Milo Yiannopoulos resigns from Breitbart News over remarks about sexual relations between ‘younger boys and older men’
Milo Yiannopoulos, the conservative provocateur whose comments on race have been assailed by Democrats and Republicans alike, resigned Tuesday from his senior editor position at Breitbart News.
In recent days, nearly a dozen reporters at the conservative news organisation had threatened to resign if Yiannopoulos was not fired for remarks he made that critics said endorsed paedophilia.
Moreover, Yiannopoulos, a staunch defender of the alt-right white nationalist movement, was supposed to speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference this week, but his invitation was rescinded Monday. And Simon & Schuster announced it was cancelling the publication of Yiannopoulos’ upcoming book, Dangerous.
Yiannopoulos denounced paedophilia and said his words were taken out of context.
