You could learn something from Epps.
Fox News Channel and other right-wing media outlets amplified conspiracy theories that Epps, 62, was an undercover government agent who helped incite the Capitol attack to entrap Trump supporters. Epps filed a defamation lawsuit against Fox News last year, saying the network was to blame for spreading baseless claims about him.
Epps told the judge that he now knows that he never should have believed the lies about a stolen election that Trump and his allies told and that Fox News broadcast.
"I have learned that truth is not always found in the places that I used to trust," said Epps, who asked for mercy before learning his sentence.

Irrelevant spam.
He is on video inciting an "insurrection" and was not arrested for over a year, and when he finally was, he was given a token punishment.
The only plausible explanation is that he is an fbi "asset".
