On the January 13 edition of Newsmax’s The Chris Salcedo Show, host Chris Salcedo interviewed Gavin McInnes, the founder of the violent hate group Proud Boys. McInnes used the appearance to complain about instances of right-wing figures being removed from certain platforms.
The Proud Boys has extensive ties to white supremacists and McInnes himself has a long record of making racist and bigoted remarks. In 2017, McInnes released a video titled “10 Things I hate About Jews” in which he used common antisemitic stereotypes. In 2016, McInnes referred to actor Jada Pinkett Smith as a “monkey actress.”
YouTube suspended McInnes account in 2020 due to violating his policies on hate speech.
