Breitbart Employees Threaten Walk-Out Over Milo

[EricMaundry]

Source: The Washingtonian

All is not well at Breitbart News. A senior editor at the right-wing publication tells Washingtonian that “at least a half-dozen” employees are prepared to leave the company if Milo Yiannopoulos is not promptly fired. A second Breitbart source confirms this estimate.

Yiannopoulos, himself a senior editor at Breitbart, was booted from his speaking slot at this week’s Conservative Political Action Convention (CPAC), following taped revelations in which he appears to endorse pedophilia.

“The fact of the matter is that there’s been so many things that have been objectionable about Milo over the last couple of years, quite frankly. This is something far more sinister,” the senior editor says. “If the company isn’t willing to act, there are at least half a dozen people who are willing to walk out over it.”

“Talking abut young boys and somehow seeking to ameliorate concerns over young boys’ relationships with older men…I’m pretty sure everyone in the company would vomit upon hearing these words,” the source continues. “What right-thinking person doesn’t feel sick to their stomach when hearing something like that?”

A little late in the game for these scum to be complaining.

[Else You Are Mad]

1. I guess when he talks about molesting young WHITE boys...

that is horrible. But raping women that's fine.

These people make me sick.

[Ferretherder]

2. But tha' Donald could shoot somebody dead in Times Square,...

...and not lose a single voter...so he said.

....and they're cool with that.

Right.

[TeamPooka]

3. Whatever. Anyone that walks just gets a cushy job in the White House.

[samnsara]

36. im sure FOX will hire him if Donald doesnt make him a Sr Advisor.

[Daemonaquila]

4. Whatever gets the job done!

I hope they do walk out. Time for anyone advertising with Breitbart to stop immediately.

[AngryAmish]

46. As opposed to before this?

[50 Shades Of Blue]

5. Gawd, I love how Milo has backfired on 'em.

[riversedge]

9. Bet those who yelled at Stanford for recinding his speaking event will ignore this or hide.

[Ccarmona]

45. It was

at UC Berkeley not Stanford.

[putitinD]

12. backfired my ass. Milo the paid actor did as planned to stir up the alt-right to hating on fags

again. The GOP is going to need another group to hate on, once the Muslims are gone. I doubt Milo is even gay.

[Crash2Parties]

32. I'm honestly not too worried about that. We (LGBT people) have been condemning him for years.

And when this came out on places like JMG a day ago, again people were resoundingly condemning him. The only gay people who don't are the Log Cabin Republicans and I'm guessing now even they will have to take a stronger stance against him. Even if he was their great white hope...

[putitinD]

51. Think Trump SCOTUS and making LGBT marriage (and all rights) illegal.

[Crash2Parties]

62. Oh, I have no doubt that is coming. I thought you were referring specifically to Milo.

America is on the express train to a conservative theocracy + corporatocracy.

My only hope is that the GOP-Russia thing blows up so big, people snap out of whatever fugue they are in.

[putitinD]

64. Many are saying that Milo isn't even gay, just a paid actor to further their agend, I believe the

pedophilia thing was planned. Just to Put it in their (alt-right) heads that all homosexual are also pedophiles. I see many, many more bathroom bills on the horizon. Gay marriage repealed. It will be legal to FIRE anyone they even think is gay. We will have to wear pink triangles when they are done with us.

[Crash2Parties]

68. From what I've seen it was queer folk that dug it up, after he & maher attacked trans people.

But yeah, unless the Russian mess takes down the GOP, I see Congress deciding that any person's religious opinion at that moment give them the right to discriminate against people as they please. Meanwhile, states will pass anti-women & anti-LGBT laws with abandon. If this comes to pass, I see us sliding quickly into an overt conservative theocracy.

[luvMIdog]

59. I also think this is probably gaslighting

They start with what they consider the weakest groups first. First it will be transexuals, gays, etc. Of course they are really ignorant about sexuality, so it doesn't take much to make HIS BASE think all male gays are possible pedophiles. I think it's pretty disgusting that they did not mind sticking a man in the Oval Office that might have been a pedophile rapist and gotten away with it because he was rich. They were all pretty damn quiet about those charges and could have cared less. It isn't pedophilia that bothers them, it's gays they don't like. They didn't care about the story that Trump might have raped a 12 year old girl and others at all.

