Boy, you sure hate him.

He is/was a terrific asset to our side.

Let’s not forget that Trump gave Peter Thiel a prime speaking spot at the convention.

I am pro-Trump and pro his administration and ignore his distractors and his feeble friends like Milo who embarrassingly calls him “Daddy”. I guess you like that, right? Give me Diamond and Silk, anyday. Americans with that great, brash sense of humor!

I do not hate Milo but I don’t respect him either. Perhaps if other freepers knew the gay community like I do, they’d be a little skeptical of this guy as I am.

Milo Yiannopoulos has been disinvited from the he Conservative Political Action Committee conference because of his comments on gay relationships between boys and older men.

The conservative firebrand was told he will not be able to attend the event this weekend by Matt Schlapp, chairman of the American Conservative Union.

He released a statement on Monday saying his invite was ‘rescinded’ after the ‘offensive’ video surfaced.

‘We realize that Mr. Yiannopoulos has responded on Facebook, but it is insufficient, he added.

‘It is up to him to answer the tough questions and we urge him to immediately further address these disturbing comments.’

Their move comes just hours after Yiannopoulos strongly denied that he was defending pedophilia with his comments.

On Monday, he wrote on Facebook: ‘I’m partly to blame. My own experiences as a victim led me to believe I could say anything I wanted to on this subject, no matter how outrageous.

‘But I understand that my usual blend of British sarcasm, provocation and gallows humor might have come across as flippancy, a lack of care for other victims or, worse, “advocacy.” I deeply regret that. People deal with things from their past in different ways.’

Milo Yiannopoulos claimed he was not defending pedophilia when he said some younger boys could benefit by coming involved in a consensual relationship with an older man. He has now been banned from speaking at the Conservative Political Action Committee conference

Beitbart’s News Editor was taking part in a debate between several American men, one of whom was wearing a superhero-style mask, when he defended ‘coming of age’ relationships.

A five-minute edited tape of the discussion was posted online forcing the controversial media star to clarify his comments.

Yiannopoulos was due to address the annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington this weekend.

After the footage was released, conservatives called for him to be banned.

During the online discussion, Yiannopoulos said: ‘This is a controversial view, I accept. But we get caught up in this whole child abuse thing even to the extent we are policing consensual relationships between consenting adults, such as grad students and professors at universities.

‘The whole consent thing is not as black and white as people try and paint it.’

Yiannopoulos agreed that the age of consent was ‘roughly’ at the right age.
Yiannopoulos wrote a second apology on Facebook on Monday. He said that he was abused as a child and felt he could speak freely on the topic

He continued: ‘There are certainly people who are capable of giving consent at a younger age. I would certainly consider myself to be one of them, people who are sexually active younger.

‘I think it particularly happens in the gay world, by the way. In many cases… actually, those relationships… this is one of the reasons I hate the left. This one-size-fits-all policing of culture. This arbitrary and oppressive idea of consent, which totally destroys, you know, the understanding that many of us have, of the complexities, subtleties and complicated nature of many relationships.

‘People are messy and complex, particularly in the homosexual world. Some of those relationships between younger boys and older men, the sort of “coming of age” relationships, the relationships in which those older men help those young boys to discover who they are, and give them security and safety and provide them with love and a reliable rock where they can’t speak to their parents.’

Yiannopoulos said: ‘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. Pedophilia is an attraction to people who don’t have functioning sex organs yet, who have not gone through puberty, who are too young to understand about the bodies. That is not what we are talking about.

‘You don’t understand what pedophilia is if you thing (sic) I’m defending it, because I’m certainly not.’

Sorry, Milo. Thirteen is NOT mature for anyone and a relationship between an adult and a child of that age = sex abuse.

Hebephile is sexual attraction to someone just entering puberty (young teen).

Milo today posted he himself was a victim of child sexual abuse. Was it a relationship of the type which he endorsed in his above statement?

Milo should repudiate his previous comment and was rightly disinvited from CPAC.

Ironic that he made the mistake of actually revealing the inner workings of the homosexual community — young boys’turned out’ by older men. (We’ve read about the Hollywood parties where this is done.)

I had not seen the above quotations until this evening and, yes, they are way out of line.

You can draw your own conclusions, but did want to share the information that’s out there as otherwise we might be getting a ‘fake news’ spin.

Don’t hate Milo - don’t even know how to pronounce his name - as I have never read, watched, listened to him, I just watch FR’s dalliance with him.

I regard him as a useful idiot who may try to break up and out of that nomenclature. More power to him if he does.
