During a recent episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast, host Joe Rogan and comedian Adam Ray discussed the upcoming election and the possibility of Vice President Kamala Harris winning. Rogan expressed concern that Harris could ride a wave of “gaslighting” created by the media to defeat former President Donald Trump.
Rogan pointed out the swift change in media coverage towards Trump when he entered the 2016 race. The same outlets that once praised him, now consistently criticize and attack him. This media manipulation, according to Rogan, is attempting to turn Trump into a “monster” and elevate Harris as the “future” and “hope” for America.
In the conversation, Rogan also brought up Harris’ claim that Trump once flew her in a helicopter during their time in California politics. However, she has never held a political position in California and the incident she described has been proven to be false. Rogan questioned the media’s response to Trump’s mistakes compared to Harris’, stating, “You know her mistakes? This is crazy. The gaslighting is nuts.”
Harris’ campaign has also come under fire for editing headlines and descriptions of news articles, reportedly paying for them to appear as sponsored ads on Google searches. This manipulation of information further perpetuates the gaslighting tactics used to shape public perception of Harris.
Rogan then shifted the conversation to the upcoming debates between Trump and Harris, expressing doubt that Harris would even agree to debate Trump. However, it was confirmed that both camps have agreed to a debate on September 10th, with Trump proposing additional debates on various networks.
Despite the negative media coverage and tactics employed by Harris’ campaign, Trump’s former adviser Kellyanne Conway, businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, and ex-White House aide Peter Navarro have urged him to focus on his policies and accomplishments rather than engaging in personal attacks. They believe this will help distinguish his campaign from Harris’ and ultimately lead to victory.
Rogan and Adam Ray’s discussion on the “gaslighting” tactics used by the media and Harris’ campaign should raise concerns for American voters. It is evident that Harris’ campaign is relying on media spin and manipulation to paint her as the better option for President. However, as Rogan and others have pointed out, Trump should focus on his proven policies and success in his first term rather than engaging in personal attacks. This will not only set him apart from Harris but also demonstrate his abilities as a leader for the American people.
