“So there was a big protest before the NRA meeting, which was a good thing. Do we really have any idea what they were talking about at the NRA meeting in Texas today? This building needs to be blown up.
Under the twitter laughter of host Klein, the YouTuber tried to get back in the comment.
“Somehow I was taken here, no one was bombing the building, okay? I’ll take it back, thanks.
Early in her YouTube career, Klein became associated with the moderately leftist community on YouTube, criticizing co-creator Casey Neistat for her partisan comments about Donald Trump in 2016, and prompting YouTubers to express their opinions on who voted.
From Breitbart News:
“The way Casey talks about Donald Trump is almost implying that he is some kind of Adolf Hitler, implying that if you don’t vote for Hillary, you will be responsible for the Holocaust at hand,” Ethan continued. “It almost portrayed him as an inhuman demon who was very unproductive.”
“Don’t listen to me, don’t listen to Casey. I’m just a youtuber. How does that give me the right to say who you vote for?” He said. “But Casey said: “If you don’t vote for Hillary, you’re responsible for part 2 of the Holocaust.” Get off your bloody white horse. You’re just making goddamn vlogs. ”
Ethan closed the video by stating that he had voted for a third-party candidate and said, “Don’t let people scare you and make you feel like crap for wanting to be in the middle. There should be more people in the middle. ”
In recent years, Klein has tended to repeat the Democratic Party line. In addition to attacking the NRA and gun rights activists, Klein falsely accused Donald Trump of “inciting an uprising that killed 6 people”.

Although Klein’s channel was suspended by YouTube for a week, some YouTubers found that the Google-owned platform was more tolerant of left-wing creators than others.
Why was LeafyisHere’s 5 million subscriber YouTube channel banned for bullying when Ethan Klein was calling for a terrorist attack in the US and he was just attacking YouTube?
THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG!

“Why was LeafyisHere’s YouTube channel with 5 million subscribers banned for bullying when Ethan Klein called for a terrorist attack on US soil and attacked YouTube?” asked Kimstar, another popular YouTuber.
Be right and make a video criticizing someone and you’re walking on thin ice. The hammer can fall any day.
But be trans and left wing, you can literally threaten Twitch headquarters in Minecraft and still get your channel back.
We noticed this thing.

“I do not support the removal of the platform,” said Graf Dankula, a popular opposition comedian and frequent target of the radical left, whose channel lost all of its revenue in 2019.
“Yeah, I’m sure Ethan isn’t serious. But the ban on Twitter and YouTube is like a kid with a wealthy father killing the family while driving drunk and the sentence is only delayed and some random guy gets 2 years for 10 grams of weed. We all realize and we all know why. we know. “
