Ex-Breitbart editor has vocally supported immediate deportations for anyone who can’t prove US residency.

Well, he got exactly what he was asking for.

That said, I’m not happy to have him back here.

He eventually became locked into a feud with fellow far-right commentator Laura Loomer, a Trump administration ally who claimed on Friday that she had reported Yiannopoulos to ICE over his immigration status.

He fell out of favor in conservative circles after the publication of a video in which he condoned sexual relations with boys as young as 13.

But the conservatives love doing that! I guess he said the quiet part out loud.

    So why does he get deported to the UK when the others get deported to Uganda or El Salvador?

    Born as Milo Hanrahan, Yiannopoulos was born and raised in Chatham, Kent, England. His father has Greek and Irish ancestry and his mother is German born. He is described as a practising Roman Catholic. His parents divorced when he was a child. Yiannopoulos’ mother is Jewish. Yiannopoulos has referred to himself as Jewish; according to the BBC, his maternal grandmother was Jewish. Raised by his mother and her second husband, Yiannopoulos has stated that he did not have a good relationship with his stepfather. As a teenager, Yiannopoulos lived with his paternal grandmother whose surname, Yiannopoulos, he later adopted.

    How does a Greek-Irish-German Jewish Britain grow up to such a hateful cunt? He’s been seriously failed by life.

      It doesn’t sound like he had a particularly stable upbringing so he probably has a lot of undirected anger towards life in general. Not only were his parents separated, but he didn’t spend any time with either of them, you’ve got to wonder why that was.

      “White” is a political ingroup, not an ethnicity. The label is ultimately inseparable from claims to superiority over some Other. It is alarmingly easy for people in a sociopolitically comfortable situation to assure themselves, they are part of the inner ring. I’ve heard of Arab taxi drivers in Egypt describing themselves as white - unlike all these Africans who dare to live in northern Africa. Those urban-poor assholes would be equally fucked by whatever nationalist push they wind up supporting.

      So I’m sadly not surprised when some mongrel immigrant homosexual says, ‘I like most of what the Nazis did.’

      Perhaps we should just send him back and tell him to adopt a less foreign sounding last name. Let’s see if the Americans pick him up again if he claims his name is Michael Smith or something.

    We should put together a suicide squad of deported idiot influencers like Tate and this numb-nuts and tell them they’re the elite anti-woke squad. Their job is to walk up to the gate flapping their mouths while the SAS sneak around the back.

    Why is it that whenever I hear about these people they’re always total nut cases.

    It’s never “right wing politician says…”, it’s always “far right political talking head who espouses support for CSAM and human trafficking who is themselves not a resident of the US says…”. Why are none of these guys ever normal?

    If I wrote a book and everyone in it behaved like these people everyone would rightfully call me out for being a hack who can only write two-dimensional, unrealistic characters.

    “He fell out of favor in conservative circles after the publication of a video in which he condoned sexual relations with boys as young as 13.” A pity the USA didn’t keep this little piece of scum.

      It wasn’t the pedophilia the administration had issue with, it was the gayness

        The administration is fine with Peter Thiel, Sam Altman et al. It’s the fact that he’s not got money and influence.
