Joe Rogan lashed out at Twitter, Facebook, and news media organizations for their handling of revelations about a laptop that purportedly belonged to Hunter Biden.
During an interview with InfoWars founder Alex Jones and stand-up comic Tim Dillon on his podcast The Joe Rogan Experience, the Ultimate Fighting Competition commentator defended the reporting by the New York Post, which broke the story two weeks ago, on computer materials about foreign business dealings that suggest the involvement of Hunter Biden's father, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
"The Post, what they printed and put out there, is accurate," Rogan said.
The emails came from a laptop and hard drive that Hunter Biden appears to have left at a computer repair shop in Delaware. Twitter and Facebook cracked down and restricted posts of the New York Post's early reports, and because the outlet refuses to delete some of those tweets, its Twitter account remains suspended 13 days later. The heads of both companies are set to testify before Congress on Wednesday.
Biden has denied any involvement in family business ventures overseas. However, neither Biden nor his son have denied the authenticity of the data from the laptop.
Jones, who has long pushed conspiracy theories on InfoWars and has been removed from almost every major social media platform, argued the laptop materials are legitimate.
"They have the receipts," Jones said of the Delaware repair shop, whose owner handed the materials to the FBI before handing a copy over to former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who is President Trump's personal lawyer, who then shared the contents with the New York Post.
Last week, it was revealed that Giuliani is featured in a scene in prankster Sacha Barron Cohen's Borat movie sequel in which he reached into his pants in the presence of the character's fictional underage daughter before the actor burst into the hotel room where they had been doing an interview. Giuliani released a statement saying he was tucking in his shirt after taking off recording equipment and to imply anything inappropriate was going on makes Cohen "a stone-cold liar."
Rogan said the clip appealed to his juvenile sense of humor but did not show the scene in its entirety.
