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:
I’ve never understood the appeal of this guy to any conservative - how is homoeroticism so appealing to conservatives? Went to his YouTube page recently as I’ve never followed this guy all that closely and well, he’s kind of out there.
Although the insanity of the Left at Berkely in going on a violent rampage of vandalism simply because he was going to show up and speak from a stage did make him seem quite sensible by comparison.
He's a real hero, alright.
MmmHmm.
I hope people review his Facebook posts about this. He also exposed 3 pedophiles, some of which are getting prosecuted, so I would reserve judgement.
Dinesh D’Souza just gave a talk this weekend discussing how the Conservatives are losing the culture war and Trump’s rise could reverse that, making Trump a big threat.
Don’t think that the lefties aren’t out to silence Milo because he is going after the younger hipper voter.
The left needs Milo to disappear...fast. And they will do it with the help of the Conservatives.
This is also another roundabout way to attack... Breitbart.
Watch this unfold.
Be accurate and fair. Milo said on his Facebook page that
1) the term “boy” in homosexual jargon does not mean “underage” but is just a common term;
2) He has disavowed any and all sex with minors.
It’s important that we include all of the information on this.
He is a Homosexual.
He said “in the Homosexual world” which is the world he lives in and has experienced.
How this turned into advocating Child Molestation is nothing more than an attempt to destroy him, (by Gays and Straights Liberals BTW) due to his Conservative stance on Issues and his support of President Trump. Now CPAC is piling on, the same people that banished Ann Coulter after she ridiculed The Silk Pony Edwards in a Speech there.
The only person who knew what Milo meant is him and there is a whole lot of wiggle room for everyone to dissect his comment.
Good thing he didn’t say look what happened in Sweden last night. That would have been another scandal.
What makes me laugh is when we have a story of a 27 Year Old hot looking Female Teacher doing the deed with a 17 Year Old Boy, the words Innocent, I’d hit it or where was she when I was in High School are all over Free Republic.
“I believe it’s a coping mechanism, as if the mind tries to convince itself that it really wanted the molestation to happen in the first place.”
That’s part of it, but the disorder is induced by the trauma. This mechanism is pretty well known wrt other disorders, but they can’t admit it with SSAD.
Milo addressed this on his Facebook page and completely repudiated what was said.
I know he did not say it was alright for grown men to be sexually attracted to prepubescent boys or girls. Which would be pedophilia. I believe, if they are referring to a certain clip I saw, this is about Milo saying ““So you’re saying you’ve never seen a 15-year-old girl, at any point in your life, that you thought was hot?”
Now here is the big dark secret that the Left will not discuss what Milo said regarding relations between sexually mature teens and older men being a sort of mentoring. That is very, very typical in gay culture. When ever there is a push to lower the age of consent gays are usually the loudest advocates for that change.
Milo did write, “I do not support pedophilia. Period. It is a vile and disgusting crime, perhaps the very worst. There are selectively edited videos doing the rounds, as part of a co-ordinated effort to discredit me from establishment Republicans, that suggest I am soft on the subject.”
Do I think 13 year olds should be having sex at all? No. But it is very hypocritical to keep telling 13 year olds that it is their right to have consensual sex as long as they are protected against disease and pregnancy. To make available to them without their parents consent contraceptives and even abortion. To direct them to Planned Parenthood information on sexuality and present all the information their as being morally valid.
[[But it’s also trying to minimize that trauma of being molested by trying to “normalize” it,]]
I understand, but in the end, they are just an excuse for caving in to sin by violating the universal moral code written on the heart, and embracing something that is an abomination in the sight of the Lord- Btu this is true for most sins- We tend to want to justify them somehow- but then again, many sins aren’t abominations- All sin is bad- but some sins are blatant violations of the natural order

A note for idiots (UPDATED):
I do not support pedophilia. Period. It is a vile and disgusting crime, perhaps the very worst. There are selectively edited videos doing the rounds, as part of a co-ordinated effort to discredit me from establishment Republicans, that suggest I am soft on the subject.
If it somehow comes across (through my own sloppy phrasing or through deceptive editing) that I meant any of the ugly things alleged, let me set the record straight: I am completely disgusted by the abuse of children.
