I'm not defending the recent Milo video but has anyone pointed out the group behind the released video clips and targeted attack appear to be a "Never Trump" organization. If you go to https://www.facebook.com/ReaganBattalion/ and click the "About" page, and the contact us link you go to this dead link: http://www.stopdonaldtrumppac.com/
Who is this new group? And who supports them?
My question is, who is funding these NeverTrump publications?
Their subscriber and pageview numbers fell off a cliff since they came out as NeverTrump.
Is it tech billionaires who are keeping their lights on?
Would like to know whose mouthpiece these flacks are.
I PDF’d all their posts. ;-)
The caterpillars, I am sure, are all over this.
Bingo
And the attacks will not stop, ever.
Pretty sly of those fake conservatives to co-opt the Reagan name..!
Very devious.
Attack was pre-planned awhile ago (the tape was from 2016).
WAPO was behind the scenes shilling for Milo to become DT's press secretary, so when the bomb dropped, it would be for maximum effect on the WH.
Elites decided not to wait due to the increasing influence Milo is having on the college campuses
Here’s what Milo said on FaceBook;

I am a gay man, and a child abuse victim.
I would like to restate my utter disgust at adults who sexually abuse minors. I am horrified by pedophilia and I have devoted large portions of my career as a journalist to exposing child abusers. I’ve outed three of them, in fact — three more than most of my critics. And I’ve repeatedly expressed disgust at pedophilia in my feature and opinion writing. My professional record is very clear.
But I do understand that these videos, even though some of them are edited deceptively, paint a different picture.
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.
As to some of the specific claims being made, sometimes things tumble out of your mouth on these long, late-night live-streams, when everyone is spit-balling, that are incompletely expressed or not what you intended. Nonetheless, I’ve reviewed the tapes that appeared last night in their proper full context and I don’t believe they say what is being reported.
I do not advocate for illegal behavior. I explicitly say on the tapes that I think the current age of consent is “about right.”
I do not believe sex with 13-year-olds is okay. When I mentioned the number 13, I was talking about the age I lost my own virginity.
I shouldn’t have used the word “boy” — which gay men often do to describe young men of consenting age — instead of “young man.” That was an error.
I am certainly guilty of imprecise language, which I regret.
Anyone who suggests I turn a blind eye to illegal activity or to the abuse of minors is unequivocally wrong. I am implacably opposed to the normalization of pedophilia and I will continue to report and speak accordingly.

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.”

Yup. Milo was peaking, even getting some measure of respect from Lefists like Bill Maher. The Berkeley incident was a huge loss for the Left, exposing their hatred of free speech. So the stupid party shuts down Milo’s free speech and hands his head to the Left.
This was an old tape on a raunchy podcast. Milo says crazy shit all the time. But he has been a warrior for MAGA while the cucks preferred Hillary to keep their globalist “conservatism” going.
Milo is NOT a pedo; self described libtard...he was sexually assaulted as a child. He condemns pedophilia.
Beware though, the "Milo is a sodomite!" crowd will show up soon and start trolling.
Count on it.
I personally know a Christian conservative family who went from voting for Gary Johnson to supporting Trump because of Milo. I dated a mom whose college son heard Milo speak in defense of Trump and MAGA. Milo was doing things like this while the Ben Shapiros and Mark Levins were helping Hillary get elected. F the cucks I’m with Milo. He clarified and gets my benefit of the doubt. No way I’m tossing him aside after all the arrows he took for Trump while too many supposed conservatives tried to lose
I don’t care who pointed out that Milo is into homo sex with underage boys. I’m glad we know.
the guy was on line talking about his own experience of being gay he mentioned how important he felt for some men who were gay an older relationship was. basically a 17 year old with some one who was 28 years old. as far as I am concerned inappropriate but not pedophilia. knowing how about 20 percent of the conservative movement mostly evangelicals disagree strongly with the gay life style. the extreme left decided to use a neocon front group to paint a narrative that Milo is a pedophile something that is evil and unforgivable. the reason this was done is insidious. one of the truth within the homosexual community is that a lot of pedophiles hide with in the community. it was the hopes of the liberals that they could take advantage of this truth to paint Milo as a man interested in prepubescent boys and in doing this cut him off from all the support systems he has.
any one arguing how evil homosexuality is. I am not going to argue. I am only going to say. I wont destroy his over all message of how bad political correctness is because of something like homosexuality. I don’t understand it but I know the difference between homosexuality and pedophilia witch in my opinion is about as evil as it gets.
Wow this has been a story all day and you think Milo said he is into underage boys. Just wow.
Milo is erudite, uses a vocabulary that is often waaaaaaaay above many ( even the supposed "well educated" American ), is able to think on his feet better than most, and though he can be a tad "blue", at times, sans his sexual orientation, he is the GEN Yers' William F. Buckley; as difficulty as that might be, for some here to grasp!
In many different ways, he's quite a paradox and that rattles many American "cages"/sensibilities; though not mine.
Get someone with better reading comprehension skills to explain it to you.
Salem Media Group...and a few others like them.
Milo said nothing untrue in that video. He spoke certain words and did not observe certain PC requirements of the Left and therefore the left simply “interpreted” what he said.
