"In 2022 he claimed credit for organizing a notorious dinner for Mr. Trump and Mr. West that also included the white supremacist Nick Fuentes."

"(Mr. Yiannopoulos claimed the meeting was an ambush, meant to 'make Trump’s life miserable.') Two years later, Mr. Yiannopoulos joined [Kanye] West’s exploratory campaign for president. Mr. Yiannopoulos, who was openly gay and often said he was attracted to Mr. Trump, announced in 2017 that he had been married to a man who is a U.S. citizen, but never revealed the full identity of that person. He later claimed that he was 'ex-gay,' and had 'demoted' his husband to the role of 'housemate.'"

From "Milo Yiannopoulos, a Right-Wing Provocateur, Is Arrested by ICE/Mr. Yiannopoulos, a prominent early supporter of President Trump, was detained at the New Orleans airport. The Trump administration publicized his arrest and shared a mug shot" (NYT gift link).

• Is there some kind of idea that if you're not sexually attracted to your spouse you're not married anymore?! Good luck in divorce court.


• Being a prankster may cause you to imagine that the rules don't apply to you, but no one really thinks they don't.

The amount of shape shifting that goes on in the so-called influencer class is disturbing. Integrity always takes a back seat to a few bucks from the web. Sanity, too, it seems.

Unfortunately yet a another example of the right scrupulously applying the rules to its own people. We will never win by doing this. See how the Dems are being very careful with the DSA. We need to do the same with fringe righties. CC, JSM

I'm so old I can remember when Democrats thought hanging out with Nazis was a negative.

“imagine that the rules don't apply to you, but no one really thinks they don't”

I think that is really the short of this long news story.

So, they had a gay old time, but now they have transitioned, and the affair is no longer a viable choice. The relationship gas evolved as a burden. NYeT. Never. Social justice demands a divorce.

Every asshole eventually wears out his welcome is the theme of this and the Prince Harry Megan stories this week.

When I saw the reference to “Mr. West” I thought “Cornel”?

Human husbandry. Queer.

A lot of weird people have come to prominence this century.

There are a lot of reasons for this. In this particular case, though, we can thank Steve Bannon, who really platformed Milo when he (Bannon) was trying to expand Breitbart's reach after Andrew Breitbart's sad, untimely, unexpected death.

Did Trump know Fuentes was a "White Supremacist" but chose to dine with him anyway? How about Kanye dining with a "White Supremacist"?

Nick Fuentes is now the darling of the left.
Watch how his racism and KKK background melt away.

Another outrageous provocateur working the border between politics and exhibitionism. Dude made Hasan look like a piker.

If Nick Fuentes-Groyoper is anti-Israel - Nick Fuentes-Groyoper is IN on the left... and the Tuq'r straightjackets.

Well, bye!
