Fox News Thug Steven Crowder is Lying About Not Provoking a Fight With Patriotic Michigan Union Protester
A video of Fox News contributor Steven Crowder getting punched by a Michigan union protester was selectively edited, and that editing was revealed during Crowder’s appearance on Sean Hannity’s show on Fox News.
The original video shows Crowder getting punched by a protester on Tuesday while Crowder was trying to stop an Americans For Prosperity tent from being torn down. The video, which is appraching a million views on YouTube, was picked up by the right as evidence of “union thuggery”:
...Unfortunately for Mr. Crowder, a look at the video broadcast on the Sean Hannity show appears to show quite clearly that he left out an important section of the footage when he put together his edit. A section of the Fox News broadcast preserved by the Web site Mediaite shows that Mr. Hannity’s producers at Fox News started the clip five seconds earlier than Mr. Crowder did. What the extra footage reveals is the man who punched Mr. Crowder being knocked to the ground seconds before and then getting up and taking a swing at the comedian.
How did the patriotic union protester end up on the ground if Crowder did not push or punch him first. It seems that Crowder is lying. At the very least in the sense that he claims to be nothing but a poor innocent victim. More here, Fox News' Conservative Thug Steve Crowder Absurdly Challenges MI Protester To Duel In The Octagon. Crowders' mission from Fox news and the anti-American Koch brothers was to create violence so they would have something to smear unions with.
