Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump fantasized about podcaster and Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) announcer Joe Rogan being ‘BOOED’ at the next UFC event on Friday, one day after Rogan released an episode of his show in which he expressed his support for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

“It will be interesting to see how loudly Joe Rogan gets BOOED the next time he enters the UFC Ring??? MAGA2024,” wrote Trump on Truth Social Friday afternoon.

Speaking with YouTuber Sam Gymlan in the most recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan mused “That’s just what they do. That’s politics. They do it on the left, they do it on the right. They gaslight you, they manipulate you, they promote narratives, and the only one who is not doing that is Robert F. Kennedy Jr..”

“You a fan?” asked Gymlan.

“Yeah, I am a fan. He’s the only one that makes sense to me,” replied Rogan. “He’s the only one — he doesn’t attack people, he attacks actions and ideas, but he’s much more reasonable and intelligent. I mean, the guy was an environmental lawyer and he cleaned up the East River. He’s a legitimate guy.”

Later, on X, Rogan clarified that this didn’t constitute an endorsement of Kennedy.

“For the record, this isn’t an endorsement. This is me saying that I like RFKjr as a person, and I really appreciate the way he discusses things with civility and intelligence. I think we could use more of that in this world,” he wrote. “I also think Trump raising his fist and saying “fight!” after getting shot is one of the most American fucking things of all time. I’m not the guy to get political information from. If you want that from a comic, go to @ComicDaveSmith. He actually knows what he’s talking about.”
