Alt-Right agitator Milo Yiannopoulos paid a heavy price for statements he made in defense of pedophilia, that even his own sponsors felt he took too far on Monday, February, 20.

There is report that Breitbart is considering handing their editor the pink slip in the face of all the backlash he has faced, since a segment from his recent interview with The Drunken Peasants podcast leaked to reveal his position that “Pedophilia is not a sexual attraction to somebody 13 years old who is sexually mature," but rather, an "attraction to children who have not reached puberty."

Should the far right publication release Yiannopoulos it would almost certainly signify a sudden downfall at the height of his rising popularity. Only one month ago Yiannopoulos became an ironic symbol of free speech when a scheduled talk at the University of California was cancelled due to violent protests on the Berkeley campus. Over the past year Yiannopoulos has sparked numerous instances of public outrage, and faced cancellations by college campus' and social media bans for statements deemed offensive to women, transgender people, minorities and other historically oppressed groups. But at no point have his own supporters turned on him until the Drunken Peasants podcast leak.

While defending remarks he made about men and boys engaging in sexual relationships last year, Yiannopoulos doubled down by validating "some of those relationships between younger boys and older men, the sort of coming of age relationships." He admitted to himself having experienced dating grown men before he was of legal age, and contended that he believes himself to have been the pursuer. He then defended a scenario wherein a man in his late 20's or early 30's might oblige passes made by a 13-year-old, characterizing such engagements as "relationships in which those older men have helped those young boys to discover who they are and give them security and safety and provide them with love . . . and sort of a rock where they can’t speak to their parents.”

By Monday evening publisher Simon & Schuster had cancelled his forthcoming book "Dangerous," over the remarks. His highly anticipated appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference, which is expected to be attended by President Trump, was also nixed, with American Conservative Union president Matt Schlapp stating, "We continue to believe that CPAC is a constructive forum for controversies and disagreements among conservatives, however, there is no disagreement among our attendees on the evils of sexual abuse of children."
