The Louder with Crowder host has since taken to other social media platforms to address the ban. After the ban on Steven Crowder occurred, fans awaited a response from him. A couple of hours later, the social media star took to Twitter and Instagram to address the unexpected platform removal. On August 18, Crowder took to his Twitter account, announcing that YouTube had suspended the podcast after their interview with Kari Lake. In retaliation, the podcast host announced that he would be interviewing her again "because f**k YouTube." He also attached a video with the tweet in which he said: “We’ve been suspended, not for anything I said, but for what the future governor of Arizona, Kari Lake, said regarding election integrity. The election primary that she just won? YouTube’s decided she’s an extremist, you’re an extremist, so let’s all be extremists together exclusively on Rumble and MugClub. Look, you don’t have to win every fight, you just have to make them wish they picked somebody else. Today, let’s make them wish they picked someone else.” Steven Crowder@scrowderYouTube suspended this show over our @KariLake interview. So, you know what? We're interviewing her AGAIN!
