Berkeley Mayor Apologizes, Retracts Claim that MILO is a ‘White Nationalist’ …
Breitbart ^ | 2/2/17

And Replaces It With A New Lie
Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguin has apologized and retracted his earlier claim that MILO is a “white nationalist” after heavy criticism.

However, in a revised statement, he replaced the first lie with a new one, calling MILO a “prominent alt-rightist,” attributing to MILO an ideology he has repeatedly rejected. MILO is demanding a second apology and retraction.

Mayor Arreguin wrote that he regrets and apologizes for the “white national” label he ascribed to MILO in a statement he released early Thursday on the riots that occurred on the UC Berkeley campus last night.

Several Twitter users criticized Arreguin for his decision to falsely brand MILO as “white nationalist.”

The mayor also put out a revised statement, which no longer refers to MILO as a white nationalist. However, it now refers to him as a “prominent alt-rightist,” which is also false. It also argues that the protests were wrong because they “provided the ultra-nationalist far right exactly the images they want.”

Responding, MILO said “Wrong again. Will he apologize this time? And, while he’s at it, take responsibility for gleefully encouraging the riots last night?”

Arreguin, whose mayoral candidacy was endorsed by the Democrats and former presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, was criticized for suggesting that MILO’s speech wasn’t welcome in Berkeley, shortly before the riots erupted.

Arreguin chose to conveniently ignored that just last week, MILO spoke out against white nationalism, claiming that we should be “aspiring to values and to ideas and focusing on what unites people, not what drives them apart.”

“You shouldn’t give a sh*t about skin color, you shouldn’t give a shit about sexuality, you shouldn’t give a sh*t about gender, and you should be deeply suspicious of the people who do,” he concluded.

This big boy hasn't missed too many meals. Speaking of which

Separated at birth?
So Milo isn't a White nationalist, he's just an alt.rightist. Really mayor? Sounds like he's "appropriating" islamic culture engaging in taqyya and kitman.

This is how racist Democrats treat Gay White Jewish men. It’s amazing how bigoted the Democrats have become

Why is the mayor making any comments about Milo’s philosophy? It doesn’t matter if Milo is a Republican, Nazi, Girl Scout, or monarchist,, his right to free speech is the same. The mayor’s job is to maintain public order, which he failed to do.

Then I guess we must refer to him as a “Failed Mayor.” Sayonara.

He needs to be removed from office and arrested for ordering the police to stand down and allow innocent people to be beaten with shovels and clubs.

That is liberals’ good old aggressive tactic, keep slingling accusations at rivals, in order to justify their violence.

How can a foreigner be a nationalist? Milo is here on a Visa.

He’s not white. He’s tanned.

Note to the mayor - a fair percentage of your voters and tax payers are unblack. A majority of your city’s tax revenues come from them and property/business owners (regardless of color) who now see their property under threat from punks.

Keep pissing off the electorate and tax payers, Big Boy. Basic macro economics: No tax revs = no social programs.

“......MILO is demanding a second apology and retraction.”

I am anti-homosexual, they’re gross, BUT MILO is starting to get my attention. He seems to be doing some good, for now.

If you listen to any of Milo's talks, he is pretty gross, in that he is unapologetically and flamboyantly, effeminately homosexual. For example, he'll brag in a lispy voice how many black men he's had inside of him.

That said, he's doing a fine job of highlighting the Left's blind hatred and hypocrisy.

Can we play “20 Questions” about Mayor Arreguin?

1. Is he anti-conservative?
2. Is he anti-white conservative?
3. Is he anti-white gay conservative people?
4. Is he anti-white Jewish gay conservatives?

No need for the other 16 questions is there, if the answer to 1-4 is “YES”.

Wait, news flash. The Mayor likes rich, once pretended to be Jewish, white commies like Bernie (Mr. 3 Houses) Sanders.

Oh I am shocked, shocked I say. Rick, what do you say about this, “Forget it, it’s Chinatown (aka Berkeley)”.

Goodnight David. Goodnight, Chet!

Hey, Milo is playing with the Left’ mind and hypocrisy. Don’t forget, Madonna wanted to give blow jobs to half the country of men who voted for Clinton or their dog, or somebody.

Willing to bet he encouraged the riots. He sure didn't disapprove. Looks like the fastest way to get rid of him is more steaks, ice cream, pizza, and hamrgers with french fries.
