Spotify’s Joe Rogan has repeatedly spread the baseless conspiracy theory that January 6 was a false flag orchestrated by the FBI

Rogan makes money for Spotify by spreading lies, hate, and disinformation:

Spotify’s Joe Rogan has repeatedly and baselessly claimed that the January 6 insurrection was fueled in part by FBI agents acting as so-called “agent provocateurs” who were “in the audience calling for people to go into the Capitol.” Rogan promoted this conspiracy theory at least five times in the past year on his Spotify-exclusive podcast, which was the most popular podcast on the platform in 2020 and 2021.

There is no evidence to support the conspiracy theory that the attack on the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, was incited by FBI agents. These baseless claims originated with the right-wing group Stop Hate, which has ties to the violent far-right group the Proud Boys and the “Stop the Steal” campaign that helped incite the insurrection.
