The "rent is too damn high" guys is a vile antisemite, not that anyone gives a shit
I'd use Hitler for a meme if it was funny, using an image of a person doesn't mean you agree or even are aware of who that person is or what their beliefs are
Sometimes you just gotta let go of all that useless hate and enjoy things at face value
Do you mean he throws Jews down a well or do you mean he criticized Israel?
I Googled, and found an article that said this:
Which certainly seems antisemitic. I tracked down that claim to a Gawker article from October 2005 which said the above quote came from his website. It was hard to track down because all the news orgs link to his website's homepage which substantially changed multiple times since then and eventually stopped existing entirely, and it wasn't very easily navigable at the time. But here's the page being cited. It's…pretty fucking wild.
Here's his rather weak apology from 2010.
Oh dear. Thanks for the research. Also thanks to @[email protected] for raising the issue. I wasn't aware of this.
I stopped enjoying the "change my mind" meme when I realized what a piece of shit Crowder is. I'll put this one in the same bucket.

And the meme is making fun of a dumb thing he said, so who cares?
What he said wasn't dumb. Rent is too damn high. The reason he thought rent was too high was dumb and antisemitic.
