"It just came across to my husband and I that he was totally ignorant and he was advocating for substances that he had no idea about," she said.

"He's a role model, and he needs to act like one," she added.

What does "act like one" mean?

A role model, of course, is someone who has enough respect from others that they will follow his example. "Act like one", then, means he should be setting a better example than he does.
