Steven Crowder Deserves Cancellation for Despicable Take on Down Syndrome Barbie

by

In collaboration with the National Down Syndrome Society, toy manufacturing company Mattel added a Down Syndrome Barbie to their product line on Tuesday. Typically, I turn off when I hear the word “inclusion,” but in this case, I think Mattel has done a very caring and lovely thing.

Citing data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Associated Press reported that Down syndrome “is the most common chromosomal condition diagnosed in the U.S. today. About 6,000 babies are born across the country each year with Down syndrome, the CDC said.”

Lisa McKnight, executive vice president and global head of Barbie and Dolls at Mattel, said in a statement: “We are proud to introduce a Barbie doll with Down syndrome to better reflect the world around us and further our commitment to celebrating inclusion.”

NDSS President and CEO Kandi Pickard issued a statement that said, “This means so much for our community, who for the first time, can play with a Barbie doll that looks like them. This Barbie serves as a reminder that we should never underestimate the power of representation.”

Conservative political commentator and comedian Steven Crowder sees the situation a little bit differently. His reaction to Mattel’s Down syndrome Barbie is cruel, despicable, and insulting.

In a Tuesday Twitter post, Crowder played a video from an Inside Edition report on the doll. As a Mattel official discusses the new addition to their product line, Crowder is heard laughing and making derisive remarks in the background. Frankly, it’s hard to believe he thought this was a good idea.

Twitter users, absolutely horrified by Crowder’s heartless behavior, quickly delivered the smackdown he so richly deserved.

Looks like Crowder’s gotten a little too carried away with his recent success.

  2. That was disgusting to hear him. I’m on the lookout for conservative commentators who don’t go overboard, but this guy is disgusting. I will not be listening to him ever. I have heard some really over-the-top commentators on both sides. Even though I’m back to stay I still will not tolerate an over-the-top commentator. You can read about my come back: Republican vs Democrat vs Independent, I’ve tried all three

  4. GOOD FOR CROWDER !!
    Everyone is so sick of this virtue signalling BS.
    Oh gee make an entire line of dolls for 4k out of 400m people? WHY?
    Stop with the bs already, please just stop?
    What’s next, the spinal biffida pasty butt doll?

    Id laugh too because the entire thing is just ridiculous.

  5. I’m so excited does this mean we are having wheel cheer Barbie!! What about alopecia Barbie, 1 arm Barbie, deformed arm Barbie, blind Barbie and can we please get a tourrete one!! So excited what about any other stupid ideas!!

  7. I need a companion for my crack head Barbie. There is a reason we have never made the challenged mainstream before. While life is not the pursuit of perfection it is the pursuit of excellence. Such reminders are a constant indicator the human condition is found amidst miseries. It kills hope, which is our last, best tool.

  8. Where are the conjoined twins Barbie? Will they be double the price? And where is the grossly fat Lizzo Barbie? And how about a Barbie in the shower with Joe Biden? And what about a trans Barbie? Inquiring minds want to know.

  9. Good Lord! Crowder is a COMEDIAN ! If you don’t like his comments, either DON’T watch or listen to his programming. As with Twitter, social media, no one FORCES you to peruse their content. And no one can shut him down now.🇺🇸

  10. After the video of the moron treating his wife like he did I believe he should just disappear, might be better for his health. Got no use for a little punk mistreating a woman. But you bunch of pantywaists keep defending him.

  11. Crowder is a shock jock. It’s what he does. Although I don’t agree with him seeming to make fun of those with down syndrome. I think his idea was more making fun of the woke Mattel company. I wouldn’t have done it like him. (not that anyone would ask me to) I happen to adore those with down syndrome. I think they are some of the sweetest, hardest working people on the planet. What should make us all mad is the pro-choicers out there that thinkg it’s fine to abort a pre-born baby due to down syndrome or those fanatics that are taking advantage of those with down syndrome by dressing them up in trans or drag clothes. There are a lot of truly sick people out there.
