YouTube’s top brass has booted former CRTV host Gavin McInnes from the platform.

The comedian who hosted “Get Off My Lawn” for CRTV until its deal with Glenn Beck’s BlazeTV has been kicked off YouTube’s property. The development follows identical decisions by Twitter, Facebook, Amazon and PayPal.

“This account has been terminated because we received multiple third-party claims of copyright infringement regarding material the user posted,” a note on the terminated channel reads.

Mr. McInnes, the founder of Proud Boys, has been under fire from critics for months. They often use a hate group designation by Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) to claim that members of Proud Boys are tied to white nationalists.

The pundit has disassociated himself from the group, although he maintains that it is not a white nationalist organization.
