Joe Rogan Presses Trump on Proving Stolen Election Claim: ‘Are You Gonna Present This Ever?’
Former President Donald Trump sat for a three-hour interview with Joe Rogan on Friday, where the two had a chummy conversation in which the host largely agreed with his guest.
More than two hours into episode #2219 of The Joe Rogan Experience, the former president once again falsely claimed that the 2020 election was rigged against him when questioned about it by the host.
“I wanna talk about 2020 because you said over and over again that you were robbed in 2020,” Rogan said. “How do you think you were robbed?”
The question led to this exchange:
TRUMP: That election was so crooked, it was the most crooked election.
ROGAN: Ok, but give me some examples of how.
TRUMP: Well, let’s start, let’s start at the top and the easy ones. They were supposed to get legislative approval to do the things they did, and they didn’t get it in many cases, They didn’t get it.
ROGAN: What things?
TRUMP: Anything.
ROGAN: Legislative approval of?
TRUMP: Like for extensions of the voting, for voting earlier. All this different things By law, they had to get legislative approvals. You don’t have to go any further than that. If you take a look at Wisconsin, they virtually admitted that the election was rigged, robbed, and stolen. They wouldn’t give access in certain areas to the ballots because the ballots weren’t signed. They weren’t originals. They were– we could go into this stuff. We could go into the ballots, or we could go into the overall. I’ll give you another way.
ROGAN: Are you gonna present this ever?
TRUMP: Uh.
ROGAN: Do you think, like–
TRUMP: Let me give you just one more. Fifty-one intelligence agents come up that the laptop was from Russia. It turned out to be totally false.
The former president then pivoted to the Hunter Biden laptop story, which prompted 51 former U.S. intelligence officials to pen a letter claiming the story had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian disinformation operation” ahead of the 2020 election. The laptop turned out to be real. Trump went on to baselessly claim the doubt cast about the laptop swayed the election to President Joe Biden.
After losing the election, Trump sought to overturn the election in states he lost, unsuccessfully pressuring officials to subvert the election results in their respective states. As a result, the former president has been indicted on federal criminal charges in Washington, D.C., and on state criminal charges in Georgia. He has pleaded not guilty to all counts.
Trump’s interview with Rogan apparently went longer than the campaign was anticipating, as the former president was several hours late to a rally on Friday evening in Traverse City, Michigan. His tardiness prompted many of his fans to leave the rally in droves.
