(Headline USA) Podcast host Joe Rogan said this week that he believes the 2020 presidential election was “rigged” by the corporate media, which heavily favored President Joe Biden over former President Donald Trump.
During a July 4 episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, the popular UFC commentator discussed the election with comedian Tom Segura. They referred to controversial remarks recently made by Roseanne Barr on Theo Von’s recent This Past Weekend podcast that caused it to get taken down from YouTube.
Barr had questioned how Biden won fairly with “the most votes of any presidential candidate in history,” while also winning a record-low number of counties.
Rogan said he is not convinced that voting machines and absentee ballots were rigged in Biden’s favor, but he did admit that some level of fraud is a certainty in every election.
“I don’t know if there was some shenanigans with the election. I guarantee you it wasn’t zero percent,” said Rogan. “How much voter fraud was there? It’s never zero.”
Rogan also cited a recent security assessment of Georgia’s Dominion voting machines, which found “dangerous vulnerabilities” with the machines’ software.
Still, Rogan argued that it is less likely the election was steered one way or the other by rogue actors, and more likely that it was “for sure rigged by the media.”
“Just the Hunter Biden laptop case and the Russia collusion case — just those two things, just those two narratives that they knew were not true, that they pushed out in front of everybody and that we know … had to do with trying to get rid of Trump,” he explained.
The media intentionally manipulated the “public narrative” to steer voters away from Trump, Rogan continued.
“That is, in many ways … that’s manipulation. It’s manipulation of what the people think is real and not real,” said Rogan. “Everybody thought he was in collusion with Russia. It’s what everybody thought.”
