He has no right to a "hate speech" claim any more than Trump does.
If you throw yourself into the controversial public speech arena -- and if that's how you make your living -- all bets should be off regarding insults, short of anything illegal.
It's absolutely insane that this guy is playing victim, and people are buying it.
This is a piss poor reason to demonetize Crowder's channel.
