CPAC rescinds offer to have Milo Yiannopoulos speak at annual conference

The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) has rescinded its offer to have controversial alt-right figurehead Milo Yiannopoulos speak at its annual conference.

The decision to rescind Yiannopoulos’s invitation came after video emerged of him praising pedophilia and talking about how much he enjoyed having a sexual encounter with a priest when he was a young teenager.

“Due to the revelation of an offensive video in the past 24 hours condoning pedophilia, the American Conservative Union has decided to rescind the invitation of Milo Yiannopoulos to speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference,” said American Conservative Union Chairman Matt Schlapp.

Schlapp said he initially invited Yiannopoulos to talk at CPAC due to his record as a purported “free speech” advocate on college campuses, where his talks regularly generate angry — and occasionally violent — protests.

Seeing him on Bill Mahler was revolting but informative. What a nasty piece of human flesh. He really is a self hating jerk. And he is not even American how dare he criticize our country.

Is that those three keep their love for sex with children(Trump), and in the case of King and Gohmert, animals, a matter of privacy!!!

Technically, anyway pedophilia is attraction to prepubescent children. Before sexual characteristics emerge.

Why did they not want to descend further into the depths of the depravity that they continue to dwell in? Why not cry "FAKE NEWS!1!!!!!111" and be done with it?

This is what you people are. It is your nature.

They have a problem with a priest raping Milo, but Trump can rape all the teenage girls he wants.

They didn't want him there because he is GAY and flamboyant and wears strands of pearls and earrings and that is all.
