Many criticized the move because Yiannopoulos is not seen as a traditional conservative — if a conservative at all. Instead, Yiannopoulos is seen as the figurehead of the alt-Right movement, a movement that prides itself in nationalism, which many accuse of racism and anti-Semitism.
Jonah Goldberg, a senior editor for the conservative magazine National Review who is seen as one of the conservative leaders in post-modern politics, said the move to include Yiannopoulos as the keynote speaker is “sad and disappointing.”

Still, ACU chairman Matt Schlapp defended the decision in comments to the Hollywood Reporter , which broke the story about Yiannopoulos.
“An epidemic of speech suppression has taken over college campuses,” Schlapp told the news outlet. “Milo has exposed their liberal thuggery and we think free speech includes hearing Milo’s important perspective.”
Then on Sunday morning, less than one day after the controversial announcement about the CPAC speaker lineup, video surfaced of Yiannopoulos allegedly defending pedophilia in the past.
“We get hung up on this sort of child abuse stuff,” Yiannopoulos is heard saying in a video, acknowledging that he has a controversial point of view, “to the point where we are heavily policing consensual adults.”
“In the homosexual world, particularly, some of those relationships between younger boys and older men — the sort of ‘coming of age’ relationship — those relationships in which those older men help those young boys discover who they are and give them security and safety and provide them with love and a reliable, sort of rock, where they can’t speak to their parents,” he added.
“It sounds like molestation to me,” an unnamed person tells Yiannopoulos in reply, likely an interviewer. “It sounds like Catholic priest molestation to me.”
“But you know what? I’m grateful for Father Michael. I wouldn’t give nearly such good head if it wasn’t for him,” Yiannopoulos replied, using a euphemism for male oral sex.
Breaking: We obtained the # CPAC2017 Milo Yiannopoulos introductory video.
This is a must watch!
Well done @ mschlapp .
Here is a longer cut where Milo Yiannopoulos says that he "is advocating" for legal sex between 13 year olds! & older men. # CPAC2017
It doesn’t end there.
In an interview with comedian Joe Rogan in 2015, Yiannopoulos discussed his sexual relationship with “Father Michael,” which he allegedly had as a teenager at age 14.
During the interview, he even tried to normalize pedophilia.
“So you’re saying you’ve never seen a 15-year-old girl, at any point in your life, that you thought was hot?” Yiannopoulos asked.
“Yeah, when I was 15!” Rogan replied. “I’m not retarded dude.”
“No, when you were 25 or 30, you’ve never seen girls you thought were hot?” Yiannopoulos asked again.
“No, I thought they were little kids!” Rogan said.
Later, Rogan called “Father Michael” a “terrible person” for allegedly having a sexual relationship with Yiannopoulos when he was a young teenager, but Yiannopoulos tried to downplay it.
“It wasn’t molestation,” he alleged
“That’s absolutely molestation,” Rogan shot back.
Later in the interview, Yiannopoulos talked about a Hollywood party he went to years ago that had “very young boys” in attendance for sex.
Yiannopoulos has since responded to the allegations on Facebook Sunday afternoon denying them completely.
Yiannopoulos wrote:
There’s a video going around that purports to show me saying anti-semitic things (nope) and advocating for pedophilia (big nope). The shocking thing? It’s Republicans doing it. Sad to see establishment types collapse into the same tactics as social justice warriors: name calling, deceptively edited videos, confected moral outrage and public shaming. This is why they deserve to burn — and why they are burning. Here’s how I actually feel about pedophilia, which you’d know if you’d actually watched or read anything I’ve ever done. Or, you know, if you had two brain cells to rub together. There’s only one appropriate response to this sort of behavior, and it’s a gigantic F**K YOU!
In addition, it appears that the ACU board was not consulted about Yiannopoulos being named a speaker at this years CPAC, let alone the keynote.
“The ACU board was not consulted on this, nor was there a board vote,” Ned Ryun wrote on Twitter Saturday, who sits on the ACU board.
Last year’s keynote speaker was conservative radio host Glenn Beck, who many criticized in 2016 for being an outspoken critic of then-candidate Donald Trump. Beck didn’t support Trump because he didn’t think Trump was conservative enough.
The new golden boy of the far/alt/right has some skeletons in his closet.
Sounds like the skeletons are starting to rattle.
But there's only one bone that Father Michael was interested in.
In an interview with comedian Joe Rogan in 2015, Yiannopoulos discussed his sexual relationship with “Father Michael,” which he allegedly had as a teenager at age 14.
Rogan was right. It absolutely WAS molestation! Should make for an interesting CPAC this year.
I was molested as a child by a man. Many times over the course of four months. Of course I was only 7 years old so maybe I didn't appreciate it as a "coming of age thing" as this bastard did.
I am 60 years old now, 53 years later, it still haunts me and gives me nightmares. I still sometimes wake up terrified. I still feel the emotional and even the physical pain. There is no justification for pedophilia. Ever. The scars are with you for your entire life. They never, ever go away.
"But you know what? I’m grateful for Father Michael. I wouldn’t give nearly such good head if it wasn’t for him,” Yiannopoulos replied"
Shame on you, Republicans - for deceptively manipulating this ambiguous comment. Lol!
Milo has officially been disinvited from CPAC 2017. Lol
What!!!! he was disinvited from CPAC, this is too good. Our resident complainers about the Great Milo being banned from speaking on college campuses by liberals.
Yet, the CPAC doesn't want him....LMAO.
Gotta love those hypocritical conservatives.
I imagine Milo's short career will be coming to a screeching halt!!!
Banned from twitter for hate speech last year, and now supporting pedophiles, he's perfect for Breitbart.
Breitbart News May Boot Milo Yiannopoulos Over Sex Comments.
Ooppss, book deal gone and now Breitbart is thinking of dropping the conservative hero.
When someone always says whatever they want sooner or later they are going to say something most people object to.
Bannons' got room in the Trump Cabinet for another asshole buddy! got most of them there now.

Reading this makes me ill... I hope the man gets some psychiatric help.
He's talking the Nambla line, he needs to be shot in the head at close range.
The only people that will now welcome Milo is Hollywood, they are ground zero for pedophiles.
There are double standards. Milo joked, Roman Polanski raped.
Sarah Silverman has made pedophile jokes. Lena Dunham admitted to molesting her sister. Roman Polanski anally raped a 13-year old girl (after he drugged her).
Since raping a girl, Polanski has risen to stardom in Hollywood, earning standing ovations from adoring crowds. Lena Dunham had a show on HBO for five years, and Silverman remains in the game.
Did you forget Fire Island, Aeonpax? Thought that was the gay Mecca for all gays to 'strut their stuff'>
