On Monday, November 6, conservative political commentator and host of “Louder with Crowder” Steven Crowder released what appears to be part of the manifesto of the Nashville shooter who killed three adults and three children at the Covenant School on March 27, 2023.
The images had been kept from the public pending completion of the investigation, but Crowder, through unknown means, obtained the images and shared them with the public, who he felt “had a right to know a long time ago” – specifically a right to know that the shooter targeted a specific group: “cr*ackers” and people she associated with white supremacy.
The mainstream media has jumped at the opportunity to twist Crowder’s decision to share the truth into an avaricious desire for “clicks and clout,” says Dave Rubin.
“The media obviously doesn’t like Crowder [because] Crowder is competition to CNN,” he explains, so “if he is to expose anything that is true, well, then they have to go after Crowder.”
However, it looks like Crowder was well aware this attack was coming.
In a tweet, he said, “Expect hit pieces from the left wing media saying we released the #NashvilleManifesto for clicks and clout.”
And he was dead right.
Dave shows an email Crowder received from a reporter at the New York Times asking him for comment before she published a story about his publication of the manifesto that would include Covenant parent Brent Leatherwood’s accusation that Crowder’s decision was all about “chasing clicks.”
“We also know that if this wasn’t a trans person, if this had been a white supremacist, let’s say, or just a white guy, just a Christian white guy – there’s no way this manifesto would have been hidden,” Dave adds.
