Rogan promoted the conspiracy theory that Epps was an “agent provocateur” for the feds, a baseless claim that has led to a defamation suit against Fox News.

    Let’s imagine an alternate scenario for a second. Let’s say there was a Black Lives Matter protest and they broadcast the same stuff that these guys did. “Come to the capital protest!” “It will be wild!” Etc. Then let’s say AOC got up there and said “lets march to the capital!”… Imagine this happened while Trump is in office… and you know for a FACT there would have been tanks in the street and attack helicopters in the air and solders with guns drawn before then even got close to the capital.

    The lack of response is how you know this was a Trump planned event. Only a fucking moron would not see the obvious.

      There was an actual black lives matter protest in Washington DC so your armchair fantasy doesn’t hold water.

        Was this the one where the police gased and hurt people? I think this was around the time Trump held the bible upside down for a photo op in front a church.

        Oh yes, I remember when BLM protesters broke into the Capitol Building while chanting, “hang Mike Pence,” stealing things and smearing shit on the walls.

        Oh wait, that was the people who hated BLM protesters.
