Milo Yiannopoulos is advocating for lethal violence against reporters who contact him for comments on their stories.

“I can’t wait for the vigilante squads to start gunning journalists down on sight,” he texted the Observer‘s Davis Richardson, responding to an inquiry involving an article in progress on a Manhattan restaurant the right-winger is said to visit often.

According to Yiannopoulos, that menacing remark is his “standard response to a request for comment.”

The Observer reports the same message was sent to The Daily Beast‘s Will Sommer, who had been covering the U.K. Independence Party.

Milo Yiannopoulos Warns Mediaite Reporter: ‘You Deserve What’s Coming’

by Amy Russo | 6:38 pm, June 26th, 2018

Continuing his ominous threats against reporters, Milo Yiannopoulos accused the media of cultivating animosity toward President Donald Trump and his base in an ominous email sent to Mediaite, and suggested there would be repercussions.

“If journalists keep lying, deceiving and manipulating the public, then they will reap the same hatred they are sowing against Trump and his voters,” he wrote in an email to Mediaite Tuesday. “Truthfully I take no pleasure in the prospect: I’d rather beat you in a debate hall than a wrestling ring. But you did this to yourselves, and you deserve what’s coming.”

Yiannopoulos was responding to an inquiry over a report on his messages encouraging violence against reporters, which were sent to the Observer and The Daily Beast.

“I can’t wait for the vigilante squads to start gunning journalists down on sight,” Yiannopoulos’ messages read.

Responding to Mediaite’s article on the disturbing remarks, he contended the reporting misrepresented what he said, “falsely and hilariously presenting an obvious trollish provocation as a ‘threat.'”

[YessirAtsaFact]

1. This should be illegal

[riversedge]

13. Well, I would think the FBI would pay him a visit???

[forgotmylogin]

21. If Kathy Griffin goes on the no-fly list for a mask and some ketchup...

Milo needs all his communications heavily monitored.

[riversedge]

23. I did not know Kathy G was on a no fly list. whow.

[leftofcool]

24. Malcom Nance says he is an attention seeking fraud who has never even seen a gun.

[cstanleytech]

22. Generally its protected speech so to make it illegal you would have to amend the Constitution.

[Thekaspervote]

33. Which is what he/they want. Rile them up stoke the fear, then we can gain total control

[YessirAtsaFact]

34. Inciting violence is protected?

This is in the realm of shouting fire in a crowded theater, which is not protected

[cstanleytech]

37. According to SCOTUS its not a crime.

[williesgirl]

32. I think it is. Inciting violence.

[heaven05]

2. this is a call

for murder/assassination.

[rockfordfile]

12. True

[world wide wally]

3. So very "civil"

[still_one]

4. Arrest for f**ker for inciting violence against the press.

[The Genealogist]

5. I guess it is only uncivil to kick people out of restaurants, but not threaten them

RW logic at work.

[Dawson Leery]

6. But the Red Hen asked her to leave.

That was "uncivil", and for the right Milo is "civil".

[bearsfootball516]

7. That's very civil of him.

[BigmanPigman]

8. I thought that ass was gone.

I guess provocateurs like Ann Coulter and him never really go away forever, they just slide back under their rocks periodically.

[Mr.Bill]

9. Deport him.

You don't visit another country and make death threats.

[catrose]

10. So perhaps journalists should not contact him

That would solve several problems.

[Mr. Ected]

11. This is what fascism looks like when it walks in the front door in broad daylight

Sometimes I think I need to get my family the hell out of the USA.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

14. In other words "I can't wait for someone else to do the shit I'd never have the 'nads to

do myself.".

One of these days someone's gonna beat the shit out of this jagoff. But I also have to wonder why anyone in the press would still be trying to make his punk ass relevant.

[bluestarone]

15. ok so where is RUMP?

No comment from the asshole right?

[JI7]

16. LOOK AT ME

[Martin Eden]

17. Milo is desperate for attention.

Trolls need to be fed.

[Still In Wisconsin]

18. More #civility, Republican style n/t

[LenaBaby61]

19. This right-winged pedophile ...

SHOULD be visited by the FBI. But he won't be.

I will say though, that my friend who can stomach going on right-winged sights said that there are alt-righter's/white nationalists ( ) who said that they'd take him out because he's a pedophile.

[Snellius]

20. This is the guy who advocated pedophilia, right?

Don't they have watch lists for these guys>

[marble falls]

25. Gee. What a nice guy.

[C_U_L8R]

26. "Lying, deceiving and manipulating"

Why would he want vigilantes to shoot himself? Is there that much self-loathing?

[defacto7]

27. Psychopath

[jmowreader]

28. If someone did gun down a journalist, he'd say he was only kidding.

BTW, doesn't he claim to be a journalist? Considering he's in three of the vigilantes' most hated groups - stereotypical gays, foreigners and flaming assholes - he may want to watch what he says.

[Turbineguy]

29. Right wing death squad advocate.

It's bound to happen. These creeps are coked up on fear and loathing of people who only exist in their imagination.

[vercetti2021]

30. You're fair game then to Milo

Be careful what you wish for

[Vogon_Glory]

31. Maybe Milo Should Visit Mexico

And claim he’s an independent investigative journalist.

I’d suggest the northern part of that country, particularly in Tamaulipas or Chihuahua.

[Mc Mike]

35. Yeah, he's an alt right piece of offal.

[FakeNoose]

36. I wouldn't protest if they deport this guy

Just sayin'

[Nitram]

38. Our "standard response" to Milo should be jail.
