He described a viral edit in which her expressions were matched with intense music, calling it strange.

Candace Owens posted directly on X and wrote, 'Oh no! Another commentator to send a cease and desist to for the stating the obvious fact that Erika’s behavior, demeanor, and history is bizarre. Ever wonder how Joe Rogan stays on top? Because his conversations reflect how everyday people feel about various topics.'

She explained that Rogan is popular because he says what many people are already thinking and, rather than criticizing him, she supported his right to speak openly.
