Newsom says Rogan ‘too chicken’ for podcast invitation
Newsom said Rogan was too chicken to have him on the podcast after the host called him a cardboard cutout of a person.
- On Friday, California Governor Gavin Newsom's press office challenged podcaster Joe Rogan to appear on his show, calling him "too chicken" and a "little guy" while declaring Rogan "relegated to irrelevancy."
- Rogan has long criticized Newsom, calling him a "stone cold, narrative-driven politician" and "cardboard cutout of a person" in resurfaced clips; the podcaster moved from California to Texas in 2020 over what he called "draconian" COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
- Newsom has long complained that Rogan allows others to attack him while refusing to give him a platform, citing the podcast's massive reach as reason for the public confrontation.
- Newsom's aggressive social media approach mimics President Donald Trump's blunt style, marking a strategic shift in the governor's national messaging as he prepares for a potential 2028 presidential campaign.
- This exchange reflects a polarized media environment where political figures increasingly target independent platforms. Rogan, who endorsed Trump in 2024 and recently visited the Oval Office, remains influential in national discourse.