[VaBchTgerLily]

6. Oh well!

[jpak]

7. but...but...but...FREEDOM OF SPEECH

Don't be like those thugs at Berkeley....

yup

[NurseJackie]

24. I know! Right? I mean, seriously now...

[riversedge]

8. umm. seems even a few at Brietbart have some morals. whow.

[OnDoutside]

19. More like siezing the opportunity to get rid of the homosexual.

[JudyM]

47. +1. They win. Plus they get to rekindle the smear against gays that they're perv's. Which has become

politically incorrect.

[OnDoutside]

66. Yes, nave on his part to walk into this.

[backscatter712]

10. Oh, this is good...

[LonePirate]

11. Virulent bigotry of all kinds is accepted there but they draw the line at pedophilia.

Champions of human decency they are not.

[Phoenix61]

23. Pedophilia if it involves young boys

I would like to think they would be just as upset if it involved young girls but I have my doubts.

[KittyWampus]

26. took the words out of my mouth.

[Mr.Bill]

37. What's the saying?

Live boys or dead girls are the only thing off limits.

[bullwinkle428]

58. Plenty of evidence suggesting "Mein Fuhrer Limbaugh" might be dabbling...

[Kimchijeon]

13. Boo Hoo Boo Hoo, walk out then, dipshits

No one will miss you.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

14. Who else thought this walkout would be in SUPPORT of ....

... Milo the child rapist supporter?

[herding cats]

17. *raises hand*

It's not as if their staff has the reputation for the tiniest shred of integrity. My expectations were they were angry he was disinvited from CPAC.

[Kittycow]

52. I thought that too--walking out in support of.

Bannon probably has a position for him.

[jayschool2013]

15. Replacement

I think Denny Hastert's looking for work.

[lunasun]

33. I was thinking old conservative republicans, young boys , don't they already have a history?

CPAC /Brietbart may want to keep it on the traditional down low
This MIlo shines a light on thier actions

[not fooled]

49. Yep

Just what I was thinking. Don't frighten the proles.

[keithbvadu2]

55. "I think Denny Hastert's looking for work." - Bathroom attendant

"I think Denny Hastert's looking for work." - Bathroom attendant

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

16. What? They don't like being called "Pedobart"? nt

[Rex]

18. I don't believe them, I think they are concerned about their paychecks.

I think they are all just like Milo.

[Plucketeer]

20. LOL! Letum walk.

I couldn't care LESS as to what goes on at Brightfart.

[HopeAgain]

21. Breitbart is the "real" fake news...

I don't think any other publication should give them even this much attention. Breitbart is about as legitimate of a major news source as a high school paper...

[keithbvadu2]

22. President Bannon is on the Security Council and yet he ok'd MY's background check for his own organi

President Bannon is on the Security Council and yet he ok'd MY's background check for his own organization.

[Fast Walker 52]

44. so the BIG question right now, since we know the right is all about projection--

is Bannon into pedophilia, after all the pizzagate crap???

[Dopers_Greed]

25. The Donald "scoring" (aka leching over a woman on camera)...

...is somehow OK, but this isn't?

Good to know that RW'ers have at least some standard.

[underpants]

27. Has anyone asked Spicer about Bannon's thoughts on this?

Bannon does interviews very rarely. Did he hire Milo? We know he kept him on at least and promoted the hell out of him.

[ProudLib72]

28. I read "company" as "country"

I was all prepared for them to leave the country. That was going to be great! Too bad it is only the company they are leaving.

[WheelWalker]

29. LOL

[Initech]

30. Down in flames!!! And don't let the door hit your ass on the way out!

[bora13]

31. fake outrage

from the fake news outlet

[Kingofalldems]

34. A walkout? That's union communism!

Ironic.

[truthisfreedom]

35. When scandals emerge regarding older men and young boys

Predominately conservative men are involved, whether religious leaders or persons with power. Naturally there's verbal outrage from these folks but one can't help but laugh "methinks you doth protest too much."

