Joe Rogan’s unflinching response to the vice president’s podcast criteria left her supporters laughably gaslighting over “diva behavior.”
As was the case prior to her one and only debate with former President Donald Trump, apparent apprehension found Vice President Kamala Harris attempting to establish the terms for her to agree to sit down for “The Joe Rogan Experience.”
However, her pitch to trim the conversation down to an hour at the site of her choosing has thus far proved out of the question for the host offering the White House hopeful his massive platform, prompting coping and projection from social media sycophants.
The co-founder of YIMBYs (Yes in my backyard) for Harris, Armand Domalewski, reacted to an update from Rogan on X writing, “Genuinely dude she is the Vice President of the United States and you are a podcaster. this is absolute diva behavior.”
Having previously made clear that he’d extended the same offer to the Democratic Party nominee as he had to Trump, the host noted Monday, “Also, for the record the Harris campaign has not passed on doing the podcast. They offered a date for Tuesday, but I would have to travel to her and they only wanted to do an hour. I strongly feel the best way to do it is in the studio in Austin. My sincere wish is to just have a nice conversation and get to know her as a human being. I really hope we can make it happen.”

Similarly, retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman lambasted Rogan for not kowtowing to the whims of Harris, seen by many as terms laid out to contrive an excuse for the vice president to avoid further potentially damaging exposure.
“So the sitting Vice President and likely the next President of the United States should fly over to see you? …Respect for the office of VP as well as the fact that she has a competitive race to run, suggests you get your a** on a plane and talk to her wherever see [sic] is,” he wrote.

Differing some from Vindman, Domalewski continued, “This isn’t primarily a question of stature, its a question of time allocation–a Presidential candidate 6 days out has an insanely constrained schedule and a podcaster can quite obviously be more flexible.”
“I still think Kamala should go on Rogan, despite him being a diva about this, but good lord how entitled do you have to be to not be even a tiny bit flexible for someone who could likely be the next POTUS in the last week of the election!”

The barest scrutiny was necessary to watch the arguments crumble as, not only had Harris accommodated the likes of Howard Stern, “The View,” Stephen Colbert, and other softball interviews with imprints a fraction of the size of Rogan’s, but her supposedly constrained schedule at present didn’t excuse away the ample time she had in weeks past, particularly when she’d been in Texas the same day as Trump — whose running mate Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance had made time to appear with Rogan.
She can do the podcast, or she can choose not to. Everyone does it in his studio, she has a plane. She went to Howard Stern’s studio, Call Her Daddy’s studio, Steve Colbert’s studio. She is hiding because she is afraid of a conversation that will show her lack of intelligence.

She was in Texas just days ago. Rogan doesn’t owe her a damned thing.

You know she has flown to other podcasts right?
Much smaller ones than this one. We know you know that.

The whole concept of the show is 3 hour convos. She needs him not the other way around.

Diva behavior to…ask her to do the same thing her opponent did?

Her insanely busy schedule involves doing jack shit until 7:30 this evening. https://t.co/bpAz12BE3i pic.twitter.com/H4lr3TZlUY

Respect is earned. You cannot demand it. And Kamala works for the people, they don’t work for her.
If she wants to go on @joerogan‘s podcast she should get her ass on a plane and go to the studio. That’s how his podcast is done.
Trump did it, and he’s a lot busier than she is.

She’s the one who NEEDS his audience. If she wants the 60M+ views the Trump interview has likely garnered, she should get on a plane and head to Austin.
Thanks to @joerogan for not compromising the values and integrity of his program.
