I'm not aware of him doing that. Please, elaborate...
He didn’t.
After having read that post, which contains Milo's perfectly reasonable explanation for the comments he has made, I'll leave you to your hysterical distortions...
I watched it before responding on this thread.
Who or what is that?
You appear to have put a lot of time into researching him, but think everyone else should either just believe you or spend a lot of time researching as well. It’s nice to share, like as in links.
Goodness, there has been so much research done on Milo and certainly not by me lol No one needs to believe anything I’ve stated, but anyone interested could easily google the information.
A primer from the left might be idle dillettantes blog.

She gets a few things wrong, ie she says Milo switched names from Hanrahan to Yiannopoulous because of a coming out as gay issue. What she didn’t know is that Milo and his grifter father switched last names and formed a new company.
Margaret Maclellans’ tweets are just as easy to find, there are even image files available regarding the privilege grant hoax and where the money landed...ie his personal bank account in Britain:

You’ve spent more time telling others to research your claims than it would have taken you to post half a dozen links.
A thread on 4chan predicted this would happen http://boards.4chan.org/pol/thread/113460155/operation-destroy-milo-begins-monday
I took several hours to read your links and all the articles linked within that long blog article by Margaret Pless. What puzzles me is why you (unless you are she, or are one of the writers who had to wait for payment) are so incensed over Milo’s past business mistakes. Granted, no one likes to be on the receiving end of non-payment. But failing that, I regard the matter of whether he has mismanaged business versus whether he is making meaningful contributions to the smashing of politically correct fascism (which I believe he is) as something like the question of whether to like Sinatra’s singing even though he was a thug and wife beater; and I have come down on the side of liking his singing, without any illusions about the person doing it.
I do thank you for providing the links. I would never have found this very link-studded article, especially given the entirely non-descriptive title by an author completely unknown to me, a very well-read person in many areas but not being a techie or a gamer. The article reads like an insider’s game of inside baseball, with so many obscure references it was hard to move from one paragraph to the next without serious research, and I’ve been an editor for many decades. There was, as Christina Hoff Summers expressed concern about, such abundant evidence of confirmaton bias in the main article that even after reading all that material linked within it, I can’t fault Milo on content grounds.
He has clearly been targeted for destruction by the nevertrumpers of the left and the right, and it’s sad to see any rejoicing over that on this forum. Love him or hate him, Trump is all that presently stands between ourselves and the globalists, whether the bankers, the neocommunists or the caliphate.
If there was a Freeper Follow button I’d hit it for your posts.
I’m sort of undecided about Milo in some respects but your post was fun to read just on the strength of the writing.
Bless you, Bodleian_Girl.
no I’m not pless... and don’t know much about her other than she’s done quite a bit of research into certain e-celebs. Her conclusions are not always correct, but nevertheless her links are good. I never kept track of Milos old and now expunged links. His Tumblr was quite hilarious as I recall, particularly the photos. If it was just the Kernel as a failed biz example, I’d agree. There’s just so many weird scammy business ventures, esp while he and his dad were somewhat involved. There were a lot of people gathering and writing about this last spring, because of the grant money disappearing etc. Milo no longer has twitter, but I don’t think his dads account is gone. Off the top of my head I don’t remember his first name, but it looked like he created a twitter just to contact his son (Milo).
Milo’s ex tour manager seems to be talking to people about what he saw... and since yesterday numerous people began publicly tweeting and chatting about this in messaging groups.
I don’t have a dog in this drama... so I am also a bit disgusted with people who knew this behavior was occurring and allowed it to continue.
All of these e-celebs are culpable imho...
and....I don’t know any never Trumpers... but I can tell you since the Spring it’s been trumpers trying to figure out how to disavow Milo. Not sure if you recall, but he brought his drug dealer and convicted felon Kevin Cordova to a Trump rally in San Diego to meet and greet Trump because he passed him off as staff.
All of this is known because his “thug consultant” and others post photos because they feel untouchable.
You can say that again. We'll have to agree to disagree on the utility of your having piled on here. This Milo-trashing is a witch hunt against the administration and its effective supporters. The extreme objections raised to Milo's having described his personal experience of being a 17-year-old gay teen who was seduced by an older person are biased by ignorance and hysteria on the right and by hypocrisy and disingenuousness on the left.
Milo is correct that the clinical word "pedophilia" only applies to pre-pubescent children, and is therefore an abhorrent and clear violation, even in these transgressive times. Adult-teen sex is defined by the words "hebephilia" for early teens and "ephebophilia" for older teens, but that's too narrowly accurate for our lamestream media's broad-brush preference for the ugliest possible smears. Adult teen-sex is a more ambiguous and difficult-to-define social problem that pedophilia, lately made even more difficult by the left's egregious blurring of all lines of biological sex, age, roles, law and even the definition of words in their indiscriminate, borderless existence.
Conservatives condemn at their peril the struggles of people like him who have been involved in gay ideation and/or seduction or rape since childhood, who need support from conservatives to reveal their experiences in order to break free. Little of your objections to Milo have anything to do with the subject matter of his defense of free speech, particularly as regards the protected marxist classes of identity activists.
Well said, AW.
would you excuse him doing the same to teen boys as part of his trauma?
Hearsay at this point, from people who worked with him...but the boys booze bus tour is perhaps why everyone is backing off.
I do find it telling, that none of his colleagues have stepped up to defend him and literally did not want him at Breitbart any longer.
