Podcaster Joe Rogan has expressed his support for independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. during his show “The Joe Rogan Experience” on Thursday.
Rogan, a prominent online figure, stated that he prefers Kennedy over the candidates from the major political parties, citing dissatisfaction with both Democrats and Republicans.
Rogan criticised both parties for what he sees as a manipulation of democratic norms, saying, “They gaslight you, they manipulate you, they promote narratives, and the only one who is not doing that is Robert F. Kennedy Jr.”
He further expressed his admiration for Kennedy, calling him “the only one that makes sense” and praising his focus on actions and ideas rather than personal attacks.
Rogan highlighted Kennedy’s background as an environmental lawyer, noting his efforts to clean up the East River as evidence of his legitimacy as a candidate.
Both Rogan and Kennedy have previously expressed skepticism about vaccines, particularly the COVID-19 vaccine, and have been associated with spreading conspiracy theories about its efficacy.
Rogan’s endorsement is one of the most high-profile for Kennedy, adding a significant voice to his independent campaign.
