<\/p>\nMilo Yiannopoulos Resigns from Breitbart News<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Milo Yiannopoulos has resigned from alt-right rag Breitbart News in a press release, after remarks surfaced <\/a>in which he said he was comfortable with men<\/a> having sex<\/a> with boys<\/a> as young as 13.<\/p>\n Said Yiannopoulos in a press release:<\/p>\n \u201cBreitbart News has stood by me when others caved. They have allowed me to carry conservative and libertarian ideas to communites that would otherwise never have heard them. They have been a significant factor in my success. I\u2019m grateful for that freedom and for the friendships I forged there. I would be wrong to allow my poor choice of words to detract from my colleagues\u2019 important reporting, so today I am resigning from Breitbart, effective immediately. This decision is mine alone.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Break: MILO resigns from Breitbart pic.twitter.com\/pSQnJ0b9vA<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Michael M.
