Joe Rogan accused President Joe Biden of saying something really dumb when the president was actually referencing something former President Donald Trump said.
The controversial podcaster was then fact-checked, apparently by one of his own producers, on-camera.
In an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience released on Spotify Thursday, Rogan suggested Biden was mentally unfit for office.
Did you hear what he said yesterday, or a couple days ago? Rogan asked his guest, MMA fighter Bo Nickal, in an exchange first flagged by Mediaite . Hes talking about the Revolutionary War. Hes like, One of the reasons why we lost the Revolutionary War ... was that they didnt have enough airports.
If you were you at any other job, and you were talking like that, theyd go, Hey, youre done, he added.

Biden did say a version of that. Except it was back in 2020 , and he was saying it to criticize Trump, who mixed up his wars during a speech in 2019, suggesting that George Washingtons forces seized airports. (Airports did not exist when George Washington was alive. Trump later blamed the flub on a teleprompter issue).
The Associated Press published a fact check on the matter in 2021 after a deceptively edited clip of Bidens remarks went viral.

Rogan and his guest continued their discussion, but several minutes later, an off-camera voice chimed in to ask, Is this the video you were talking about?
A clip of Bidens speech played, and Rogan said, Yeah, thats it.
Just for the record, the person said, its not fake, but he was referencing Trump saying that.
Awkward.
Even more awkward? Seconds after making his false Biden assertion, Rogan had complained about the media gaslighting people.

Interestingly, after learning it was Trump who made the mistake, Rogan didnt seem to think it was such a big deal.
So, he fucked up, he said with a laugh.
