On Thursday&#8217;s episode of &#8220;The Michael Knowles Show,&#8221; Knowles argues that Vox Media host Carlos Maza&#8217;s attempt to get comedian Steven Crowder demonetized and removed from the video-sharing website YouTube was not a simple case of hurt feelings, but a coordinated attack on conservative content creators. Video and partial transcript below.
It&#8217;s a twofold political stunt. Why did Carlos Maza do this now? He said that Crowder has been calling him a &#8220;lispy queer&#8221; for years. Maza has been calling himself a &#8220;queer&#8221; for years. Why right now? Well, it&#8217;s because this is Pride month. Carlos Maza launched this whole crusade on May 30th, two days before the launch of Pride Month. This was not an exasperated emotional reaction to harassment. This was a highly calculated premeditated attempt to censor conservatives on YouTube and other social media which are, by the way, the largest public squares in the entire world. Certainly, in the country but in the entire world as well. This was a highly calculated attempt by a highly calculating political operative named Carlos Maza to sensor conservatives from the public square.
