The Pundit in question is accused of doing rants against Carlos Maza.
YouTube is investigating conservative commentator Steven Crowder after Vox host Carlos Maza accused him of harassment and making derogatory comments about his ethnicity and sexuality.
YouTube responded to Maza's tweet thread detailing his allegations, saying that it was "looking into it further."
The company also confirmed to The Hill that it was investigating in response to Maza's thread, but declined to comment further.
Maza, the host of Vox's media literacy series "Strikethrough," accused Crowder on Twitter this week of "repeated, overt attacks on my sexual orientation and ethnicity." He said that the pundit has called him "an anchor baby" and "a lispy queer." He also said that Crowder's videos have caused him to be the "target of ridiculous harassment," adding that "it makes life sort of miserable."
The Vox host told his followers to flag Crowder's videos and said he did not believe YouTube would take a stand against the commentator. He accused the company of not caring about its LGBT creators.