[RoccoRyg]

38. This is what happens when you're rewarded for bad behavior

Milo, Coulter and many others have made careers saying offensive things to make liberals mad, and then getting pat on the back and rewarded for it. "Good job, Milo. You've made us proud. Here's $20,000. Here's a book deal. You're one of us."

With this lack of consequences, it should come as no surprise when one finally goes over the line because they think they're untouchable. I think Milo's about to know how athletes and musicians feel when the fame and money are gone and the vultures don't need you anymore.

[randome]

39. "Well, sure, we're assholes and liars but we're not as bad as THAT guy!"

[EarthFirst]

40. Not a single bit of this because of moral fortitude, this is pure self-preservation... nt

[MontanaMama]

41. There will be a dozen

losers waiting in the wings to take their place.

[Nitram]

42. Right. So pedophilia is just so much worse than racism, xenophobia, and all the rest of Milo's...

...twisted world view. It's all just a game with him anyhow. Getting attention by being bitchy and provocative.

[Fast Walker 52]

43. Breitbart might be a racist propaganda rag, but they have their standards, dammit!

[mdbl]

50. LOL Couldn't have said it better.

Thanks!

[dalton99a]

48. Ok, leave. Let the pedophiles stay.

[brewens]

53. Sorry perverts! You aren't throwing your hero under the bus because you are upset you got caught!

Breitbart=alt-right=NAMBLA! We don't have to believe you that this was any kind of secret to you. You loved the guy, now you get to choke on it!

[GeorgeGist]

54. Flaming assholes aren't prone ...

to sticking together for long.

[MyMission]

56. the 1/2 dozen with "some" scruples

Are hoping to exert their influence on breitbart!?! Good luck with that.

[Submariner]

57. Most Breitbart employees are known to have gang bang sex with each others mothers

so they should not get their panties in a twist over a little republican kiddi-sex.

[Marie Marie]

60. Well there is always NAMBLA - they will welcome him with open arms.

[LenaBaby61]

61. Breitbart Employees Threaten Walk-Out Over Milo.

"All is not well at Breitbart News. A senior editor at the right-wing publication tells Washingtonian that “at least a half-dozen” employees are prepared to leave the company if Milo Yiannopoulos is not promptly fired."

[Afromania]

63. Adios Milo

Suppose I tell you exactly what's gonna happen to you. You're gonna be back in the spotlight. Only it won't be quite the same as it was before. There'll be a reasonable cooling-off period and then somebody will say:"Why don't we try him again." People's memories aren't too long." And you know, in a way, they'll be right. Some of the people will forget, and some of them won't.

Oh, you'll have some followers. Maybe they won't be famous, or political movers and shakers, you know, the "A" list conservative talking heads. Maybe not even some of those "fake news" blogs run by kids in Russia will pick you up. But you'll have a platform, somewhere, someplace. It just won't be quite the same as it was before.

Then a couple of new firebrands will come along spewing your particular brand of hate.c. And pretty soon, a lot of your fans will be flocking around them. And then one day, somebody'll ask: "Whatever happened to, a, whatshisname? You know, the one who was so big. The number-one fella a couple of years ago. He was famous. How can we forget a name like that? Oh by the way, have you seen. Johnny Johnny? I think he's the greatest thing since Limbaugh.

[mitch96]

65. How does this guy stay in the country?

Condoning pedophelia and admits he took 20k for gay prostitution....... and he is here on a visa..
Revoke it and keep 1000 immigrants
m

[mr_lebowski]

67. Nothing is 'real' with Breitbart ... NOTHING ...

The whole thing suggests 'setup to further stereotype that teh gheyz are all pedo!' to me.

And somehow the credulous dipshits living in Faux Nooz fantasy-land will be made to honestly believe his book was "canceled by liberal NY Jews who didn't want to publish MY's message about teh Mooslims which is THE TRUTH!!1!!".

Because, as we all know ... Jewish people get along better w/Muslims than anyone ... They're always sticking up for them, rationalizing their atrocities ...

What's that? Actually, NOT!?!

Then ... "Oh, these are the Elite self-hating LIEBERAL Jewish types!!!1!" they'll rationalize.

Never underestimate the STUPID ...
