Joe Rogan denies endorsing RFK Jr. for president, says he only meant to say he likes him 'as a person’

Podcast host Joe Rogan clarified that his recent comments praising Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as a presidential candidate were not an endorsement.

After saying the independent 2024 presidential candidate is the "only one that makes sense to me," the host of the "The Joe Rogan Experience" posted on X Friday that the comments weren’t meant to be taken as an official endorsement, but only his opinion on how much he likes RFK Jr.

"For the record, this isn’t an endorsement. This is me saying that I like RFKjr as a person, and I really appreciate the way he discusses things with civility and intelligence," Rogan wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Rogan’s post tried to stem the controversy generated by the earlier statements he made during his show. During his podcast, Rogan called out what he believes is 'dirty politics" being played by both Democrats and Republicans in the 2024 campaign.

"That's politics. They do it on the left. They do it on the right. They gaslight you, they manipulate you. They promote narratives," Rogan said.

He then praised RFK for being "the only" candidate that doesn’t engage in those tactics.

Rogan’s comments went viral and took heat from pro-Trump circles on social media that condemned him for endorsing RFK over former President Trump.

Even Trump himself blasted the podcast host and UFC commentator on his platform, Truth Social, writing, "It will be interesting
