How a 16-year-old took down Milo
Julia closely follows political news from her home in Canada, with a deep interest in American politics. She has been particularly alarmed by the recent rise of Yiannopoulos and others like him. So as soon as she heard Yiannopoulos would speak at CPAC, she was appalled.
Then an old moment popped in her head. She remembered hearing an obscure podcast, in which Yiannopoulos defended the idea of “13-year-olds” having sex with “older men,” arguing that child molestation provided a “sort of ‘coming of age’ relationship” for teenagers.
Her memory was right. She found the July 2016 clip.
She didn’t think she’d have much luck spreading the news herself with her small Twitter following, so she contacted a conservative outlet to get the story out. She figured a liberal outlet would have less credibility among CPAC followers.
She landed on the previously not-very-well-known conservative blog Reagan Battalion, which, after a bit of back and forth, tweeted out the video — leading not just to CPAC canceling Yiannopoulos’s speech, but to Simon & Schuster pulling his already controversial book deal and his resignation from Breitbart.
“I thought it would only get, like, 200 retweets,” Julia said. “I had no idea that it would blow up to the extent that it did.”
It ended up at thousands of retweets.

With liberals all that matters is immorality permitted. Everything is predicated on that concept.
I agree 100%. Thanks for the reply
Wait...
You mean Evan McMullen is a 16 year old Canadian girl?
Does he use that cover identity when he is visiting his ISIS buddies in Syria and Libya?? That could get interesting.
And it also makes me sad that so many FReepers are STILL falling for the #NeverTrumper and leftist MSM meme rather than Milo’s own words IN CONTEXT and his later further clarification.
Lots of trials and tribulations have come and gone on FR and I’m sure this too shall pass.
So very true. Also have to watch out for subversive messages in TV programming.
“What have you done to stop the persecution of conservative kids on college campuses?”
NOTHING. That’s how it should be. It will make them stronger. How about you ask “max, what have you done in Hollywood aka Paramount which helps conservatives?” I don’t see anyone for the past 8 years giving me sympathy.
I wish that I could be as confident as you are, but I know that when the enemy can not destroy a great work from the outside - they will find a way to do it from within. There are enemies in the camp and they are using the idea that an immoral homosexual can be more effective at reaching children then the truth that worked for you and I.
A rift is forming and I am sounding the alarm though it may cost me.
The Internet needs to have it’s tubes tied...
I have no "fundamental disagreement" with Milo. What have you done to confront and fight the left on college campuses? Lets see your YouTube videos.
I support Milo’s right to free speech and association.
I do not support his positions on such things.
This is a result of decades of secular “fiscal conservatives” who despise true conservatives and true Christians.
If you are only a fiscal conservative, then you are not a conservative at all; you are merely selfish.
Please post links to the YouTube videos of your numerous TV appearances defending Trump and of your campus appearances confronting left wing thugs.
Milo does NOT think pedophilia is acceptable. Quite the opposite. He calls it a crime.

I could....if I was a pedophile faggot. Are you mad that your homo hero got ass handed to him/her/whatever?
Idiot girl. Milo was a victim rationalizing his experience in a way that didn’t make him crazy. Milo has realized it now. Though this rationalization, gay pederasty has continued but it is a lie. All adults need to stay clear of underaged kids and everyone needs to realize it was wrong no matter what their young teen minds thought at the time.
She’s a teen so she doesn’t get it, either. It’s a tough concept.
I agree.
I am an ordained minister, and a social as well as fiscal conservative.
I have had numerous interactions with homoerotic persons, and have treated them with respect.
That does not mean that I accept that their choice is innate; I do not, and no one can make me say that it is.
I support Milo’s free speech and free association. I do not support his lifestyle, and I am wary of his influence on the conservative movement.
Milo was bringing the truth to campuses in a way thet people were responding to and it threatened the left so they had to take him down. Unfortunately, there are a lot of fake and cuckold "conservatives" that were more than happy to let them do it.
Yeah, I am. So you admit you are just a keyboard warrior who delights in helping the left take down genuinely threatening pro Trump warriors.
I am seeing ‘cuckold’ being tossed around rather freely.
Care to define it in the context of this discussion?
