Yiannopoulos took to Facebook Sunday night to answer his critics and specifically address a video that’s been circulating that accuses him of supporting sexual relationships between underage boys and men:

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 . . . Milo Yiannopoulos
Milo shares that he was subject to clerical sexual abuse as a teen, yet he maintains his Catholicism. When challenged by Maher on bu#@it thinking . . . his comeback . . .
. . . "Everyone is capable of bullshit thinking, thats OK. Its a characteristic of the modern left I think requiring this absolute consistency forgetting that people are messy and complicated and forgetting some also other obvious truths."
He’s more of a man than Lindsey Graham...
I’m betting that Milo will be treated by conservatives better than he was treated by UC Berkley.
I doubt there will be any fires set, any attendees beaten, or any death threats made by conservatives.
The white supremacist/neo-nazi smear didn’t stick, so it looks like they’ve switched tactics and gone for the ‘Milo is a paedophile’ angle.
They are going bonkers over Milo being on Maher. True, Maher seemed totally infatuated.
Milo is enjoying fame and fortune right now thanks entirely to the actions of a gaggle of balaclava-wearing lefties who decided to burn the place down when he showed up at Berkeley to speak.
Naturally, the response by the Left is to blame Milo Yiannopolous for showing up.
Even though some might not like him at all, he will be safe with conservatives. And they will quietly listen while he speaks.
He really is getting dangerous, and I fear for him. I hope he has a good security team.
Having seen many of Milo's college campus speeches on YouTube, and knowing that many of the CPAC audience will be about the same age, I can almost guarantee they they will not quietly listen. His speech will be interrupted several times with cheering and applause.
Milo openly defended pedophilia not only in a video but on his FB page.
Is that something CPAC wants to champion? A guy who in his own words, believes in inter-generational sex?
That is sick. I’m thinking hashtag #ChemicallyCastroMilo would be appropriate.
Why are some conservatives still defending him?
Because he's pissing off the right people.
The Left doesn't smash windows and burn businesses when John McCain or Lindsay Graham shows up to speak. Or Ted Cruz, for that matter.
Face it, Yiannopolous is never going to appeal to the conservative who voted for Ronald Reagan. The conservatives showing up to hear him speak weren't even born then. There is a new generation of populist/conservative that is poised to reclaim the university from the Left. They voted for Brexit. They voted for Trump. They don't give a shit about gay marriage or abortion. Milo is speaking to this New Guard, not us old men yelling at clouds.
Let’s see: you’re part of the deviancy up crowd.
Anything goes which including defending people without core values.
You can say I’m out. I believe right and wrong is beyond debate.
You have e ery right to speak against whatever you want. I see him more as a libertarian who votes on our side and gets a lot of others to do the same. There are only 2 viable political parties in the US. I think a victory by them is far worse than Milo voting for and supporting Trump.
You are correct.
Milo is a fame whore. He says whatever gets him in the headlines.
He isn’t a libertarian and I wouldn’t call him a conservative.
Anyone openly defending pedophilia isn’t someone I want our side to embrace.
Aping liberals by abandoning our core values doesn’t make us hip/cool.
I was a conservative long before I heard of Milo.
Milo has much stronger core values than most. Secondly, Milo is not as you claim, defending pedophilia. Get over your self . . .
Milo currently is a debating one issue. One issue only. An issue that hundreds of thousands have sacrificed their lives for.
On a personal level, we have learned he was sexually abused by an individual of the Catholic church. Yup, I know, undoubtedly you believe he probably asked for it. See how that works both ways?
In spite of being sexually abused in the Catholic Church, he is willing to stand up strongly and pronounce his Catholic faith in front of his college audiance. Not many speakers have values of that nature.
He openly says the homosexual lifestyle is wrong. Not many speakers have values to openly say that in his position.
He openly says, and I strongly agree . . . we as human beings are imperfect. Its as he says "kinda messy sometimes. But our God is a loving God. Our God forgives our sins and heals.
You are correct, many powers decided to not take Milo down as he was a useful tool.
Nevermind he’s a fraud, who literally defrauded donors to his then fake charity for white males. I have a feeling Breitbart is making him use the book advance to pay back the donations that he snorted up his nose.
He also doesn’t write any of his own articles, nor is he writing the book that’s about to be published. In fact EVERY article Hillary quoted of Milo’s as proof he’s a sexist, was written by Margaret Maclellan a young Canadian woman.
It was equally interesting on Bill Maher while he explained why he wouldn’t hire homosexuals... he described himself... someone addicted to drugs, who regularly doesn’t show up to work or meetings etc.
And yes, its disturbing that he’s tried to justify “training” young men in the ways of homosexuality while they’re young teens. He also doesn’t see this as pedophilia, he believes pedophilia is something committed before puberty.
Milo is a talented speaker... but he’s also a fraud. Don’t buy into his bs, his road to fame has been built over other peoples finances and creativity.
I like what Milo has to say, and admire his courage but something bothers me about him, like waiting for Lucy to pull the ball back from Charlie Brown, hope I am wrong.
