Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Calls Release of Milo Video an Attack ‘By Proxy’ on Trump and Bannon

‘Does Look Like a Coordinated Hit’

Far right wing website Breitbart has been publicly silent on the video in which their senior editor, provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos, openly defends statutory rape and sexual relationships between adult men and teenaged boys as young as 13 – until now. 

Breitbart editor-in-chief Alex Marlow appeared on a Breitbart daily radio show Tuesday to discuss the video and Yiannopoulos’ comments, which he called “appalling,” “very troubling and upsetting,” and “not defensible,” while attacking the left and those opposed to President Trump for its release.

Marlow did not denounce Yiannopoulos, nor did he say if Breitbart will fire Yiannopoulos. Instead, he used a good portion of the segment to bash liberals and “Never Trumpers.”

Marlow said the release of the video, which was recorded in 2015, “does look like a coordinated hit.”

“The problem is the video is a real video with horrible things on it,” he acknowledged. “But it still is unfortunate that it does look like the forces on the left, and some of the Republican establishment and the never-Trump movement perhaps,” Marlow insisted.

“There seems to be growing evidence this was all coordinated to wait for a peak moment when Milo was red hot, coming off his Bill Maher appearance, and the CPAC [speech] and they sat on this story and They held it for maximum political damage, which is really sort of sickening, which they would keep this from the public if they had it until they tried to wait until they could do the most damage to his career and to Breitbart, and by proxy to people like Trump and Bannon and stuff like that,” referring to the President and the White House Chief Strategist, Steve Bannon, who reportedly resigned as Breitbart publisher when Trump was elected.

Marlow went on to claim that “there are millions of examples of the left normalizing behavior, similar to what Milo describes.”

Yiannopoulos defended older adult men offering emotional support and socialization to teens as young as 13 and 14, and used his own experience as an example, saying, “I’m grateful for Father Michael. I wouldn’t give nearly such good head if it wasn’t for him.”
