Rocky Gerung was reportedly related to hate speech to President Joko Widodo some time ago. Ramadhan added that investigators from the Directorate of General Crimes (Dittipidum) Bareskrim Polri who handled this case continued because there were considerations.

Previously, Representative of the Legal Aid and Advocacy Agency Team of the People or BBHAR DPP PDI Perjuangan (PDIP) Johannes handlin L. Tobing admitted that he would withdraw the report against Rocky Gerung at Bareskrim Polri According to him, Rocky Gerung's statement regarding President Jokowi was true. "I decided to withdraw the report, what was conveyed by Rocky Gerung, I thought it would be true for a long time. After I weigh it clearly, recently I saw that President Jokowi had changed," Johannes said when confirmed, Tuesday, November 28, 2023. Johannes assessed that this time Jokowi led the country no longer for the benefit of the people. He accused Jokowi's leadership of being more to fulfill his personal and family interests. "Especially after seeing the chairman of the Constitutional Court, it was proven that Uncle Usman (Anwar Usman) was dismissed from the chairman of the Constitutional Court. Before long, Gibran's son ran to become a vice presidential candidate. This is beyond my common sense as an anti-law violation. Breaking the law, defending every way for the ambition to rule," he said. The Rocky Gerung case has gone up to the investigation stage. The police found a criminal element committed by Rocky Gerung. However, investigators from the Dittipidum Bareskrim Polri have not yet named a suspect.

In the forum, Rocky criticized President Joko Widodo (Jokowi)'s move to go to China and offered to invest in IKN.

"Jokowi's ambition is to maintain his legacy. He is still going to China to offer IKN. He is still pacing from one coalition to another. To find clarity on his fate. He thinks about his own destiny, he doesn't think about our fate. It's a stupid guy," said Rocky in the video.
