The Rock is just one who took back his praise, and there was plenty of other criticism, as well. Despite all the backlash though, Spotify has defended the embattled host, and won\u2019t be removing his show from the platform. Political hit job or not, it doesn\u2019t seem Rogan is going anywhere anytime soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
