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.

The Milo take-down was an indirect hit at Trump by the MSM and #NeverTrump jackwagons.
Despite one’s views of Milo, he helped to reveal the Democrat Thug Party in true form, and further reveal how both the MSM and #NeverTrump jackwagons fail to recognize nor mention the severity of the war being waged against our Constitutional rights — especially the offenses being waged on campuses around the Country; offenses that must not go unchallenged.
Regarding Milo’s downfall, he supplied the rope with his reckless, sexual rhetoric. And while it’s not our responsibility to mitigate the consequences of his expressed carnality, it is our responsibility to hit back against those intruding on our mutual Constitutional rights — and hit very hard.
A bit off topic, but Milo has publicly mentioned that he just might do that. From past experience, i have rarely seen him joke about something that he claims that he will do in the future.
DISCLAIMER:
i do not personally endorse so-called conversion therapy and would not recommend any gay person seek it out. The major reason is that it doesn't work.
However i do NOT believe it should be banned in the US or anywhere else. What a person volunteers for is their business and none of mine as long as it harms nobody else.
“Me thinks he (you) protests too much.”
Yeah.
Let’s just dump all our fighters, roll over and die.
Paramount? You have MY sympathy.
That's a narrow view of the world, and indicates you really don't understand what conservatism means.
Didn’t say that.
Maybe stop responding to what people post from an emotional level of a preteen girl.
Breitbart should never have gotten involved with him in the first place given his perverse lifestyle. It isnt a minor thing to overlook.
I will also say I hope he keeps attacking the left and doing what he does, and i hope he turns away from the homosexual lifestyle. He can keep doing his work without Breitbart.
And Breitbart has freedom of association to work with who they want to as well. If they would have pissed off milo about something and he left, would you say he couldn’t sever ties with Breitbart?
So a 16 year old girl reported Milo and Vox, a liberal mouthpiece is now giving her a glowing review and you don’t smell anything bad here?
The quote I read that I was told got Milo chased off said nothing about kids.
Well I guess if all you want is the moral high ground, you got it.
But the left took your country in exchange for it. :)
Gee, a gay who attacks liberals runs a hit story against him because they can, and this sounds funny to you?
Why do we need to align with sexual deviants to do the work all comservative journalists ought to be doing? Maybe we keep,our principles and just attack harder rather than compromise and let people with sexually immoral values do the fighting for us?
Or have you already abandoned the ideas comservatives have held that homosexuality is gross, a moral perversion, hedonistic anti-family at its core, and extremely unhealthy and life-shortening?
Jesus was roundly condemned by the Pharisees for associating with sinners. I think we have a few people here who would make really good Pharisees...
But hey, facts are irrelevant when the Rules for Radicals are in play.
Truth! Spot on!
They were so afraid of him, the hysterical fanatics on the left tried to burn their own campus down to prevent him from speaking.
Milo is fearless and I am very grateful for it. If half his so called "conservative" detractors had the stones to take the battle to the left, like he does every week, we wouldn't need a wall because illegals would be too afraid to step foot in the US.
Ginsburg also wanted to get rid of the “Mann Law” or something. The law makes it illegal to take a woman (person?) of any age across state lines against her will for illicit sexual purposes. So basically - she's for sex trafficking.
Oh yeah, right, it was all just luck of the draw for this to have been pushed by Evan McMuffin’s little front organization, just a coincidence, sheer random chance, lol.
And older school boys. They will rape younger boys—the boys who were being groomed and raped by men. Charles Manson was raped and raped younger boys.
No, he does not. You quite obviously have not read or researched or viewed his many speeches and writings. He was talking about his own experience at the time of having been seduced by a Catholic priest. He is as wounded by this experience as a soldier who comes home without legs.
This incident may help him heal; but for conservatives to pile on based on rumor and not on fact is not going to help him get all the way to right thinking -- it may push him to the other side like David Brock. Please don't repeat gossip. He has done amazing things for the millenials.
Just,stating whats been reported and posted here.
As per milo, i hope he does get right and gets out of the gay lifestyle. Until then he isnt someone to be considered a vanguard for conservatives, hes got a character opposition to conservative and christian foundational beliefs. Its like an active drunk driver going out and promoting/advocating for AA. Thats someone you dont align with, but you hope they get better.
