Is Milo a pedophile and a white supremacist?
Many liberals, college students and much of the establishment media have said that Milo is a white supremacist and a supporter of pedophilia.
Milo acknowledged that he has inadvertently contributed to the attacks on him because of his "gallows humor," and "sloppy choice of words" that he regrets," but he has a long track record of condemning the same things he has been accused of.
In fact, when comparing the allegations made against Milo to his actual words, it's pretty clear that the charges against him are bogus.
(The charges against Milo are similar to allegations made against US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who in 1974 praised and quoted a draft Senate bill that read, "A person is guilty of (rape) if he engages in a sexual act with another person ... (who is) less than twelve years old." Some used her statement to accuse her of advocating that the age of sexual consent be reduced to 12.)
Since he has been in the public spotlight, Milo has repeatedly condemned the exact things he's accused of. For instance, earlier this week Milo said, "I do not support child abuse. It's a disgusting crime of which I am a victim," and in September 2015, Milo wrote an article titled, Here's Why the Progressive Left Keeps Sticking Up for Pedophiles.
In the article, Milo
strongly denounces "adults who crave sexual intimacy with children," while
pointing out that there is "... a disturbing trend of pedophilia
activism on the Left, which has gone out on a limb time and time again to
normalise child abuse. From the 1970s to the present day, organised pedophilia
has been a recurring problem for the supposedly progressive movement ... the
left makes excuses for them, they try to legitimize them, they try to
habilitate them as an unfortunate sexual orientation ... Why are defences of
pedophilia so rampant on the Left?... In the U.S ... relativism has even seeped
into the military. As was recently reported,
American soldiers in Afghanistan are now being instructed to ignore the sexual
abuse of boys by Afghan allies."
Milo goes on to say that "pro-pedophile
activism continues to surface on the Left in a way that it simply doesn't on
the Right. Salon is one of the worst offenders: the left-wing
website runs sympathetic features on pedophilia with alarming regularity ... In
2012, the site ran a story entitled, Meet pedophiles who mean well, a story about a group called 'Virtuous Pedophiles'."
(The Virtuous Pedophiles website says: "We do not choose to be attracted to children, and we cannot make that attraction go away. But we can resist the temptation to abuse children sexually, and many of us present no danger to children whatsoever. Yet we are despised for having a sexual attraction that we did not choose, cannot change, and successfully resist.")
