We can go on about all the crap that Milo Yiannopoulos has gotten away with over the years, but for now we’ll just enjoy the fact that he can’t anymore.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When neo-Fascist writer Milo Yiannopoulos appeared at Berkeley College as part of his \u201cDangerous Faggot\u201d speaking tour, antifa were out to oppose him as they have at many of his tour stops. And as has been the case in a few of those stops things flared up to the point that a full-on riot ensued. In the end, Yiannopoulos had his appearance canceled and conservatives from the lowliest of bloggers to Donald Trump himself were angered.<\/p>\n

The fallout from the Berkeley appearance prompted people to take more of a look at Yiannopoulos and many have attempted to defend him. In addition to op-ed pieces defending his right to free speech, political commentator Tucker Carlson and comedian Bill Maher both invited him onto their program, with Maher\u2019s program becoming particularly incendiary with Maher first cozying up to Yiannopoulos in what had been termed a bromance<\/a>, then after Yiannopoulos remarked that “women and girls should be protected from having men who are confused about their sexual identities from their bathrooms,\u201d to which Maher replied, “That’s not unreasonable,\u201d and with comedian and fellow guest Larry Wilmore told him to \u201cGo fuck yourself\u201d<\/a> when Yiannopoulos told Maher he should get smarter guests. But it was when the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) announced that Yiannopoulos was going to be the keynote speaker at this year\u2019s outing this weekend, and conservative Twitter as well as the conservative National Review<\/a>\u00a0particularly exploded from the news, because all the coverage of Yiannopoulos made it clear that antifa had been right about him all along.<\/p>\n

The fact that #Milo<\/a> is a leading voice in mainstream conservatism demonstrates its current philosophical and intellectual bankruptcy. #CPAC<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/IBKrIEgEJF<\/a><\/p>\n
