According to Townhall’s and frequent Fox News contributor Guy Benson, controversial Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos has been disinvited from speaking at the upcoming Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in DC, a report that was quickly confirmed by the ACU Chair.

Milo will be disinvited from #CPAC, I’ve just been told.

Yiannopoulos’ initial invitation drew criticism, especially after a questionable clip emerged on social media revealing the Breitbart editor appearing to at least “advocate” for pedophilia. The clip, which was first put online by The Reagan Battalion, quickly made the rounds Sunday; Yiannopoulos says in the video:

He just posted a video on my facebook page saying basically the same thing. Devoid of makeup, poor dear, it looks like he’s having a bad day. Saying the video was edited, yada, yada, yada. If it was, I hope he demands the entire video to be produced. I could barely get through a minute of it between he and that interviewer. Unwatchable.

[trisham]

I hear you.

[Antoninus]

He dug the hole himself.

Exactly. A classic example of someone hanging himself when given enough rope.

[Antoninus]

I regret that he has been compromised.

No "has been". I would argue that he's been compromised from day one. Too many of us just put political convenience ahead of what's right.

“I think she said he penetrated her when she was about 7.”

Ew. I didn’t know that. He should go to prison.

“That is still rape to me even if it isn’t to Whoopie Goldberg.”

I didn’t mean to imply that it was in any way acceptable, only that it was, by definition, not pedophilia.

Whoopie Goldberg rapes humanity every time she opens her stupid, evil mouth.

When that Iraqi or Afghani commander of ours was censured for going after a local officer for raping boys - because that’s ‘how they are’ - that’s when they saw they could normalize it.

It’s one thing for public, government funded institutions to ban him from speaking at their colleges and universities. Conservatives are right to stand against that sort of thing because it’s a flagrant violation of free speech by the government. It’s another thing for one of the biggest, private conservative groups to invite this into their inner circle. Every now and again I find myself applauding Alan Dershowitz, I even respect him, but I also know exactly what he is.

MILO has a video out giving a fuller explanation worth a listen:

CPAC has been known to get co-opted. Put it this way, I’m somewhat surprised to see our President invited to speak. These are not necessarily the droids you’re looking for.

[Duchess47]

Definitely worth a listen.

[Duchess47]

Next thing you know, they will rescind his invitation too.

[RegulatorCountry]

I’m getting to the point that nothing would surprise me. It’s not just the left that we’re battling, here.

“I think this particular video should be watched by everyone, from someone who personally knows Milo. Language warning.”

Ok, as brutal as that was to listen through, I did.

I knew most of this before hand.

He was abused by a priest, he liked it, he has a distorted view of things, he is a victim but does not want to play the victim. Additionally we should support him, because of his horrible past experiences that he endured.

Is that the take?

This really doesn’t leave me in a different place than before.

I will state that there is a special judgement for those Catholic priests and other men of God that do these despicable, wicked things to children.

[Duchess47]

Boy is that the truth!

[johnk]

Well there are many threads to choose from.

Sometimes topics are tough, and the facts even tougher.

That’s where you pull up your big-boy pants and talk it out.

That is the beauty of America and the God given freedom of speech.

That being said I know how you feel, but not everything is tax reform and health care.

The sad thing is that ignoring issues like this that are “uncomfortable” only leads to bigger problems down the line.

It’s the whole pink elephant in the corner of the room concept.

Oh, huff n puff. I find your posts exceedingly self-righteous and short-sighted. We've had the Gay Mafia cracking their fetish whips over the heads of culture and churches for a decade ,and poor people trying to bake for a living. We've been on the defensive and Milo was on the offense, for the first time. Now, we're back on defense. What Milo said isn't much different than what goes on a Gay Pride event.

This is a victory for the Never Trumpers.

[Lopeover]

Since when do we condemn people for what they say?

I don’t like what a lot of people say, but I hate people who tell me what I can not say! If we deny Milo the right (under our laws) to communicate his thoughts on a topic - that he even experienced! Then we deny our own right to free speech.

If CPAC condemns him for words, they slander the Constitution and they give the globalist left the ability to deny all of us the ability to wish each other a Merry Christmas!

Finally, Milo is from Europe. Europeans are not so hung up on sex as we are. Culturally, I give him a wide berth to discuss a topic that may not be so polarizing there. Although his record stands for itself. Like Milo, I do not support pedophilia.

You're on the defensive because you chose a guy with a deeply flawed character as your standard bearer. Stop shooting the messenger and, if you must be a follower, pick better leaders.
