Beware of MILO YIANNOPOULOS

and anyone, including Seth Abramson, who would cite Milo's opinions on Louise Mensch or anything else.

Milo is a loathsome, pro-trumper. (Yes, I know that's redundant.)

Milo Yiannopoulos calls President Trump “Daddy,” and it seems the relationship might be mutual.

http://college.usatoday.com/2017/02/21/who-is-milo-yiannopoulos-anyway/

Yiannopoulos, 32, grew up in England and is currently based in the United States, known for his provocative statements. He has branded himself as being aggressively pro-free speech and anti-political correctness. His conservative stances — including his announcement that he was creating a “privilege grant” to “provide college funding assistance to white males” — have associated him with the alt-right movement.

Among other things, he has railed against safe spaces, trigger warnings, identity politics and feminism — he created the hashtag #FeminismIsCancer and has deemed rape culture “fake.”

He's a fraud provocateur and he's now caught in his own web
If he said the sky was blue, I'd guarantee it was orange

Wouldn't that say something about what kind of person they are?


The answer is yes. Yes it would.

8. What about folks, who despite knowing all of this stuff, pose for pictures w/ the guy?

I get that this is in response to the earlier Milo post, but it seems to ignore that Mensch was posing for pics w/ the guy (after the election) and well after everyone knew the piece of shit that he was. She even defended the guy after he got banned from twitter for leading a racist campaign against Leslie Jones.

For Mensch, his defense of pedophilia was the line, but not all the other terrible stuff.


?

They're all from the same basket.

But they have parted ways and Louise has been fervently anti-Trump for more than a year.

I am agnostic about Mensch but using Milo to smear her is just laughable.
