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. “What dumb shit were you about to do when my stupid idea sounded better? ‘You know that dude who made people eat animal dicks on TV? How does he feel about medicine?’ If you want my advice, don’t take my advice.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 20. “If you’re taking vaccine advice from me, is that really my fault?” he asked. “But it’s kind of weird people will get really mad if you use that word and tweet about it on a phone that’s made by slaves.”Įlsewhere in the set, Rogan seemed to defend his role in the controversy around vaccine misinformation on his podcast, saying he “talk shit for a living”. “I haven’t used that word in years,” he continued. “I put my cursor over the video and I’m like, ‘ Four more minutes?!'”
“Even to me! I’m me and I’m watching it saying, ‘Stop saying it!’ Rogan told the crowd. During that set, he discussed the video, saying that even he deemed the clips “racist as fuck” while watching it. The following evening, Rogan returned to the stage for a stand-up set in Austin, Texas. His first addressal came on Monday’s (February 7) episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, where he described the backlash against his use of the racial slur as “a political hitjob” while speaking to his guest, comedian Akaash Singh.ĭetractors, he said, were “taking all the stuff I’ve ever said that’s wrong and smushing it all together”, adding that it forced him to “address some stuff that I really wish wasn’t out there”.
This week, Rogan has addressed the criticism again.
