Steven Crowder Political Views

Steven carved out a niche for himself in conservative subculture ever since he began regularly posting satirical videos on politically conservative media. Pajamas Media and Andrew Breitbart’s Big Hollywood are the most prominent examples.

Crowder was the master of ceremonies at the 2011 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). 

In October 2012, Crowder made another video for YouTube, in which he is seen parodying Lena Dunham’s ad endorsing Barack Obama. This video found mention in the conservative magazine The American Spectator.

In 2016, Crowder made a short video for the conservative website PragerU, where he equates democratic socialism with Marxism.

In December 2012, Fox News aired a video of an altercation between Crowder and members of Americans for Prosperity at a Right to Work rally in Michigan. An attempt by union activists to tear down the Americans for Prosperity tent triggered the incident.

Crowder was punched in the face by a union member several times. It continued to hog the limelight in conservative media, with Fox News describing it as evidence of “union thuggery.”

On the Fox and Friends talk show, anchor Steve Doocy wondered what his colleague had done “that so provoked the Left.”

Crowder posted an edited video of the incident on his YouTube channel. But an extended version of the video revealed that the videos posted by Crowder had been abridged, removing the footage of the alleged assailant being pushed to the ground prior to their throwing a punch in return.

A Michigan county prosecutor refused to press charges against anyone involved in the altercation, determining that the full video showed that the union member acted in self-defense.

Steven Crowder’s YouTube Investigation

In June 2019, Crowder’s YouTube videos were investigated and demonetized over his repetitive usage of racist and homophobic slurs to describe Carlos Maza, a gay journalist working at Vox.

The channel was not suspended, with YouTube saying “the videos did not violate our Community Guidelines“, but going on to say at the same time that it would block Crowder from making any money on videos he uploaded on the site.

Crowder has more than 3.7 million subscribers on YouTube.

YouTube, a subsidiary of tech giant Alphabet, claimed Crowder had engaged in “continued egregious actions that have harmed the broader community,” though the company stopped short of banning Crowder and deleting his videos entirely, a demand made by a lot of progressive groups and journalists.

Crowder called the situation a brewing “Adpocalypse.” “It’s not a win,” he continued, “because their goal is to completely get rid of people. We’re at a point in time right now where people can still have a voice, but a lot of people are going to lose their ability to earn revenue.”
