What will happen to Milo Yiannopoulos now that he has ‘resigned’ from Breitbart.com, after tape resurfaced of the alt-right Nazi-lovin’ bottle blonde hater making pro-pedophilia comments? He’s launching his own media empire, bla bla bla. As soon as the Milo-pedo news cycle ends, he’ll be fine.
Are you not more concerned about the dozens of interns credited with his work at breitbart.com, the white supremacist shithole from whence Trump consigliere Steve Bannon emerged like Cthulhu from a sewer? Won’t someone think of the 44 interns?
Here’s his press conference, followed by live reporting from journalists covering this dumb goat rodeo.
Don’t forget. The man Milo worked for is the second most powerful person in the White House today, after Donald Trump. President Milo? Don’t laugh too hard.
And this, too: Milo resigned from Breitbart, according to Milo.
He was not fired. Even pedophilia wasn’t too low for Breitbart.com.
Milo says he's going to launch his own media venture, that his book will still come out, and that he's announcing new campus tour dates.

Anyone who is approached by Milo to invest in his new thing should look carefully into his past financial dealings.

Milo resigns from Breitbart. He'll have a cooling off period while he's still toxic. But don't expect the right to let him go that long.

I'll admit it: I'm surprised. I really thought Milo would stay at Breitbart. https://t.co/jGDWjwtNpQ

I'm glad we're learning there is a limit to what Americans will take seriously so long as it's said with a British accent.
