Milo tapped as Keynote Speaker at CPAC

I am a gay man, and a child abuse victim.

I would like to restate my utter disgust at adults who sexually abuse minors. I am horrified by pedophilia and I have devoted large portions of my career as a journalist to exposing child abusers. I've outed three of them, in fact -- three more than most of my critics. And I've repeatedly expressed disgust at pedophilia in my feature and opinion writing. My professional record is very clear.

But I do understand that these videos, even though some of them are edited deceptively, paint a different picture.

I'm partly to blame. My own experiences as a victim led me to believe I could say anything I wanted to on this subject, no matter how outrageous. But I understand that my usual blend of British sarcasm, provocation and gallows humor might have come across as flippancy, a lack of care for other victims or, worse, "advocacy." I deeply regret that. People deal with things from their past in different ways.

As to some of the specific claims being made, sometimes things tumble out of your mouth on these long, late-night live-streams, when everyone is spit-balling, that are incompletely expressed or not what you intended. Nonetheless, I've reviewed the tapes that appeared last night in their proper full context and I don't believe they say what is being reported.

I do not advocate for illegal behavior. I explicitly say on the tapes that I think the current age of consent is "about right."

I do not believe sex with 13-year-olds is okay. When I mentioned the number 13, I was talking about the age I lost my own virginity.

I shouldn't have used the word "boy" -- which gay men often do to describe young men of consenting age -- instead of "young man." That was an error.

I am certainly guilty of imprecise language, which I regret.

Anyone who suggests I turn a blind eye to illegal activity or to the abuse of minors is unequivocally wrong. I am implacably opposed to the normalization of pedophilia and I will continue to report and speak accordingly.

one question.

Did he also release the "complete" video he says was "deceptively edited" so we might see for ourselves whether he's telling the truth or not?

NO?

What a shock!
 
Uh no. No they can't. I'd like to see his rationalization on that. Just because a child or adolescent has become sexually mature doesn't mean they have the experience or judgment to make adult decisions.

Leave it to a pedophile to think he's capable of determining whether or not a 13 year old is "sexually mature" enough to have a consensual relationship.
 
were part of the party now and deserve a seat in it :3

conservative nationalism :D

newhoo. I think CPAC would be great if they focused on the next generation. Get Crowder, Shapiro, and Milo to speak. People can see the different viewpoints.

Sick fuck.
 
Colleges understand what Milo really is.
Why do you think they reject him you idiot?

Students rioting is why he isn't able to speak and thus draws more attention to himself. Supposedly free speech supporting liberal campuses show that they aren't.
 
I never had a party represent me before :) Some people say they didnt leave the party the party left them. Well I didnt join the GOP the GOP joined me. Its like you built your tent around me over the last year lol.

Believe me you still don't.
 
I guess even you don't get this.
Fucking amazing.

Yeah I do get it. Milo loves the attention he gets from being unable to speak. If he had spoke at Berkeley no one would have said a word about him. Instead he gets national headlines as protesters lit fires.

friend of mine has a niece who is conservative who is going into college. He told me he told her do NOT say anything political while she's there.
No good can come from any backlash, or revenge or anything from being an outspoken conservative on today's colleges.
I agree.get your degree -get the hell away from that intolerant bunch, and then you can speak your mind

Maybe they were rioting because they didn't want a sickening child molester in their midst?
 
CPAC has made a statement that it's up to Milo to beat back the controversy his comments have stirred in the liberal quarters. Milo has stated he was being sarcastic and trying to use humor. He himself was the victim of pedophilia and does not in any way support it.

The CPAC conference is not the place for him to do so. I agree. I feel bad for him. The liberal dogs were/are out to take him down. These people are vicious and hateful.

He advocates pedophilia you idiot
