In Sept. 2021, Ethan launched a left-leaning political podcast, titled Leftovers, alongside Twitch streamer and left-wing political commentator Hasan Piker. Regarding the podcast's purpose, Ethan said via Tubefilter, "The spirit of this show is not serious policy debate, it is bringing righteous to justice to these s--tbags, just clowning on idiots."
Ethan Klein has had his fair share of controversies.
In April 2016, Matt Hosseinzadeh (a YouTuber who goes by "Bold Guy") sued Ethan and Hila for copyright infringement in a video on the h3h3Productions channel. Several big-name YouTubers rallied together to support the Kleins, raising over $145,000 to help them battle the lawsuit. In the end, the Kleins won the lawsuit.
U.S. District Judge Katherine B. Forrest ruled that their commentary video constituted "fair use as a matter of law" and described their method of criticism as "quintessential."

The complaint argued that the podcast "illegally retransmitted the Broadcast" in its now-deleted episode titled "Jake Paul Fight Was a Disaster." The episode aired five days after the Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren fight and featured footage along with Ethan's commentary on the event.
A few white supremacists successfully lobbied YouTube to suspend me, a Jewish dual citizen of Israel & USA, for anti-semitism. Ben Shapiro & friends can virtue signal all they want but ultimately they are the ones platforming dangerous anti-semites. All I did was point it out.

In May 2022, the H3 Podcast channel was suspended after Ethan declared on air that someone should bomb the NRA convention in Florida. Five months later, the same channel received a one-week suspension after Ethan said, "If there's another Holocaust and people start rounding up the Jews again I hope Ben [Shapiro] gets gassed first. Or last."
Ethan later addressed the suspension, tweeting, "A few white supremacists successfully lobbied YouTube to suspend me, a Jewish dual citizen of Israel & USA, for antisemitism."
