But according to NYT he also said the following:

"Pedophilia is not a sexual attraction to somebody 13 years old who is sexually mature. Pedophilia is attraction to children who have not reached puberty.”

People that have their eyes wide open see that what Trump has proposed needs to be accomplished.

Anyone suggesting 20 Trillion dollars of national debt with simply inflating the bubble post 2008 collapse as Obama did was success than they are severely misguided.

That seems an oxymoron and definitely not on point for this thread

Milo was busted. He just got a bit ahead of himself since Trump tweeted in his defense at UC Berkeley.

In one fell swoop, Milo has gone from golden boy of the right to pedo defender in record time.

No coming back for Milo. The mere mention of boys and men will ruin his conservative fanbase.

Maybe he thought Pres Trump "had his back" and he could say anything he wished.

Bye Bye Milo

He absolutely was not! You obviously did not watch the video.

Watch the video, listen to his words. He believes older men should have a role in assisting in the sexually "coming of age" experience for 13 yo boys.

Oh, and he's very grateful to father Michael who taught him at age 13 how to give the best oral sex ever to another man. He said he has father Michael to thank for that talent. He was abused as a young teen himself.

Somehow I think Milo will be fine. His book will be picked up and he's already explained his position in this controversy!!!!

I enjoy Milo's outlandish approach in general but, like CPAC, I think this time he went too far. He can back pedal all he wants, but I heard his words.

There seems to be some left wing media that is trying to suggest that pedophilia is ok, but you are correct, pedophilia is not acceptable to the GOP.
Specifically who within the "left wing media" is endorsing pediophiliac relationships?

That is getting creepy, even though 13 year olds can have sexual attractions (I certainly did, as did most of my peers). But I don't think Milo is saying it should be okay to have sex with 13 year olds, but rather his own thoughts of what pedophila is. People all over the world have various thoughts on what constitutes pedophila (at least one major religion in the world thinks 9 year olds are fair game.)

It just goes to show how much more effective the right is than the left when it comes to protest. Burning buildings and beating people unconscious increased Milo's book sales. The conservatives got him not only disinvited from speaking at CPAC, but ended his book deal. I think it's a bit sad really, because he's a victim himself. But until this moment he didn't seem concerned about the young boys who are being victimized now. I hear it's quite common in the gay community to feel that older gay men are like mentors. Is that why they call older gay men dads?

Will conservatives excuse this or condemn him ?
Milo isn't a conservative. He's a flamboyant gay man who likes to be the center of attention. He has some non-PC opinions that he expresses to achieve these goals. Apparently, he's also making some pretty good money from his notoriety.
