In a recent episode of his podcast, Joe Rogan disclosed that the team representing Vice President Kamala Harris preferred not to cover the topic of marijuana legalization in a possible interview.
Rogan mentioned that the Harris campaign had multiple discussions about scheduling the interview, but it ultimately did not happen.
“They had, I don’t know how many conversations with my folks, but multiple conversations giving different dates, different times, different this, different that, and we knew that she was going to be in Texas, so I said, ‘open invitation,'” Rogan said. “I think they had requirements on things that she didn’t want to talk about, she didn’t want to talk about marijuana legalization, which I thought was hilarious.”
“Because of her prosecuting record,” Rogan said. “She put a lot of people in jail for weed.”
“There were a few restrictions of things they didn’t want to talk about, but I said, ‘I don’t give a f—, get her in here.’ Like, whatever you want to talk about,” he said.
He speculated that Harris wanted to steer clear of the topic due to her past record of prosecuting marijuana offenses.
Rogan expressed interest in having her on the show and criticized her as a “bad candidate,” suggesting that she struggles in unscripted situations.
“I don’t know if she’s good at running things because you’d have to be behind the scenes to see how that works, but when it comes to talking off the top of her head, what she’s good at is a pre-rehearsed speech that she reads off a teleprompter. Pretty solid,” he said.
