Joe Rogan claims former US presidents ‘threw a lot of money’ at Spotify to remove his podcast

Joe Rogan has claimed that multiple former US presidents “threw a lot of money” at Spotify to remove his hit podcast over accusations he was spreading misinformation about the COVID-19 vaccine. Rogan, 58, made the remarks while speaking with behavior expert Chase Hughes during a discussion about social media and influence on Wednesday’s episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience.”

“I’m not kissing your ass here, but you’re willing to say s–t that sounds preposterous at the beginning of something, and just make an observation that’s real,” Hughes told Rogan.

Rogan described the pushback he faced during that period, claiming, “They tried to crush my sponsors. They organized campaigns. There was PACs [political action committees] involved.” “Thank God I was on Spotify. And thank God Spotify is not an American company,” he added. “And also it helped that I was number one in, like, 90 countries and not number 90 in one country, you know? That helped. That helped a lot.”

moviefan8 fan is one of the rat trolls who are squatting on FR. There are 10-12 who post every day. They love to pull from Reuters, The Guardian and others to spread the propaganda.

Its not a huge claim at all.

80% of Twitter employees were employed as censors and there were 400 FBI/CIA agents on loan from the agencies at Twitter

Fauci the CDC and the NIH had a "rapid reaction" propaganda unit suppress non-approved covid messages. We know too Fauci was working with CIA units to protect himself, his work and the "bat soup" narrative.

The Biden Admin had every MSM outlet from news to late night comedy specifically enlisted to promote propaganda.

Were you not awake during the covid period?

I suspect the little weasel WAS awake, but hired by the other side.

Many are like that.
