MargotSHarris You’re part of the problem.

Except it was true.

Strike 1. That contract will be terminated

I saw one video so far of someone lighting a fire and walking away while someone filmed.

Sorry business insider, but Joe is correct, there has been arrests made, on extreme leftists

Wake the ffff up. It was arson in Oregon. Now was it antifa, Not sure. Locals, including citizens and police, fire workers, all saw the same thing. Plenty of stories that were not picked up but the news. Some witnesses first hand by family members or mine and close friends.

I used to like Joe but noticed he was going right and was like...yeah...nah...bye

This didn’t make me like him more.

I see your got your orders to write this. Joe was right.

You simpletons are proving why nobody should apologize, it’s never good enough. We get it, you are all jealous.

100 million dollars is enough to make a man eat his words - even if begrudgingly.

He has become so arrogant and has lost a fan in me. Nxa!

He said 'activists' setting fires though only 1 who was arrested was clearly connected with BLM. There is still a growing list of people being arrested for arson though, who could easily simply be paid off bums by BLM or Antifa.

He's a good guy - people need to suck frozen turds into spikes and stab themselves in the eyes

I've seen this guy's name on twitter, but really had no idea who he was or what he does. I got him confused with the Girls Gone Wild guy. Who is he and why does anyone care what he says?

I watched a few of his vids right up until he got into a conversation about the stock market. Fun talk... but he doesn’t know anything about the topic. I figure the same applies to his other conversations and haven’t watched since.

Time for him to go!

Headline should be “Spotify obligated Rogan to apologize”

Not good enough!! Cancel cancel cancel cancel!!! 😂 /sarcasm

He didn't apologize on his podcast where he lied though. Too bad, thought he was better than that.

Stop all the lying, especially Trump and his followers.
