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.Ethan Klein receives massive backlash for his NRA bombing comment View this post on Instagram Instagram PostIn a live broadcast of Friday's H3 After Dark episode, which Ethan Klein hosts with his wife Hila Klein, the former said:“So there was a big protest outside the NRA meeting, which was good. Do we have any insight into what they are actually talking about there at the NRA meeting, that’s today, in Texas? Someone should bomb that 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."ELIJAH SCHAFFER@ElijahSchafferEthan Klein of H3 Podcast calling for violence and provoking the public to “bomb” the NRA conference in Houston, TX129883595Ethan Klein of H3 Podcast calling for violence and provoking the public to “bomb” the NRA conference in Houston, TX https://t.co/daohOoCUaIJackson@McHalosonExtended version: H3H3's Ethan Klein encourages his viewers to bomb the #NRA convention.

However, Klein's next statement, amid his wife's nervous suggestion to "end the show," didn't do much to alleviate his concerning call to violence as he said:"Let's kill everyone in that f*cking building. Let's bomb that f*cking..."The clip cut away to another "technical difficulties" graphic after Klein's last words. The end of the first sentence is slightly muffled due to overlapping voices, but the YouTuber may have said, "Let's kill everyone in that f*cking building [with kindness]."Ethan Klein's callous words, which he later tried to pass off as a joke, drew the ire of many Conservatives across the internet, including Donald Trump Jr. They criticized YouTube for not taking strict action against Klein for violating a number of their community guidelines.

He also revealed that he had "never received so many death threats" in his life.Ethan Klein@h3h3productionsI want to make it clear that I don’t advocate for violence of any kind. That is obvious to anyone that watched the segment & not just the 10 sec clip that was used to misdirect attention.

I got banned for a week and the episode was removed. If only they cared about dead kids as much as they do jokes…So I wanna say sorry. Sorry y’all are such pathetic snowflakes. F*ck the NRA & f*ck Abbott."The tweet set off another chain of retaliation, arguing that his insensitive call to bomb the NRA building was hardly a joke. Things took a turn for the worse when the YouTuber said he was ready to use his semi-automatic shotgun on any online haters who dared to come to his house, fueling the fire further.
