The conservative political commentator was left panicking

FACT CHECK: FALSE.

He was literally laughing at it.

"Oh no, it's Sam Seder! What a f***ing nightmare! I had no idea this was going to happen," he says.

SARCASTICALLY. He said it insanely sarcastically but here's the very next line in the article:

Crowder becomes increasingly agitated and blasts Klein for putting him on the spot.

He was not agitated, he was annoyed as Sam wouldn't STFU.

They then run only anti-Crowder tweets. Completely one-sided interview.

To compare, I could find 2 articles that mention Ben challenging AOC to a debate:

https://web.archive.org/web/20210427183230/https://www.newsweek.com/ben-shapiro-wants-debate-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-so-much-he-offered-her-10k-1066118

It's NPOV except they exclude mentioning AOC not accepting, it appears to be from before she said anything. It's posted the day before AOC accused him of "cat calling", Newsweek apparently never wrote a followup article about her "being mocked online" after she "had a meltdown" and "avoided debating" or became "visibly distressed", "increasingly agitated" and keeps refusing to debate him.

Then there's this one: https://web.archive.org/web/20210609044645/https://www.newsweek.com/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-fact-check-middle-class-ice-1068004

In a publicity stunt, right-wing commentator Ben Shapiro, who is not running for office, offered the 28-year-old $10,000 to debate him publically, then used her refusal as an excuse to retweet his fans, saying he would "destroy her intellectually."

Such unbiased journalisming!

Ever want to see why leftists are retards, they can watch the exact same thing as us with Klein hiding and Sam showing he couldn’t shut up long enough to actually even hold a debate. The dude was literally just mumbling to himself at one point, I could mop the floor with a weasel faggot like that. Anyone who watched that exchange and saw it as a victory for two soyboys had a very manipulated sense of reality.

This is the thing I don't get. Crowder clearly knew it was a set up, but went ahead with it because, what, he thought that pointing out that this is the kind of thing the left do would achieve anything?

That's not how it works. Anyone who's been half paying attention for the past couple of years knows that they'll just outright lie about you and pretend you genuinely got caught out, and thanks to their total control of mainstream media none of the few people who don't already know how this works will ever hear your side of the story.

I don't know what Stephen Crowder expected to gain by engaging with that slimeball Ethan Klein.

Crowder clearly knew it was a set up

He didn't know, he suspected. He let Ethan fall on his own sword, which everyone but the deranged CDS sufferers can see.

Imagine mocking someone so hard that you’re crying laughing and then watch them post the next day “I make this idiot cry! I’m so smart!” The crowder vid shows that Ethan is both lying about Crowder hiding from him and that Crowder was scared as he was actively mocking Seder and calling out Ethan for hiding behind someone much less relevant to their faces.

Sam Seder made himself look so stupid doing this, he couldn’t even shut up long enough to realize he was being mocked. He’s probably so dense that he thought Klein wasn’t just using him as a cowardly gotcha gag.

Seder probably doesn’t give a shit, he’s there to get brownie points from the left in an attempt to look intelligent and get a quick grab of popularity. It’s sad but telling that even the biggest of these leftist commentary creators are either completely inorganic or unpopular

The real shocking news is that apparently Newsweek still exists.

In all fairness Crowder could've handled it better, but at the same time I really don't blame him. Klein is such a dreg of YouTube, trying to make drama from nothing.

He's basically become the thing that he used to always mock. Let's just hope he saved some of those YouTube dollars before he drops off completely, his kids gotta eat.

I'm not sure there is a way crowder could have handled that "better". Completely lost whatever respect I had left for Ethan Klein. What a pathetic coward and worse than that-- he pretended to be all nice and personable and friendly with crowder during the set up.

Hes a two faced fraud who's hairy gut has obscured his balls so long he's forgotten what they look like
