Milo Yiannopolous disinvited from CPAC after 'pro-paedophilia' video emerges Milo Yiannopolous disinvited from CPAC after 'pro-paedophilia' video emerges

Milo Yiannopoulos has been disinvited from speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference Controversial right-wing journalist Milo Yiannopoulos has been dropped from speaking at a major US political conference after a podcast emerged in which he endorsed sexual relationships between “younger boys and older men”.
Mr Yiannopoulos, a senior editor at Breitbart News, was due to speak at the  Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Maryland. The conference, which will be headlined by Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, and top White House aides, Steve Bannon and Reince Priebus, is due to start on Wednesday.
But Matt Schlapp, chairman of the group which sponsors CPAC, said that a decision had been taken to disinvite Mr Yiannopoulos. It followed the emergence of a podcast from last year in which the Breitbart editor appeared to condone paedophilia.
In the  recently resurfaced episode of “The Drunken Peasants” podcast, Mr Yiannopoulos recalled his own sexual abuse as a teen and did not condemn similar relationships between children and men. 
He said young boys “discover who they are” through such relationships, even when they’re sexual in nature, and can give them security and safety and provide them with love and a reliable rock where they can't speak to their parents”.
A host of the podcast then said: “Sounds like Catholic priest molestation to me.”
“I’m grateful for Father Michael,” Mr Yiannopoulos replied, saying his sexual performance had been helped as a result.
