WATCH: Joe Rogan shreds MSNBC for 'deceptively' editing clip showing him praise Kamala Harris

WASHINGTON, DC: Joe Rogan chastised MSNBC for "deceptively" editing an episode that appeared to show the well-known podcaster endorsing Democratic presidential contender Kamala Harris, when in fact, he was praising former congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard.

The host of 'The Joe Rogan Experience' refuted an internet rumor that he intended to sue the left-leaning cable news channel at the start of his show on Tuesday, August 27.

Joe Rogan is 'not suing MSNBC'

"I'm not suing MSNBC," Joe Rogan declared, adding that he had received a call from his stepfather following his apparent endorsement of the vice president in a headline.

“But this is what MSNBC did: They took a clip of me talking about Tulsi Gabbard and they edited it up and made it look like I was saying great things about Kamala Harris.”

In contrast, Rogan claimed that MSNBC "deceptively edited the things that I was saying," and "took it completely out of context" rather than using artificial intelligence to create the video.

MSNBC did a mashup of two separate Joe Rogan clips

According to Joe Rogan, MSNBC combined two different clips to make it appear like he's praising Tulsi Gabbard while simultaneously mentioning that Kamala Harris might win the 2024 presidential race, giving the impression that he was solely discussing the Democratic nominee.

Gabbard is a former congressman from Hawaii who defected from the Democratic Party to support former president Donald Trump.

“I was talking about Tulsi Gabbard being a congresswoman for eight years and about how she served overseas [as part of] two deployments in medical service dealing with people who were blown up by the war,” Rogan said, per the New York Post, adding, “That’s not something Kamala Harris did. That’s something Tulsi Gabbard did.”

MSNBC “put it out there as a clip of me praising Kamala Harris,” he added.

Joe Rogan says MSNBC doesn't care about the truth

“But they don’t care about the truth,” Joe Rogan said of MSNBC. “They just want a narrative to get out there amongst enough people because most people are just surface readers” who “read a headline” and say to themselves, “I got it now.”

The video Rogan was referring to has since been deleted by MSNBC, which added a disclaimer that read, “We have removed an earlier version of this post that incorrectly implied Joe Rogan was talking more about Vice President Kamala Harris. He was referring to Tulsi Gabbard.”

Tulsi Gabbard recently slammed MSNBC 

Tulsi Gabbard slammed MSNBC in an August 2 post on X (formerly Twitter), calling it “a propaganda machine for the Democrat Elite” that will “brazenly try to deceive the American people.”

Rogan commended Robert F Kennedy Jr's independent presidential campaign but declined to support Trump, which led to backlash from the former president's followers.

Kennedy, who withdrew from the presidential contest last week, endorsed Trump.

Internet asks Joe Rogan to sue MSNBC

Netizens bashed the new network and asked the popular podcaster to take legal action against the channel.

One X user tweeted, "He should sue MSNBC just to make a statement. They knew exactly what they were doing." Another added, "Mainstream media is the people's second biggest enemy."

"Why aren't you suing??? Do it. SUE THEM!!" remarked one, while someone else wrote, "I really dont understand why he is not suing them, thats why they keep doing it, because no one punishes them for it."
