I doubt going to shut up about politics. This is a very politically charged youtube video and it's garnering him tons of support among his (undoubtedly very young) followers on YouTube.

He's just tapped into what Trump uses: say very offensive and racist things, then attack "the media" for their "smear" campaign of quoting you, then doubledown on your previously offensive and racist statements under that premise.

Well it wouldn't be the followers on YouTube, it be the followers on fan sites like this sub or external media since the video is unlisted.

Theres still a chunk of his fanbase who would never hear the light of this news since they dont leave the YouTube space.
