3:41Now PlayingMilo Yiannopoulos CPAC Invitation Rescinded For Endorsing Pedophilia In Chilling Audio - Milo FAIL
Milo Yiannopoulos was invited to the CPAC convention, the Conservative Political Action Committee, and it has since been rescinded as a result of his comments made in audio of a video condoning pedophilia and saying that it is ok for a 13 year old to have sexual interactions with an adult man. Milo Yiannopoulos has finally been hit by karma. Milo Yiannopoulos is having a lot of trouble keeping his career in-tact because of these comments that have been coming out. Sucks Milo, that's what you get you insuffrable douchebag. Milo Yiannopoulos CPAC. Milo Yiannopoulos CPAC Kicked. Milo Yiannopoulos CPAC Convention Disinvited. Milo Yiannopoulos CPAC Disinvited. Milo Yiannopoulos CPAC Invitation Rescinded. Milo Yiannopoulos CPAC Invitation Taken Back. Milo Yiannopoulos Wont Be Going to CPAC. Milo Yiannaopoulos Speaking At CPAC. Milo CPAC. Milo CPAC Convention. Milo Speaks At CPAC. Milo CPAC. Milo Book. Milo Book Canceled. Milo FAIL. Yiannopoulos, an editor at Breitbart News and a frequent supplier of racist and sexist rhetoric, will no longer speak at the annual confab, a decision that appeared to catch him off guard. "I haven't heard any indication that they are reconsidering," Yiannopoulos told CNNMoney early Monday afternoon. That changed less than an hour later, with the sponsor of the conference, the American Conservative Union, announcing that it had rescinded Yiannopoulos' invitation. The reason for the turnabout: A pair of video clips that surfaced Sunday in which Yiannopoulos appears to be speaking sympathetically about sex with young boys and cracking a joke about his own sexual encounter with a Catholic priest as a child. "We continue to believe that CPAC is a constructive forum for controversies and disagreements among conservatives, however there is no disagreement among our attendees on the evils of sexual abuse of children," ACU president Matt Schlapp said in a statement. That statement was apparently released to the public before it was seen by Yiannopoulos. When asked to confirm that his invitation to CPAC had been rescinded, Yiannopoulos told CNNMoney it was news to him. "If so," he said in an email, "I haven't heard that." Later Monday, Simon & Schuster announced that it was canceling publication of Yianopoulos' forthcoming book "Dangerous." CPAC's decision marked the culmination of a firestorm that erupted Saturday, when the ACU announced Yiannopoulos' appearance at the conference. Many prominent conservative pundits provided the loudest voices of opposition to the decision. By Sunday, following the release of the two incendiary videos, the chorus of dissent had grown nearly deafening. Bill Kristol, the editor-at-large for the conservative Weekly Standard, said the invitation to Yiannopoulos was "despicable." Ned Ryun, a board member for the ACU, likewise objected to the decision. He said on Monday morning that members of the board were not consulted on the decision. "While I'm all for free speech, there is such a thing as vile, hateful speech that does not deserve a platform," Ryun tweeted. Jonah Goldberg, a senior editor at the conservative National Review, described Yiannopoulos as "a promoter and apologist for the 'Alt Right,' a white supremacist coalition that seeks to be the alternative to mainstream conservative movement." "That in itself should be the only red flag CPAC needs," Following the decision to disinvite Yiannopoulos, Goldberg responded with something close to an eyeroll. "Apparently the racism and anti-Semitism wasn't a deal breaker," Goldberg said. Rich Lowry, the top editor at the National Review, said it was "a colossal misjudgment to invite him." "He's not a conservative, and in fact wants to overthrow Reagan conservatism, besides his other obvious failings," Lowry said. "Now having disinvited him, CPAC looks like the censor--the worst of both worlds." In one of the videos, Yiannopoulos defended sexual relationships between "younger boys and older men."
