Mehdi Hasan rips Joe Rogan for claiming 'liar' Tim Walz forced his hand on supporting Trump

03 December 2024

The evening before the United States' 2024 presidential election, podcast host Joe Rogan endorsed Donald Trump — saying that he agreed with Tesla/Space X CEO Elon Musk's "compelling case" for him.

Rogan hadn't made an endorsement before that. But at the last minute, he officially came out in support of Trump.

In an early December podcast, Rogan cited Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz — Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate — as a key factor in his support of Trump.

Rogan implied that Walz has been dishonest about his military record. In fact, the Minnesota governor spent 24 years in the U.S. Army National Guard. And former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan called Rogan out on X, formerly Twitter.

Rogan, on his show, said, "Well, I wanted to stay out of the presidential election s---, because it's gross….. When that Tim Walz guy — it's so nuts that that guy was given the vice presidential (nomination)…. You're telling me you don't care if someone's a liar? You don't care if they lied about their military rank, where they served?…. This is so crazy."

Rogan added, "You would get fired if you were an assistant manager at a f-----g oil change company."

In response, Hasan briefly mocked and ridiculed Rogan's comments.

Hasan tweeted, "Imagine pretending you voted for Trump because you were bothered by *checks notes* dishonesty. Lol."
