Milo Yiannopoulis 'Resigns' From Breitbart
Being the publicity whore that he is, Milo Yiannopoulis held a press conference this afternoon to announce that he has resigned from Breitbart News in order to save them from more fire from conservative outrage.
Reading a prepared statement, Yiannopoulis said, “I would be wrong to allow my poor choice of words to detract from my colleagues’ important reporting, so today I am resigning from Breitbart, effective immediately."
“This decision is mine alone,’’ he added.
Sure it was. Just yesterday, we were hearing reports of threatened employee walkouts from Breitbart if Milo stayed. Apparently pedophilia was their bridge too far. Harassment, misogyny, trolling, and hatred toward literally everyone was no problem. But at least we can agree on pedophilia, eh?
Claire Conner, author of Wrapped in the Flag and contributor here at C&L sent me a comment last night about all of the hoopla around Milo, and how conservatives loved him until they didn't.
It expresses my thoughts perfectly.
For all of my far-right, Conservative Christian, morality-preaching GOP friends: I'm so relieved to discover that there is a line that even you will not cross. I worried about your morality when you embraced our PG'ing president. I wondered about your values when you embraced Putin as a savior of white Christian civilization. I had trouble understanding how you could love Steven Bannon, thrice-divorced Catholic who calls himself a Leninist.
