The podcaster and comic also took issue with every other declare within the e-book about Harris sending somebody to scout his Austin location. This, he said, never happened. Trump, alternatively, despatched somebody quickly and agreed to the first date Rogan supplied.

“In addition they mentioned that they sent any person down right here to the studio to do a walkthrough of the set. That’s not genuine. The Trump administration did,” he stated.

Rogan wired that Harris never actually agreed to the podcast. He said even when he “entertained” her team looking to convey him out to Washington, D.C., Rogan mentioned he could never get Harris’s group to actually inform him she agreed and even needed to do the podcast. He additionally took problem with them limiting the debate to 45 minutes to an hour.

“Nobody ever dedicated to doing it. This is in point of fact necessary because they keep pretending that I lied,” he stated.

Rogan argued there’s a wave of excuse-making in the intervening time as a result of individuals are looking to “cover their [asses]” in gentle of the non-Rogan interview being viewed by means of many critics as a misstep for Harris’s campaign.

“This whole idea that we fucked her over, and that we fucked her over for Trump — mistaken. Just not authentic,” Rogan stated. “But I think it’s somebody looking to cover their ass for the fact that she never did, and if she did do it, it will have had a positive impact.”
