Rogan has been taking some heat for recent comments he made in a recent interview regarding Epstein.
In a conversation with former State Department employee Mike Benz, Rogan claimed Epstein "brought in a lot of intellectuals, stimulating conversations, scientists, all these very interesting people," which "was the draw" of him.
Benz similarly stated Epstein "became an important person to know in the network" due to the fact that he hosted the "coolest parties on a private island with the hottest girls."
"Basically, every male has a desire for attractive women. Not saying underage, obviously," Benz added.
Reddit users went at Rogan over the comments for what they deemed as him "defending" Epstein.
"Guys, it’s okay to traffic adult women, if it’s for a really cool party," one person claimed.
"This is by far the lowest Joe has ever gone," another added.
