Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh returned to the airwaves Monday to hit back at critics who slammed him for saying concerns about Hurricane Irma were intended to advance political arguments for accepting climate change.

“This is all over the place that I told people there is no storm. That I told people you don’t have to run away from Florida, you do not have to evacuate, because I said the storm isn’t coming,” he said on “The Rush Limbaugh Show” Monday. “I did not say that.”
