Yiannopoulos: I Do Not Support Child Abuse
Amid accusations that he endorsed child sex abuse and college campus protests sparked by them, Milo Yiannopoulos held a news conference to clarify his statements and explain himself.
FOX’s Gurnal Scott with the story:
Yiannopoulos early on in his news conference refuted what many believed was his take on pedophilia:
(Yiannopoulos) “I do not support child abuse. It’s a disgusting crime of which I’ve personally been a victim.”
But he did apologize for what he said may have been seen as “flippant” comments on the subject:
(Yiannopoulos) ”I’m certainly guilty of imprecise language which I regret.”
The controversy has cost Yiannopoulos not only a book publishing deal, but also his job. He resigned from Breitbart News networks today. He does say he plans an “independently-funded venture” and will resume speaking engagements soon.
