California Governor Gavin Newsom has responded to criticism from comedian and podcast host Joe Rogan, who had called him a “cardboard cutout” during an interview.
Newsom fired back at Rogan on social media, saying he was too afraid to invite him onto his show. The governor also used the opportunity to criticize Rogan’s behavior, stating that he was not willing to engage in a respectful conversation with him.
Rogan had previously called Newsom a “con man” during an interview, which led to Newsom responding on Twitter.
