Steve Bannon came out swinging against Joe Rogan for his comments about never wanting to have former President Donald Trump on his top-rated podcast.
Mr. Bannon, a former White House strategist in the Trump administration, said the former president doesn’t need Mr. Rogan’s platform or the “low-information voters” who make up the audience for “The Joe Rogan Experience,” according to the Daily Beast.
“Trump deals with high-information people. Your audience couldn’t handle ‘War Room’ — couldn’t follow it,” Mr. Bannon said, referencing his own podcast.
The Daily Beast also reported that Mr. Bannon accused Mr. Rogan of “taking the hundred million dollars of blood money” from audio streaming platform Spotify.
