The podcaster and comedian lashed out Tuesday at the liberal cable news network for “deceptively editing” a clip that he said made it look like he was praising Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee.
In fact, Rogan said he was actually speaking highly of former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard.
The host said his stepfather contacted him recently to say he was happy Rogan was suing MSNBC.
“I’m not suing MSNBC,” Rogan clarified, “but this is what MSNBC did: They took a clip of me talking about Tulsi Gabbard and they edited it up and made it look like I was saying great things about Kamala Harris.”

MSNBC issued a correction for the TikTok video that earlier claimed Rogan thought Harris would win the presidency.
“We have removed an earlier version of this post that incorrectly implied Joe Rogan was talking more about Vice President Kamala Harris. He was referring to Tulsi Gabbard,” MSNBC stated in an update to the video first shared Aug. 2.
Rogan explained what happened could not be blamed on an artificial intelligence program.
“They didn’t do it like AI, they just deceptively edited the things that I was saying, took it completely out of context where I was talking about … Tulsi Gabbard and then I was talking about the media behind Kamala Harris, all this surge and all these people deciding that she’s good, she could win and they put the two of those together and made it seem like I was praising Kamala Harris and saying a bunch of things that aren’t even true about her.”

“MSNBC is again EXPOSED as a propaganda machine for the Democrat Elite, and how they will brazenly try to deceive the American people,” she wrote.
“One part of the video @joerogan was talking about Kamala; on another part of the video, he was talking about me. MSNBC combined it together to make it look like everything said was about Kamala and that he was endorsing her. Of course this is completely false.”
