Tulsi Gabbard continues to support Joe Rogan
Tulsi Gabbard has once again voiced her support for Joe Rogan amid the UFC commentator’s recent spate of controversy.
The former Democratic presidential candidate, who said she considers Rogan “a good friend”, was asked for her thoughts on the podcaster’s issues. Gabbard told MMA Junkie:
“I got to know Joe, I consider him a good friend. He’s like the nicest, most generous guy and I think he did the right thing in addressing these issues that came up. very directly, very honestly and that he was very willing to admit how he can be better and apologize I think that’s what we would really hope to get from anyone, and I think not only many of the kind of corporate response has been, but also frankly the White House inserting itself to try and cancel Joe Rogan points to the biggest problem, which is really the attempts by the power elite trying to silence and cancel people who dare to question the establishment narrative, who maybe dare to have a different point of view.”
Gabbard, who appeared twice on the now controversial show Joe Rogan Experience podcast, added that she completely understands Rogan’s situation. She added:
“That response: trying to cancel people, silence them and smear their character is the age-old tactic. I’ve been on the receiving end of it, so I know exactly what it does. And it’s so dangerous because it undermines freedom of speech in America.”
