JR gives her the same exact guidelines as everyone else
Kamala and her team throws a tantrum, they MUST be allowed to have their guys in there with her, and JR MUST fly himself to them instead, plus a bunch of other rules and guidelines to make it as easy as possible on her, borderlining on wanting teleprompters and scripts and shit
JR says no
Kamala's team, instead of finding a middle ground or negotiating at all, decides to spin it as "JRE WONT LET HER TALK, HE SAID NO"
left-media rolls with that for a bit but it doesn't take much traction because it's an outright lie
they spin further to try to win this "argument" by saying Kamala's too busy to fly over there, and that she doesn't find the value in going on the podcast
Joe Rogan, probably a bit miffed at this point about how childish she's being, publicly endorses Trump to his 60m+ followers
Kamala's team throws another tantrum and goes off to flop in a few more rallies instead
Man, imagine if she went on there and WAS good at debating, or had talked about different policies she wants to do, or ended up being well-spoken without a script to follow, she would've gotten a ton of free votes and publicity out of that, but nope, had to whine like a baby about not having full control and now she's like 90 electors behind Trump and lost ALL swing states.
At this point I'm convinced she would've fucked up the podcast anyway, left partway through it, then sued JR for... uh, libel or slander or something.
