Milo has a new gig: Yiannopoulos becomes latest white nationalist hired by the Daily Caller
Source: Salon
After BuzzFeed News exposed his extensive connections to white nationalists, far-right columnist Milo Yiannopoulos became so politically toxic that even Breitbart News and its chairman Steve Bannon have renounced their associations with him. But just as Breitbart was closing a door to him, the Daily Caller was opening a window for Yiannopoulos.
The right-wing website announced that it had hired him by publishing his first scrofulous writeup late Friday afternoon.
"This is the first installment in his new weekly column for the Daily Caller," the site's editors wrote at the bottom of Yiannopoulos' bloviation titled, "A Round Of Applause For Kevin Spacey."
The former Breitbart star has become the latest of several white nationalist writers who have been hired by the publication, which is owned in part by Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson although he has said he is uninvolved in the site's operations. Founded in 2010 as a conservative response to the Huffington Post, the Daily Caller's lower profile than Breitbart News has allowed its turn toward white nationalism to receive less press coverage than Bannon's infamous attempts to make Breitbart "the platform for the alt-right."

(1,148 posts)He sucks so much, he's a terrible writer in addition to being a terrible person. He used interns at Breitbart to do a lot of the work. He'll fail here like he did everywhere else. He's just an attention whore, no need to give him what he wants.

(5,611 posts)as well. He can argue how Kevin Spacey was just helping the boys (since that was his argument when he got fired/disgraced initially). Tucker is really pathetic these days. He is the Frozen Food Heir, etc yet pretends he's friends with white nationalists so he can get some viewers.

(5,611 posts)evils of everything white nationalists love to discuss (illegals and crime, etc). He sold his soul to get some viewers at Fox and at the Daily Caller. Hiring Milo the pro-pedophile loser is such a sad attempt at publicity. It's so pathetic that the Frozen Food Heir feels that he must join forces with white nationalists just to get a few viewers. He's a disgrace.
