You’ll never guess who sabotaged Harris’ appearance on Rogan podcast


According to an excerpt from the forthcoming book by reporters Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes, the Harris campaign tried to secure an interview but were usurped by Rogan and his GOP allies—including tech billionaire Elon Musk.

were blaming Harris for not doing an interview. I wonder if they will retract their statements now?

People talk about Musk buying Twitter, Trump, and the US election

They don't talk about Peter Thiel buying people like JD Vance and Joe Rogan

Absolutely it was never going to happen. They were stringing VP Kamala Harris' people along the whole time. Getting them to waste valuable time and resources.

The TV show Quantico had a villain named Peter Theo loosely based on Peter Thiel.

That was back in 2017 and now were dealing with the culmination of all this crap thanks in part to useful idiots like Joe Rogan playing their roles.

and I'm not just talking about political media but a lot of places where it's not outwardly about politics/govt but they discuss cultural things and push right wing bs. A lot of times they do this without mentioning politics or govt. It's about getting a certain view out there.

I've watched some health and art media change from pretty much non-political to right wing BS since Chump came on the scene.

It's very disturbing to see pretty intelligent people not have a clue what's going on and how they're repeating lies and basically FF propaganda.
