<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mike-rowe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Rowe</a> easily handled CNN during an interview about the possibility that he could join Robert F. Kennedy Jr.&#8217;s independent presidential ticket.
The &#8220;Dirty Jobs&#8221; host recently sat down with <a href="https://x.com/B7grWinning/status/1768541177941238052?s=20">CNN</a> anchor Erin Burnett, where he confirmed that he was on RFK Jr.&#8217;s list of potential vice presidential candidates, the <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/03/15/us-news/dirty-jobs-host-mike-rowe-confirms-rfk-jr-called-him-about-vp-role/">New York Post</a> reported.
&#8220;Actually, I ran into him about six months ago in Dallas, totally serendipitously, and we exchanged information and he reached out about a month ago,&#8221; Rowe said.
&#8220;At some point, he asked me if I would ever consider running for public office, and I spit my coffee back into my cup and I said, &#8216;Seriously?'&#8221; he added, noting the &#8220;serious conversation&#8221; the two had.
But when the interview turned to others RFK Jr. had picked for VP like New York Jets QB <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rfk-defends-possible-vp-choice-aaron-rodgers-hes-been-hammered-by-the-press" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Aaron Rodgers</a> — whose past comments have caused headlines — Rowe showed his media skills.

I have to say that Mike Rowe is a real class act. <a href="https://twitter.com/CNN?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CNN</a> tried desperately to drag him into childish divisive discourse, and he stayed above it. He handled this interview like a real adult, and that&#8217;s not something you see very much these days in US politics.<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Kennedy24?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Kennedy24</a> <a href="https://t.co/RMXtRIOGc2">pic.twitter.com/RMXtRIOGc2</a>

&#8220;I think he [Rodgers] has a right to articulate whatever he wants,&#8221; Rowe told CNN. &#8220;And we have a right to respond however we want. I have no idea what the man actually said … I don&#8217;t know what qualifies or disqualifies a person running for anything.&#8221;
&#8220;You know somebody said to me the other day … how the hell are you qualified to do this [be his VP] and I started to explain how she was right and how I wasn&#8217;t,&#8221; he added. &#8220;And you know Bobby said something to me, he said, &#8216;there&#8217;s so many skeletons in my closet if you really open it up and give it a look and if they could all vote I&#8217;d be king of the world.'&#8221;
&#8220;You could probably find stupid stuff that anybody said, but what really qualifies a man or a woman to run for president or vice president? I think you got to be 35. I think you have to be born in this country.&#8221; Rowe continued. &#8220;After that I don&#8217;t know about qualifications …Personally I stopped watching football after the Colts left Baltimore and so I don’t know how much use I can be on that.&#8221;
It was clear that Burnett hadn&#8217;t anticipated his response, and the way he handled the interview was <a href="https://twitchy.com/justmindy/2024/03/15/mike-rowe-cnn-interview-n2394035">something</a> he was praised for by many.
&#8220;I have to say that Mike Rowe is a real class act. [CNN] tried desperately to drag him into childish divisive discourse, and he stayed above it,&#8221; one person wrote. &#8220;He handled this interview like a real adult, and that&#8217;s not something you see very much these days in US politics.&#8221;
Another <a href="https://twitter.com/f1fan6735/status/1768786993272533230">added</a>, &#8220;Mike was talking for about 10 seconds and she stopped listening, reloading for the next question. He could have talked about the 7 dwarfs being rapists and she wouldn&#8217;t have bothered following up.&#8221;
While a third <a href="https://twitter.com/syd_viciously/status/1768755970602344571">wrote</a> sarcastically, &#8220;Please, CNN, please start a fight with the guy who literally had a show focused on blue collar workers. It&#8217;s a winning strategy.&#8221;
