Fox Business’ Gasparino: There’s ‘Fierce Debate’ Inside Breitbart Over Whether to Let Milo Go
Fox Business Network’s Charlie Gasparino is reporting this afternoon that there is serious debate going on within Breitbart over whether to let Milo Yiannopoulos go.
Yiannopoulos was disinvited from CPAC after a video of him talking about pedophilia got a lot of attention and widespread condemnation. Yiannopoulos has said that he is “horrified by pedophilia” and has done a lot throughout his career in exposing and outing child abusers, explaining that his comments have been taken out of context.
Gasparino has been reporting this afternoon that Yiannopoulos may end up facing dismissal from Breitbart:
