Steven Crowder branded 'racist' for recreating George Floyd murder as producer kneels on him like Derek Chauvin

'Can’t believe Steven Crowder died this morning simulating the George Floyd incident. RIP to one of the greats,' a user commented

Conservative commentator Steven Crowder is once again making headlines for another bizarre move. The 33-year-old has now posted a video on his YouTube channel recreating the episode which took George Floyd's life. As soon as the video came to light, people started slamming Crowder for the "act."

"Crowder goes Myth Busters and has his producers kneel on his neck for nine minutes just to see what happens," Crowder titled the video where first he can be seen kneeling down and later when one officer is kneeling on his neck, applying force. In reality, 45-year-old Derek Chauvin, who is white, was seen in a video taken by a bystander kneeling on the neck of a handcuffed Floyd for more than nine minutes as the 46-year-old African-American man complained repeatedly that he "can't breathe."

In the video, another person is constantly asking Crowder how is he feeling, as he laid down with the officer's knee on his neck. The actual harrowing video of Floyd's death touched off protests against racial injustice and police brutality in the United States and around the world, so on Wednesday, April 7, Crowder tried to recreate it, people slammed him. One person said, "So that subhuman pile of pond sc*m Steven Crowder recreated George Floyd's death for shits n' giggles in another dumb video? Not surprised really. It not like the dude will get any consequences since YouTube loves playin' chicken shit. Maybe Conservatives deserve to be silenced." Another one sarcastically said, "Can’t believe Steven Crowder died this morning simulating the George Floyd incident. RIP to one of the greats."

Another one slammed him saying, "I clicked on the "Crowder" hashtag expecting to see Steven Crowder wearing a dress, making fun of trans people, but no! He managed to make it even worse by reenacting George Floyd's death, going "see?? having a cop smash his knee against your windpipe is totally fine and cool!" While another open suggested, "I will be more than happy to help Steven Crowder properly recreate the George Floyd arrest by kneeling on his neck for 9 1/2 with a comparable amount of pressure."

Another one shared two pictures and said, "Crowder’s “recreation” versus the way it was done on George Floyd. Steven you f*cking p*say." While one said, "i hate peddaling to this racist bullshit but lets do it. george floyd had 2nanograms of fentanyl and 5 of norfentanyl in his system. he would have needed about 250000x more than that to have a lethal dose. crowder is mocking his death because he is a terrible human being."

Calling Crowder a "racist" some said, "TW for the whole george floyd situation / / / crowder is a sickening man. i used to think he was just another "owning the libs" reactionary but he is genuinely a racist," and "If you support Steven Crowder, you are a racist and vile piece of s*it. There is no defense for him talking about doing a re-enactment of George Floyd’s murder to test a “theory”. That is disgusting."

Crowder runs a popular YouTube channel under the name StevenCrowder. He also hosts a daily podcast titled Louder with Crowder and a segment called Change My Min. Previously, Steven Crowder worked for Fox News as a contributor but was reportedly let go after making comments about anchor Sean Hannity in 2013 Last time, Crowder faced heavy backlash when he uploaded a video with the title, ‘Cross-dressing at Planet Fitness’ the video was a  response to a news story at the time in 2015. The story involved a woman who allegedly had her Planet Fitness membership withdrawn after complaining about a transgender woman using the changing rooms. Seemingly, in an attempt to discover whether Planet Fitness values their "no judgment of transgender people" over their "no serious lifters" rule, Crowder dressed up in women’s clothing with a wig and fake breasts, he got badly slammed on the Internet for the act.
