AUSTIN, TEXAS: Podcaster Joe Rogan insisted Vice President and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris "crushed it" at her rally speech in Atlanta on August 30, during a recent episode of his show, 'The Joe Rogan Experience,' the Daily Mail reported.

The episode featured actor and comic Adam Ray as a guest, and the pair were discussing how a debate between Harris and former President Donald Trump would go down when the host shared his take on the Vice President's "banger of a speech" last month.

Trump, who has reportedly been hesitant to commit to a debate against Harris after she replaced incumbent President Joe Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket, may face a "problem" going up against the latter in such form, believed Rogan.

Joe Rogan's comments on Kamala Harris' speech

"I do have to say that one speech she gave right after they decided she was going to be the nominee, that one speech where she said, 'If you're going to say something, why don't you say it to my face?' It was great timing," Rogan told Ray on his podcast, before pulling up a clip of Harris from the rally.

Harris was seen in the video saying, "I do hope you'll reconsider to meet me on the debate stage because as the saying goes, if you got something to say, say it to my face!" following which the host praised her timing and delivery.



 

"You can't say that's not outstanding. She just crushed it. She crushed it," he said. "She had the big moment and she crushed it. She did it without any ums or stammers, no fucking missed words, she had a smile, the laugh made sense — it made sense there for the first time!"

Rogan also shared his concern for the Trump campaign, stating that it was unlikely that they expected such a challenge coming their way.

"What she did was like a pro. She did that like a pro. That's where it gets dangerous. She f**king nailed it," he added.



 

Trump supporters slam Joe Rogan for his take

Social media users especially Trump supporters reacting to Rogan's comments on the Daily Mail website slammed the podcaster for praising Harris' speech and upholding her as a strong challenger to the GOP nominee. The following examples demonstrate their take.

"Kamala didn't nail anything. A scripted speech means nothing when you have nothing to back it up," wrote a person.

"Nothing she says can be trusted. Nothing she does will benefit the US citizen. She is controlled by her handlers," stated another.

"We know he’s only in it for the money maker, he could care less who he actually votes for," a third quipped of Rogan.

"I thought he was authentic but looks like he plays both sides depending on who he thinks has an edge; another Phony," jibed a fourth.

"Every so often, someone seems to back a dump truck full of cash into Joe's backyard. There's not much explanation for what he says on these occasions," chided a fifth.

"Never found this guy to be particularly intelligent of thoughtful; he acts more like an immature teenager," commented yet another.
