Milo Yiannopoulos is about to go mainstream Republican, sort of, grabbing himself a keynote address at the Conservative Political Action Conference next month.

The Washington gathering, known as CPAC, is the premiere event for established conservatives. This year’s speakers include Vice President Mike Pence, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, former presidential candidate Carly Fiorina and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, as well as media personalities like Lou Dobbs and Mark Levin.

None of the 60 or so confirmed speakers, though, will have more stage time than Yianoppoulos at this year’s event, which runs Feb. 22-25 at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center. The speeches will be broadcast live on C-SPAN.

Yiannopoulos told The Hollywood Reporter his CPAC presentation will focus on his "experiences in America battling feminists, Black Lives Matter, the media, professors and the entertainment industry.”

Figures.

[OKNancy]

1. He's been on my "creepy" list since his horrible treatment of Leslie Jones

I added Steven Miller recently

[SHRED]

2. Another phony culture warrior.

Boring.

[Charles Bukowski]

3. Who needs dog whistles? The GOP is

openly embracing bigotry now.

[KittyWampus]

4. Performing monkey with less sincerity than 4chan loser trolling the internet-

He is a ridiculous buffoon with less gravitas as Ann Coulter.

[spooky3]

5. Another damaged little boy who spews hate rather than

Seek therapy.

[Mr. Ected]

6. I'm thrilled to be able to align Milo with the Establishment GOP

He's their Toxic Baby that they'll have to answer for time and time again.

After watching him on Maher last night, he's certainly not a force to be reckoned with. He's a joke.

[Drahthaardogs]

18. How do you think most will receive him?

He is very flamboyant and I just don't see him playing well with the red cap clown posse. Maybe I am wrong.

[JHB]

7. I know self-destructive behavior can be a problem, but Milo...

...seems to have trouble figuring out that if he gets what he wants, his fate will be to end up the victim of a RW lynch mob.

[TrekLuver]

8. But he's gay....Cruz and Pence don't mind that little fact?

[Pachamama]

10. And he says he has a black boyfriend and his last one was Muslim...

The secret fantasy of all the CPAC members....

[HipChick]

11. He said he only dates non-whites...

[Pachamama]

13. That's racist

[Charles Bukowski]

19. His take on the right-wing "but some of my best friends are black"

defense. Even if true, it certainly doesn't preclude him from being a nasty bigot.

[Botany]

9. He is 100% Troll

His job is to make people mad .... it an act. I doubt if even he believes what he says
but he sees this as his way to make money. Stay away.

[KittyWampus]

12. Exactly, he's doing the Westboro Baptist Church Grift with a gay "twist".

[Botany]

15. He is a con man.

You are spot on about him being a grifter.

If the other side wants to give him money fine but the best thing we can do
is put him on ignore. BTW intelectually he comes from the "no diving" end of
the pool.

[nolabear]

14. There must be some kind of man-baby fetish in the GOP.

Honestly, I cannot imagine why anyone would take that child seriously. He's just waggling his behind and laughing at everyone who falls for it.

As I've said before I am dying to see Eddie Izzard or John Waters have at him.

Oh, and he's British, FFS!

[spanone]

16. can't think of a better place for his sorry ass.

i fart in his general direction.

[DFW]

17. Now, THAT'S what I call tolerance

I wonder if it will make any of the attendees squirm while getting an earful from a gay foreigner who likes black lovers and wears strings of pearls?
