According to Townhall’s and frequent Fox News contributor Guy Benson, controversial Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos has been disinvited from speaking at the upcoming Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in DC, a report that was quickly confirmed by the ACU Chair.
Milo will be disinvited from #CPAC, I’ve just been told.

Yiannopoulos’ initial invitation drew criticism, especially after a questionable clip emerged on social media revealing the Breitbart editor appearing to at least “advocate” for pedophilia. The clip, which was first put online by The Reagan Battalion, quickly made the rounds Sunday; Yiannopoulos says in the video:
Giving head to a catholic priest after we had reached puberty is a lot different
from discussing giving head to a catholic priest after we had reached puberty in an interview.
Band camp, deer camp, Catholic church, Las Vegas...
What happens there stays there.
MILO banned from CPAC! https://t.co/ufogQXIuJO— Mike Cernovich 🇺🇸 (@Cernovich) February 20, 2017
Well said, VikingMom.
Pedophilia is sexual attraction to prepubescent children. That is not what he was advocating.
We live in the age of the real drive-by media, far worse than when Rush coined the phrase.
Doesn’t matter if it’s Milo, Pewdiepie, or Trump.
The attempt to take them out wont work. It’s old school media trying to take down people with platforms independent of them.
I've never been a supporter of faggotry.
So I've got that going for me, which is nice.
You are halfway there. And I bet you raise your kids well. But with all your wonderful examples and teaching, if your teens are left alone, at s time in their life when their sex drives and hormones are more powerful than hunger for French fries and burgers, EVIL MEN will step in with their sex drives and take over your kids. The kids just sometimes don’t have the strength nor the wisdom to overcome that.
Full supervision of older teens is impossible. but we can do a lot better as a society that what we do now. Both parents at work all day. Sometimes even gone at night. We need to do better to protect them.
It was definitely a timed hit piece. And CPAC folded like a cheap suit like the perennial losers they are. Thinking they have some high moral ground they just emboldened the Left
Good for you, you have douchery down tho..congrats
Yeah, but not if they want to molest kids.
Actually a lot more than that but I'm pretty intolerant.
Tolerance is shite.
No, there are a lot of people on FR who are not quick to condemn when all the facts are not in. We also believe in listening and reserving judgment until the person maligned has had a chance to answer the charges. In my opinion Milo has offered a very able defense against the defamation smeared on his character.
This is not about Milo per se it is about bringing Trump down.
They should re-invite him on the condition that he devote his speech to discussing in detail Epstein’s Pedo Island and Pizzagate.
That’s pretty sick if he said it .
Milo is a threat to the GOPe, so he had to be ‘removed’.
Milo had clearly stated he doesn’t support pedophilia, and gave several examples of stopping specific pedophiles. Does context matter?
I just read through this thread, I’m surprised at the number of people who were willing to convict Milo without even looking at his side. I read his Facebook page and I really don’t see that he was advocating pedophilia in any way.
I judge my friends on who they are inside, I’ve never cared about anything else. I really am not interesting in hearing about what goes on behind closed doors of gay friends, but to be honest, I don’t care to hear the details about what goes on in the bedrooms of my straight friends either.
I watched the YouTube video of Milo in his Pro-Life talk at one of the universities, he was one of the most terrific speakers I have ever heard, he was funny, engaging, and go more information to those young people than anyone I have ever seen.
Thank you!
Thank you. He can’t defend himself and the lies on twitter as we know. Sadly, Milo will get more and more attacks. As Mike says he needs to get ahead of this well planned attack.
Yup, and now Milo may be finished. Where do those listening ears go, to creepy mama boy Jonah Goldberg or droll pompous Ben Shapiro?
