Twitter Blows Up Over Milo Yiannopoulos' Explosive Video: 'Has Everyone Lost Their Minds?'

by Adam Pribila | 11:41 pm, February 19th, 2017

It was announced over the weekend that media provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos would be headlining the American Conservative Union’s CPAC — Conservative Political Action Conference. The announcement was controversial.

Things would take a turn on Sunday morning when an unflattering video of Yiannopoulos went viral. Conservative media group The Reagan Battalion was the first to post video to their Twitter page. The conservative group would also take the opportunity to take a shot at the American Conservative Union.






Many, after viewing the video, are suggesting that Yiannopoulos is defending pedophilia. In the video, he says:

In the homosexual world, particularly, some of those relationships between younger boys and older men — the sort of ‘coming of age’ relationship — those relationships in which those older men help those young boys discover who they are and give them security and safety and provide them with love and a reliable, sort of rock, where they can’t speak to their parents.

It's a good thing I could speak to my parents about my homosexuality since they are not stupid right-wingers.

Milo argues that gay kids of stupid parents are always victims of child molestation. That's bullshit of course. Milo says it's a good thing.

It seems like his brain got really f**ed up when he was molested as a child. Or he's just playing a role to state that homosexuality = pedophilia.

So one week, the conservatives are so hung up on the fact that Hillary *MAY* have allowed a child sex ring to happen in the basement of a Washington DC pizza parlor to the point where they literally shot up the damn place. The next, Milo Yinnapolous comes along and openly advocates for older men having sex with young boys, and conservatives love this guy. Congratulations, conservatives, you worship an *alleged* child rapist!
