spectacles of all time.
UFC 306 will be headlined by Sean O'Malley defending his bantamweight title against Merab Dvalishvili. Meanwhile, the co-main event features a trilogy bout between 'Ultimate Fighter Season 32' coaches - women's flyweight champion Alexa Grasso and former champion Valentina Shevchenko.
