Rogan hits media 'gaslighting' about Biden's mental acuity: 'How can I trust you?'
Rogan mocked a recent piece from the LA Times arguing 'Biden’s age is his superpower'
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Podcaster Joe Rogan mocked the media and politicians for defending President Biden's mental acuity even when he can be seen making conspicuous gaffes.
Many of Biden's allies have rushed to defend the commander in chief following the release of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report on classified documents that characterized Biden as an "elderly man with a poor memory."
"There’s enough gaslighting out there now where you can say wild s--t, absolutely wild s--t," Rogan said in an interview on Tuesday, recalling California Gov. Gavin Newsom enthusiastically defending Biden in a recent interview.

"Everyone’s so terrified of Trump being president they’re like, ‘Blah blah blah I don’t hear anything! I don’t see anything!’ They can’t say anything, it’s nuts,’" he said.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Rogan argued "there’s too many people" out there that can "see this gaslighting."
The podcaster said their mentality is like, "You’re gaslighting me about something that is so in my face, how can I trust you about what’s going on in Ukraine? How can I trust you about Yemen and Syria? How can I trust you about Gaza? How can I trust you about the Nord Stream pipeline? How can I trust you, if you won’t tell me that you think something’s up right here, this thing that’s right in front of our face?"
Rogan then slammed a recent opinion piece in the Los Angeles Times titled, "Age matters. Which is why Biden’s age is his superpower."

Rogan said his reply to such rhetoric is, "Hey, I’m right here! F--- off! F--- off with this, you’re talking crazy!"
As he praised Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. later in the podcast, he contrasted him with Biden: "I don’t think Joe Biden is even capable of having a debate at this point, he can't even keep track of what he's talking about, he's talking about people that have been dead for years, mistaking names, he fumbles in the middle of sentences, he forgets what he's talking about and says he’s being told to wrap it up, so look, it’s embarrassing."

Rogan went on to argue, "It’s elder abuse, also. If that was my dad, and they were forcing my dad to do that, I’d be like ‘leave him the f--- alone, he’s 80 years old.’ The guy should be chilling somewhere, he should be relaxing in a zero-stress position."
