Another video from Milo Yiannopoulos’ past surfaced Friday, showing the outspoken provocateur calling victims of sexual abuse by the Catholic Church “whinging, selfish brats.”
In an interview with Gavin McInness on The Gavin McInnes Show, Yiannopoulos says there’s a “great taboo against conflating homosexuals with pedophiles, you’re not allowed to say that of course these things exist on a spectrum.”
After host McInness brings up the church’s scandals, Yiannopoulos brings up the now-infamous “Father Michael” and says that without him, he wouldn’t know “a fraction” of what he “knew in his 20s” (Yiannopoulos has joked in the past that a presumably fictitious “Father Michael” taught him, in his youth, how to perform oral sex expertly on an older man).
Yiannopoulos goes on to complain about all the people who “suddenly remember they were abused 20 years later and suddenly decide it was a problem” are “whinging selfish brats.” He also says that the abuse “really is not that big of a deal” and that victims “can’t let it ruin [their lives].”
Back in February, Yiannapoulos resigned from Breitbart after a video surfaced of him defending pederasty, sex between adult men and boys in their early teens. “I think in the gay world, some of the most important, enriching and incredibly life affirming, important shaping relationships very often between younger boys and older men, they can be hugely positive experiences for those young boys,” he said in the interview.
The backlash was swift: Simon & Schuster canceled its $250,000 book deal with and CPAC dropped him as its keynote speaker.
Towards the end of the newly resurfaced priest abuse video, McInness interjects, clearly disturbed by the tangent. “I just don’t see the big deal,” Yiannopoulos responds.
