On a recent episode of H3 Podcast, YouTuber and podcaster Ethan Klein called for the bombing of Friday’s National Rifle Association (NRA) meeting that was held in Houston, Texas on Friday, May 27. Klein’s comments came amidst the protests that were already taking place outside the NRA meeting in the wake of the devastating school shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
The YouTuber’s comments inciting violence were not taken lightly, sparking outrage and backlash from several high-profile Conservatives. The list includes Donald Trump Jr. who took to his Instagram story to call out Ethan Klein for encouraging his 2.9 million subscribers to bomb the NRA building.
An extended version of this highly controversial clip showed Klein walking back on his comments instantly. After an awkward pause, Klein said, “Okay, I’ll roll that back,” to which his wife responded, “Everything but violence.” The duo and the podcast’s other co-hosts laughed before the telecast cut to a “technical difficulties” graphic.
Ethan Klein added:
“I got a little carried away there, nobody bomb the building, all right? I take that back, thank you. It’s a-I took it a little too-I got a little passionate there, let’s roll it back…Rewind time. Let’s protest that building. Let’s bomb it with emotional protest.”
