The Steven Crowder vs Sam Seder debate debacle is hilarious

 So, I assume people know who Sam Seder and Steven Crowder are. Steven Crowder is a conservative pundit who likes to throw his crap around. He's very sure of himself, he's infamous for going to college campuses and debating ignorant college students to own the libs and show how stupid they are. But, he likes to avoid debating anyone who knows what they're talking about, such as Sam Seder, a liberal talk show host who is pretty intelligent. I don't agree with him all the time, but he knows his stuff. 

So, Crowder, being the showman he is, decided to saber rattle with the wrong person. He picked on an apolitical talk show host named Ethan Klein, wanting to debate him over listening to the CDC, and tried to have a debate with him. Now, Klein isn't, in any way, a political commentator. So Crowder is looking at this, and being like "this guy isn't gonna be a challenge at all", he even described him as a "lay up" once. But, Klein kind of knew of this ongoing spat between Crowder and Seder, where Crowder kept ducking debates from Seder on the grounds that he would probably lose (officially it's due to subscriber count, but Crowder always dishonestly describes his count as much lower than it actually is to make Seder look like he just wants to debate for attention). So what happened? The day of, Klein brings Seder onto the show to debate Crowder, and Crowder loses his crap. It's like watching a pedo being told to sit down by Chris Hansen on "To Catch a Predator". He loses it, they argue for several minutes, and he runs off. 

Apparently it got so bad, that this was actually the second scheduled debate. The first time Crowder suspected Seder might be brought onto the show so canceled when Seder wasn't broadcasting, claiming a medical emergency. So Seder went so far to prerecord his own show and then play it live when it wasn't really live, just to trick Crowder into thinking this wouldn't happen. And it did.

I normally wouldn't support the idea of bait and switching in debates. It's dishonest and hacky, and I could almost see why Crowder ran off, it was a bit of an entrapment in an uncomfortable situation. If anyone else did it I would likely condemn it. But, in this case, it was just so sweet. Crowder doesn't deserve any sympathy. The dude is basically like a predator. He goes after low hanging fruit to make himself look good. So him getting a taste of his own medicine is good in this case. And it's hilarious as fudge.

I encourage anyone to watch it.
