But some Republicans don’t seem much happier with Yianoppoulos, who was recently announced as the keynote speaker for the upcoming Conservative Political Action Conference, which is hosted by the American Conservative Union (ACU).

“We were never consulted until after the invite,” one ACU board member, who requested anonymity, told Washingtonian. “If I hadn’t been in the offices and asked questions, I would never have had any clue. I threw a hissy fit.”

Another unnamed board member reacted with surprise when contacted by Washingtonian, saying the board hadn’t even met in six months. ACU board member Ned Ryun denounced Yianoppoulos’ invite on Twitter.




In his remarks on Friday’s “Real Time” Yianoppoulos also said, “I don’t know if I’m conservative.”

Let him go before millions of viewers like he did on Bill Mahr and be rightfully shot down by commentators like Larry Wilcox but keep him the fuck away from our kids studying on college campuses. Free speech about constructive issues like low wages, Black Lives Matter or being down on war is one thing but allowing this putrid piece of shit spew unfettered hate to our kids studying on college campuses is unacceptable. I'm not paying for my kid to attend a public college only for her to be subjected to the xenophobic rhetoric of the likes of Milo or Tomi Lahern.
