Both sources describe Rogan’s remarks as aimed at dismissing what he presents as attempts to frame the event as politicized, while emphasizing that he views it as patriotic rather than aligned with any particular side. The coverage focuses on the comments Rogan makes on-air rather than on any specific policy or administrative decision related to the event.
