Speaking on The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan said: “[Authorities have] arrested people for lighting forest fires up there.
The actor and presenter had suggested that “left-wing” offenders had been arrested for causing the forest fires which are currently raging across the country’s west coast.
The former NewsRadio star has faced criticism for his comments on a number of issues, from ADHD to trans rights.
Rogan, who has claimed his podcast is downloaded by 190 million people per month, conceded he had “f***ed up” in his claims that “people got arrested for lighting fires in Portland”.
