On the April 6 edition of Louder with Crowder, host Steven Crowder spread a false anti-Semitic conspiracy theory alleging that George Soros collaborated with the Nazis. This was Crowder’s first episode on YouTube after being temporarily suspended from the platform.
The lie that Soros collaborated with the Nazis is widespread in right-wing media.
Crowder claimed that Soros, who is a Holocaust survivor himself, evaded capture from the Nazis by selling out fellow Jewish people. This is a lie that has been thoroughly debunked. Soros never assisted with the confiscation of property nor did he round up Jewish people.
Crowder said Soros “allegedly would tell the Nazis, you know, where the Jews were.”
Co-host Dave Landau called Soros “a little narc.”
Crowder also asked, “Why is Media Matters so obsessed with Ben Shapiro? Because George Soros won’t stop reporting him.”
After the episode transitioned from playing on YouTube to appearing behind a paywall, Crowder said Soros refers to the “rounding up of Jews” as “the wonder years.”
Crowder has a history of pushing bigotry, racist slurs, and misinformation on his show. YouTube has policies against harassment and cyberbullying as well as hate speech.