Some facts to consider:
1. I have outed THREE pedophiles in my career as a journalist. That’s three more than any of my critics and a peculiar strategy for a supposed pedophile apologist.
(a) Luke Bozier, former business partner of Louise Mensch
http://kernelmag.dailydot.com/…/menshn-co-founder-embroile…/
http://kernelmag.dailydot.com/…/…/3746/luke-bozier-arrested/
(b) Nicholas Nyberg, anti-GamerGate activist who self-described as a pedophile and white nationalist
http://www.breitbart.com/…/leading-gamergate-critic-sarah-…/
(c) Chris Leydon, a London photographer who has a rape trial starting March 13 thanks to my reporting.
http://www.breitbart.com/…/tech-city-darling-chris-leydon-…/
2. I have repeatedly expressed disgust at pedophiles in my journalism.
http://www.breitbart.com/…/heres-why-the-progressive-left-…/
3. I have never defended and would never defend child abusers, as my reporting history shows. The world is messy and complicated, and I recognize it as such, as this furore demonstrates. But that is a red line for any decent person.
4. The videos do not show what people say they show. I *did* joke about giving better head as a result of clerical sexual abuse committed against me when I was a teen. If I choose to deal in an edgy way on an internet livestream with a crime I was the victim of that’s my prerogative. It’s no different to gallows humor from AIDS sufferers.
5. National Review, whose journalists are tweeting about this, published an article defending Salon for giving a pedophile a platform.
6. I did say that there are relationships between younger men and older men that can help a young gay man escape from a lack of support or understanding at home. That’s perfectly true and every gay man knows it. But I was not talking about anything illegal and I was not referring to pre-pubescent boys.
7. I said in the same “Drunken Peasants” podcast from which the footage is taken that I agree with the current age of consent.
8. I shouldn’t have used the word “boy” when I talked about those relationships between older men and younger gay men. (I was talking about my own relationship when I was 17 with a man who was 29. The age of consent in the UK is 16.) That was a mistake. Gay men often use the word “boy” when they refer to consenting adults. I understand that heterosexual people might not know that, so it was a sloppy choice of words that I regret.
9. This rush to judgment from establishment conservatives who hate Trump as much as they hate me, before I have had any chance to provide context or a response, is one of the big reasons gays vote Democrat.
10. In case there is any lingering doubt, here’s me, in the same interview the other footage is taken from, affirming that the current legal age of consent is about right: “And I think the law is probably about right. It’s probably roughly the right age. I think it’s probably about ok. But there are certainly people who are capable of giving consent at a younger age. I certainly consider myself to be one of them, people who were sexually active younger. I think it particularly happens in the gay world, by the way.”
Good response, too.
I bet those suddenly being shocked by what he said are silent about all the experts moving to have pedophilia regarded as just another sexual orientation.
Remember the article published in one magazine written by a self proclaimed safe pedophile? He was trying convince readers that his attraction was not wrong because he had never acted on it.
Thanks. I was just about to do that.
He can be very explicit in describing his lifestyle, so if you wish to avoid hearing about it, you might want to pass.
Good points post 85. This guy deserves the benefit of the doubt. This is an attack on Breitbart, Trump, and MAGA. A hit job on a top soldier in the battle by the same pious conservatives who preferred Hillary over Trump
This. He would not have been my first choice, but having made the choice they should stick with him. Milo regularly goes into the most totalitarian, anti-free speech venues in the country and defends free speech.
And these NeverTrump Neocons who had their knives out for him for most part were all for gay marriage and not very troubled by the Supreme Court imposing it on the country by diktat!
Milo is just a pawn in the larger chess game of the Left and the Neocons trying to remove Trump from the presidency. The Neocons would be perfectly happy with a President Pence.
I’d trust him with my kids more than I would trust Lindsey Graham.....
I listened for about a minute. That’s about all I could take.
I think Milo is a brilliant and charming yet very troubled young man. I hope and pray he opens up his heart to the power of God’s healing....what a testimony he will have!
In the meantime, I suspect these sordid comments will give validation to those wanting to shut his speaking gigs down. Too bad CPAC wasn’t aware of this before booking him - really difficult to justify this behaviour just because he agrees with the right politically.
Bracelets and swishy hands will do that.
