LIVE STREAM: Milo Yiannapoulos Holds a Press Conference. In a statement published minutes ago, Yiannopoulos said, Breitbart News has stood by me when others caved, continuing, I would be wrong to allow my poor choice of words to detract from my colleagues important reporting, so today I am resigning from Breitbart, effective immediately. After Yiannopoulos was slated to speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), a video of him discussing pedophilia made the rounds on Twitter and earned pretty widespread condemnation.
Yiannopoulos responded to the outcry insisting that he has an utter disgust [for] adults who sexually abuse minors while acknowledging that these videos, even though some of them are edited deceptively, paint a different picture.
Hours after CPAC uninvited him on Monday, Simon & Schuster cancelled the publication of Yiannopouloss highly-anticipated book Dangerous; Matt Schlapp, the chair of the American Conservative Union, said Tuesday morning, Over the weekend I was made aware of these comments and it just broke through very important boundaries and we felt like the CPAC stage was not an appropriate place for this any longer.
You shall know a Christian by the fruit they produce. I have never heard Milo profess Christ - and he does not show fruit.
Hot teacher/young boy being the exception.
“Would you hire him to cook for you or watch your kids?”
In a heartbeat I would. He’s done more to expose the Left in this country in the last 90 days than you will in your entire life.

I can see some issues with Milo holding his job in light of these comments.
I’m not going to hold this against Breitbart. I understand.
And maybe that is how he views this sad occurrences that happened to him. I don’t get, I can’t see it the same way, but he sees it that way, so go figure.
But let me say this.
I’ma say this out loud and in a public forum so...
I was molested twice as a child. Once by an adult, the husband of the day care lady I had in 1st in 2nd grade. He molested every single male child there, and that was a lot of them. When I told my mom what happened, the Catholic school I attended at the time protected him. Terrible.
I was also molested by another male child around the time I was 7. I am quite certain, thinking about the times this occurred, that he was molested by his dad, in fact I am certain of it, and then the boy turned that same behavior to me.
This boy, a few years later, died as the result of a car accident in Mexico, and a few years later after that, his dad killed himself. Sad story.
Many years later, when I was about roughly 30 or so, I had a major pass made at me by a male Episcopalian priest. Dude was apparently a total fag, even though he was married with kids. Very sadly, he was also the former disciplinarian at a school for troubled boys, so you can imagine what might have happened there. Bastard. He’s dead of diabetes now, so good riddance to the likes of him.
So despite these things occurring to me, I am not gay. I’m very thankful for that, and I do not view any of these experiences as good things as Milo seem to view what happened to him.
I don’t know what the difference is, but there it is.
I’m just choosing to forgive Milo. I don’t want to hold malice against him. It isn’t going to make me feel better to see him destroyed. I’m sure he’s had a tough life in many respects, so I’m not going to add to it.
I think what I want to do is say a prayer for him.
The thief on the cross cried out to the Lord Jesus in a very clear voice. It was Jesus Christ Himself who drew the thief unto Him. Milo has shown no such proclamation of faith. Quite the opposite, in fact. He openly mocks God’s Word.
I won’t be a party in your judgment. I’ve found life goes much better when I assume others are as saved as I think I am. Not going back under the heavy yoke of judging others.
Thanks.
My fear is that the crazies in Berkeley who drove Milo out and did all the damage now may think they have been vindicated.
Milo says some crazy things, but he really “gets” what is going on with free speech/ the press and the political process in this country.
Thanks CPAC for supporting “free speech”...NOT!
Thank you.
Gotcha. You applaud queers.
And you know all about my life.. but queers too.
You have a broad knowledge base and should start a blog.
Kind of a gay psychic blog...
“The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
It’s not hard to see why that little pearl of wisdom is lost on someone so full of hatred as you.
No go back to your duties, Cartman. The grown ups have work to do.

They are not vindicated.
They are much worse than him. They committed actual crimes, and they behaved as fascists while accusing others of being fascists.
They’re despicable.
Milo committed no crime.
he simply said some unfortunate things that didn’t go over well, and no it’s costing him big time.
At least Milo is engaging in a dialogue about what he said and is capable of being talked to.
The crazies can’t be talked to. They’re nucking futs.
Probably because you have not listened to him at all.
God bless you, brother.
I’m knocking down your straw man......
.....the First Amendment still stands.....
....and yes, words, ideas, suggestions can have consequences
I think that is the main take home point from this entire ordeal.
It was a political assasination, like what happened to Flynn just before. Bannon would be the big one. Well after Trump himself that is.
Whatever you say.
You’re mad because I dislike queers.
Perfectly clear.
Maybe his mouth was full and he was unintelligible.
And you would be wrong. Proof is up to you with a link...
Agreed.
It was bad enough that the Cucks of CPAC tried to torpedo our President, but for Breitbart to cave like this after enjoying the benefits of Milo's association with them, and endorse the hypocrisy of the left's "grab the pussy" tactics is unconscionable.
