The UFC color commentator Joe Rogan is notorious for drawing criticism for his unrestrained political views. The 54-year-old doesn’t appear to be deterred by the criticism. He keeps using his right to free speech to discuss topics he finds interesting.

In one recent episode of ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ podcast, Rogan sat in conversation with the hosts of the free speech podcast: Francis Foster and Konstantin Kisin.

In the episode, the trio talked a lot about politics. Konstantin Kisin brought up the Biden-Ukraine conspiracy theory during their conversation. He also emphasized that, whether it be Trump or Biden, no one should tip the scale in favor of one group.

The UFC commentator then continued, stating that leftists were so troubled by former president Trump that they even wanted to break the law to thwart his success and strengthen Biden.

“That was the problem with Trump. It’s that he was so problematic to the people on the left. They were willing to break the rules in order to hamper him,” Rogan said. 

“And hamper his success in order to, you know, empower the Biden team. They wanted to withhold information that they thought would be a problem,” Rogan added. 

Rogan has never praised Joe Biden or Donald Trump. He has also confessed that he repeatedly turned down Trump wanting to appear on his podcast. Additionally, he has posted a number of Biden-related jokes on his Instagram page.

Joe Rogan draws criticism for his comments on a UFC champion

As aforementioned, the 54-year-old occasionally gets in trouble for his choice of words. Similarly, Rogan was recently under fans’ heat because of his comments on flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo.

After regaining his flyweight belt in a trilogy with Brandon Moreno at UFC 270, ‘Deus da Guerra’ claimed he was unfit for the quadrilogy because of an injury. Therefore, an interim-title bout was set between Moreno and Kai-Kara France in the meantime at UFC 277.
