Yiannopoulos has long been known for provocative comments about women and Muslims...

Before this controversy, Yiannopoulos was perhaps best known for getting banned from Twitter for helping to lead an online harassment campaign against comedian and "Ghostbusters" actress Leslie Jones."

So, apparently it was just fine with the Conservative Political Actual Conference that milo said and did all that stuff, until he got caught on tape just before their conference. Maybe it was because his targets in the past were women and muslims, and not boys?

So someone is being held accountable and you don't like it?
Is it because the low life democrat party doesn't hold their own accountable so it's confusing when a group does? I know the filthy progressives didn't hold the bald faced liar obama and the corrupt hillary accountable so it must be why this is confusing to them.

Everything is working as it should. The first amendment is a wonderful thing. You can say whatever you want to say, but if you go too far, you lose your support. Violence and riots are not necessary. Free speech is self correcting.

It looks like he took advantage of the free publicity to get fame.
I'm still trying to find out who he initially backed in '08, '12, and '16.
I get how a conservative in Congress would pick trump over hillary but why the love from a conservative speaker? If he is conservative. Was he always for Trump?

I guess you don't see the difference between not supporting someone because of something they said and openly rioting and burning buildings and breaking windows.

So Milo said something accurate about pedophilia and everyone is freaking out.

Someday people will stop being such big babies.

Or rather, no, they won't.

I had never heard of this individual until very recently (I guess when he was banned from Twitter).


As for the question posed about whom he back for President dating back to 2008: he may not have backed anyone, since he is a British citizen (of course, I realize that many non-citizens voice their opinion on whom our president should be).


Indeed, if he was here on a work visa, and he is now out of work, shouldn't he be deported?
