[video=youtube;oJhHwspZGcg]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJhHwspZGcg[/video] In this video with Joe Rogan, Milo defends pedophiles. He claims he as a teenager had consensual sex with a priest. It wasn't forced. It wasn't rape. It was ok, and it was consensual. He says it was ok cause all men look at 15 year old girls and want to have sex with them. He says HE as the teenager had power over the adult man. This interview got him removed from a Conservative forum invitation.
Milo's reply. 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.
Milo is an extreme mysogynist who, like thousands others, attention whores for profit by radical and absurd statements venturing his speel into the world of politics. Generally he is just an ass-hole.
he has been banned from speaking at a Conservative political group. how come no one is bashing his Free Speech being limited, like at Berkeley? I smell hypocrisy.
Looks like he is still sorting through the aftermath of being raped. You should probably respond by heaping ridicule and hate on him.
The difference is obvious. On the one hand you have a group that doesn't want to invite him to hear him talk. On the other hand you have a group that covers their faces and burns down the neighborhood, and wants to do physical harm to the speaker for speaking to groups who DO want to hear him speak. What I smell is ignorance.
Yes. And you are condemning the rape victim because he is expressing a lack of understanding about his rape experience? Well, on a more positive note, at least you aren't stoning him to death for being a rape victim!
He is the victim of a terrible crime, who clearly has not come to grips with the experience. Extending him compassion and understanding seems more appropriate than punishing him through a national campaign of ridicule and hate.
According to the hateful left, you know, those 'tolerant' folks that never rely on alternative facts. LOL
Sounds like the kind of homosexual nightmares are made of. The kind people are afraid of. Out to transform your children
Leave it to RW Fever Swamp to take the rantings and ravings of an off-color Gay comedian and turn it into something "political".
