Rogan points out how Harris hypocritically supports the release of Britney Griner who is held in a Russian prison for bringing marijuana into the country, yet she sent thousands of people to jail for marijuana when she was a District Attorney.
Harris stated, “Russia continues its wrongful detention of Brittney Griner.” Griner pled guilty to the charges, and the Biden administration has reportedly weighed trading a notorious Russian terrorist in exchange for her.

Rogan said that during one of his shows, “That’s why the hypocrisy about the Brittney Griner situation was so egregious in this country,” Rogan said. “Where Kamala Harris is talking about how horrible it is that Brittney Griner is in jail. Well, [Harris] put people in jail. [Harris] did. Thousands of people are in jail for marijuana. Yeah, it’s crazy.”
Rogan addresses Joe Biden and Harris by saying, “How come you guys didn’t exonerate people that were in jail for marijuana when you said you were going to? They said that they were going to make marijuana federally legal.” “They said they were going to exonerate prisoners who were in jail for non-violent drug offenses. This is what they said. None of that has happened.”
More on this story via Daily Wire:
Harris faced backlash in early August after writing a statement that said that with Griner’s sentencing, “Russia continues its wrongful detention of Brittney Griner.” Griner pled guilty to the charges, and the Biden administration has reportedly weighed trading a notorious Russian terrorist in exchange for her.
Rogan took aim at Harris during an episode of his show “The Joe Rogan Experience” last week where he had NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers on as a guest.
Rogan continued by lambasting the Biden-Harris administration for not following through on apparent campaign promises involving drug offenses.
In February 2021, Biden said that he would support the decriminalization of marijuana and let states make their own laws regarding the drug. Biden has also promised to use his clemency powers to ease the sentences of certain non-violent drug offenders.
