Podcaster Joe Rogan says he has proof that Kamala Harris’s team is lying about his alleged efforts to sabotage an interview during the presidential election.
In the wake of her crushing defeat to President Donald Trump, the Harris team has claimed Rogan blocked an interview with the Democrat candidate.
However, Rogan says it was Harris who was being difficult, and he has evidence to prove it.
“They never agreed to do the show, this is really important,” Rogan said.
“We have all the receipts, by the way.
“I have a whole list of conversations that took place,” he said.
In a recent episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” the host said Harris’s team was non-committal about sitting down.
The Harris campaign also expressed hesitancy about doing an interview unedited.
It’s doubtful that the unstructured, spontaneous format of Rogan’s podcast would have benefited Harris.
Harris often delivered “word salad” responses on the campaign trail.
“They were really concerned that it wasn’t going to be edited,” Rogan said.
Indeed, Harris’s team wanted a stenographer and staff member to sit in on Rogan’s show, which is known for its relaxed atmosphere.
Rogan said he is convinced Harris never actually wanted to talk.
“I don’t think they ever really were sure they wanted to do it,” Rogan said.
“I think we would have had fun,” he added.
In the wake of her crushing election defeat, members of Harris’s team have expressed outrage about Rogan’s supposed failure to be more flexible.
They are accusing him of throwing up obstacles as they allegedly attempted to negotiate a date.
The claims were fed to NBC reporter Jonathan Allen and Amie Barnes of The Hill in their book “Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House.”
“The vice president of the United States is offering to come to your f‑‑‑ing show, and you keep putting up more hoops,” Harris’ deputy campaign manager Rob Flaherty told the journalists.
According to Rogan, the book’s authors never contacted him to verify the story.
Meanwhile, Rogan has said that the reason he interviewed Trump and not Harris, is that the former VP was evasive.
Meanwhile, President Trump was “easy” to negotiate with.
“They never said she was going to do it so this whole idea that we f***d her over for Trump – incorrect. Just not true,” he said.
“I think it’s someone trying to cover their a**.”
“Trump was really easy to book.
“We offered one day, he said yes, that was it.”
Trump’s long, free-wheeling chat with Rogan has been credited with boosting the president’s appeal with young male voters who swung to the Right.
While Trump made casual conversation with numerous podcasts, Harris stuck largely to conventional softball interviews with mainstream media.
Under pressure from Trump, CBS News has released the full transcript of Harris’s “60 Minutes” interview.
The interview was heavily edited to make Harris sound more concise.
