The story of Milo Yiannopoulos’s fall from conservative grace ended when a conservative blog posted video footage of him making comments that seemed to rationalize pedophilia. But it started when a 16-year-old high school student in Canada decided Yiannopoulos was embraced much too closely by mainstream conservatives.
The teen was moved to dig up footage on Yiannopoulos when she heard that he’d been invited to speak at the highest profile gathering of conservatives each year in America, the 2017 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). She defines herself as “very socially liberal,” but leans right on economics and foreign policy. Yiannopoulos, who has built his personal brand on anti-Muslim, anti-feminism, and general bigotry, exemplifies the place where she doesn’t believe the conservative movement should go.
“I see Milo as this embodiment of the awfulness you see over the past few years with the general tilt of millennial conservatism,” said the teen. “It’s diverged from this traditional conservatism so much. You’ve seen it essentially become full of awfulness and all about attacking the left and not about actual principles. It has nothing to do with conservative ideology so much as it has with opposing the leftists, SJWs, and so on and so forth.”
Within days of his old statements coming to light, Yiannopoulos lost his spot at CPAC, his book deal, and his job at the ultra-conservative website Breitbart.
I am keeping the teen’s name and social media accounts out of the story because of her and her parents’ request to protect her safety, and will only refer to her as “Julia.” But we have confirmed her identity and her communications with the conservative blog that resurfaced the Yiannopoulos tape for a wide audience.
Many critics have tried and failed to take Yiannopoulos down, from feminists to other liberals who despise

Thank you for posting this!
To be honest, what this all reminds me of is when Glenn Beck was riding high on FR. You couldn’t say a word against him because if you did you were a fake conservative, a lib and a hater. I know. I disliked a distrusted him from the beginning and got hammered for it.
Homowood has successfully marketed homosexuals to the general public, including Glenn. There is nothing gay or normal about this disease.
They know that the majority of folks in the country haven’t ever come across a very gay man or his “community.” And some of those who do, like suburban moms (a la red hat ladies) tend to think they are “cute.” They are not cute.
Milo was a pedofag.
On this thread alone, you can see which FREEPERS support this ass muncher.
Yeah. VandeKoik, Katya, 867... Are some of the biggest homophiles on here, esp the Vandekoik.
Vandekoik? Yeah. Add the biggest fag lovers and closet homos here eveningstar, gaijin, southern rock, dp96022 et al. I guess to them it’s totally okay to go full faggot with another man.
Yes, gaijin and the dp guy made many comments eulogizing milo. It was sickening to think they pretend to be freepers.
Good afternoon.
“who has built his personal brand on...”
I have never thought of having a “personal brand.”
My company’s brand, but not a personal one.
I oughta start a thread to ask FReepers what personal brand I should have.
