chiirbii 4,760 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Less than an hour before a scheduled press conference in New York's SoHo neighborhood Tuesday afternoon, alt-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos announced he was resigning from Breitbart, the right-wing news site that hosted much of his outlandish writing. "Breitbart News has stood by me when others caved," Yiannopoulos said in a statement. "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. This decision is mine alone." Click here to view the Tweet The "poor choice of words" is likely in reference to Yiannopoulos' turbulent weekend, in which several videos resurfaced of the professional internet troll defending sexual relationships between men and underage boys. "People are messy and complex and actually, in the homosexual world particularly, some of those relationships between younger boys and older men, those coming-of-age relationships, the relationships in which those older men have helped those young boys to discover who they are and give them security and safety and provide them with love and a reliable, a rock, where they can't speak to their parents," Yiannopoulos says in the video. When an off-screen voice suggests what he described sounds like molestation, Yiannopoulos responds: "I'm grateful for Father Michael. I wouldn't give nearly such good head if it wasn't for him." Two sources had told a Washingtonian reporter over the holiday weekend that, in light of the pedophilia defenses, at least six Breitbart employees were threatening to walk from their jobs if Yiannopoulos wasn't fired. Also on Monday, publisher Simon & Schuster dropped Yiannopoulos' upcoming book, Dangerous, which was set for release in June. The pedophilia comments also caused the America Conservative Union to drop Yiannopoulos as a speaker at its annual conference, CPAC, on right-wing Washington's biggest to-dos. Earlier in the weekend, the former Breitbart editor was riding high. He appeared on Bill Maher's late-night HBO show, Real Time, on Friday night, and his CPAC speech was announced the following morning. https://mic.com/articles/169163/milo-yiannopoulos-resigns-from-breitbart#.HZEgAs4yI Breitbart's statement on Milo's resignation: Click here to view the Tweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solfa 7,163 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 No, Milo, you weren't mature enough to understand. You were sexually abused by a 40 year old man when you were 14, even if you don't like to call it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

愛��る 627 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 No, Milo, you weren't mature enough to understand. You were sexually abused by a 40 year old man when you were 14, even if you don't like to call it that way. When I heard that, that's exactly what I thought. I've never been 100% Milo, so I think a lot of his provocateur-ness is catching up on him. I think Black Pigeon Speaks' video is the best on this whole situation.

mochichan 12,341 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Putting aside him being a completely shitty and irresponsible person, it's still sad he was molested and this is his way of coping with it....however giving him a platform after what he said which is essentially encouraging molestation and pedophilia telling gay kids that it's ok older man wants you....along with all other problematic things he spread so I'm glad his ass got shut down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
