Milo Yiannopoulos has announced his latest gig, and something about it feels so right…and wrong.
The 37-year old right-wing provocateur is now an unpaid intern in Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene‘s congressional office.
Yiannopoulos took to Telegram to share the news, along with a photo of his intern’s badge.

“I’ve finally been persuaded out of retirement. But my skills are a bit rusty, so the best role I could land was an unpaid internship with a friend. Pray for me!” Yiannopoulos said.
“Mummy always said I’d end up in government!” he added. Greene’s office confirmed the news.
Yiannopoulos rose to notoriety as a writer for the right-wing website Breitbart, and for his defense of so-called “alt-right” hate groups. He’s faced scandal after scandal since, owing to his incendiary words, public affiliations with fringe organizations, and attacks on the queer community. His career took a nosedive in 2017 after he defended pedophiles, and after the revelation that he had not actually written his articles at Breitbart. Rather, several ghostwriters completed the posts, with Yiannopoulos acting as a figurehead. Last year, he announced he was no longer gay after undergoing conversion therapy.

“I was never wholly at home in the gay lifestyle — Who is? Who could be?” he said in an interview with the very Christian and very homophobic LifeSiteNews. “[I] only leaned heavily into it in public because it drove liberals crazy to see a handsome, charismatic, intelligent gay man riotously celebrating conservative principles.”
Yiannopoulos was banned from Twitter in 2016 and from Facebook in 2019. In April, Greene said during a press conference that his bans were “unjust.”

He’s like a homosexual Ann Coulter, but with only half of her humanity and dignity.
PinkoOfTheGange
Good call
Motard
Zero divided by two is still zero.
So – that math totally checks out.
Den
I never noticed that Coulter had anything like humanity or dignity. She certainly is more intelligent and coherent than him, but not by much.
GentlemanCaller
He’s clearly found his intellectual soulmate in MTG. Two attention-starved idiots.
Doug
Wow, talk about desperate. Working with MTG and even doing it for free, lol!!
NateOcean
I always mix these up: are whores the ones that do it for free, or are those the sluts?
Den
Sluts do it for free. So he has been both. I guess his whoredom has passed its expiration date.
I guess his last job of selling plastic Virgin Mary statues on a far right Christian home shopping network (seriously!) didn’t pan out.
Donston
He’s always been an obviously troubled, damaged, embittered, hateful individual who gets off on trolling and will do and say whatever for relevance. Just like giving him attention when he first started was a mistake, continuing to do so serves no purpose.

A match made in hell

If anyone was ever made in a peach tree dish, it’s Why-Lo. Sadly, MGT still won’t get her money’s worth..

“[I] only leaned heavily into it in public because it drove liberals crazy to see a handsome, charismatic, intelligent gay man riotously celebrating conservative principles.”
LOL to this delusional queen of grandeur.
PeteP
37-year old unpaid intern. What pathetic joke.
abfab
Does this woman do any work?
Tim212
None at all. It’s unclear why she needs an intern.
kish
I’m trying to imagine what it would be like to be a 37 year old unpaid intern…
Den
Maybe she is letting him sleep on her couch if he does household
chores.
johncp56
I can not, think of something fitting, without getting booted off,,, what a scummy sticky creep
abfab
This one will do his best to fill in for the loss of Maddy Cawthawn. I miss him so….
Terrycloth
I’m surprised he hasn’t done porn yet…he wants to make money but hates any work involved make it
Ryan99
Porn? Who would put their dick anywhere near him?
He’s just an attention whore. He had nothing to offer, so tried smearing shit all over himself and screaming. That always works for a while, but well, we all know where that ends too.
Den
He really has none of the looks or charisma that one needs for porn. He may refer to himself as a “handsome, charismatic, intelligent gay man”, but that is entirely in his imagination.
Even MTG is better looking then him, and they are both kind of horse faced.
Polaro
I’m sure he whines and complains too much to be in porn. Maybe a bondage video where he’s whipped. I might watch that…for free.
Den
Before he “became straight and christian” he had defended sex with adolescents (not pedophilia, but ephebophilia). Willing to bet at some point some young man comes forward and accuses him of doing more than just defending it. Let’s see how deeply hypocritical folks like MTG are if they defend him as “washed in the blood of Jesus” or some other crap.
Donston
This dude is a hateful a-hole and clearly damaged and disturbed. But let’s not put words in people’s mouths. He’s never claimed that he’s “straight”. He’s not even claiming that he’s no longer inherently homosexual or that he’s experienced degrees of fluidity. He says that he’s rejecting a “gay” identity and claims that he’s not going to sexually engage with men or date men any longer. Those are different things.
But yes, I wouldn’t be surprised if in the future someone claimed Milo tried to hook up with them when they were underage or someone claims that Milo harassed/assaulted them. He comes off like someone who is really insecure about his past traumas, his mental health struggles, his paraphiliacs and fetishes just as much as he’s insecure about his queerness. While he expects the world to pay for it. Ultimately, he’s an a-hole that everyone needs to stop promoting and keeping up with.
Polaro
I will say one thing, from experience, the closeted gay boys on the hill are the worst in bed…the absolute worst. Good luck with that, Milo.
Den
“But let’s not put words in people’s mouths. He’s never claimed that he’s “straight”. He’s not even claiming that he’s no longer inherently homosexual or that he’s experienced degrees of fluidity.”
Words have meaning, and that meaning is not mutable on a whim. He has said he is an ex-gay…that means heterosexual or straight. He has claimed he was never gay, but simply “chose” the “lifestyle” to confuse and anger his mother. And he has also made the claim (shared by most evangelicals) that homosexuality is ultimately an addiction, not an orientation or intrinsic part of a person. Claiming that Jesus “freed” him from it. I strongly doubt he sees sexuality in the same way you do (most folks don’t after all), and it therefore safe to say that his supporters think he is now straight, and if he is simply insane and not a disingenuous grifter (or even if the the latter or both), he does as well.

Poor thing has lost her looks and now has an unpaid job.
Well, at least Marjorie can keep him in peroxide.
Polaro
Looks like he’s off the blonde. I wonder if he wears the pearls still under the button up?
Boo Radley
“[I] only leaned heavily into it in public because it drove liberals crazy to see a handsome, charismatic, intelligent gay man riotously celebrating conservative principles.” Who’s he talking about?
Cam
Margery Taylor Greene is a Republican, so of course she would want to hire someone who defended pedophilia. Republicans seem to have a massive number of child sexual predators in their party.
Polaro
Sadly, Milo could have amounted to something. Why he chose the path he chose is a mystery. I would have expected a 180 degree about face and a rehabilitation plan for his reputation. He really isn’t dumb, like Marge. Instead he has doubled down on the absolute worst option available.
Den
Yiannopolous was expelled from his all boys school. He was dropped out of the University of Manchester, and was expelled from Wolfson College. He has clearly been “damaged goods” for a long time; so whether or not he could ever amount to something other than a grifter or opportunist is not clear.
What is clear is that he has the same kind of mean streak as Ann Coulter and all those other non-fact based “pundits”. Though they are clearly less damaged than he.
Jaquelope
I guess that’s his choice, but I’m sure he’ll suffer the consequences soon enough. They always seem to, in one way or another.
Heywood Jablowme
Are those UK political bookies taking bets on how long it will Milo to file a lawsuit? Now that he’s (supposedly) not gay anymore maybe he can date his boss MTG and be a #MeToo story. That will be a hoot!
Kangol2
How far Miss Milo has fallen!
Any word from his (ex-?) husband?
Den
I did a Google search and could not find anything beyond Milo’s statement that he has been “demoted to houseboy” but that Milo could still “afford to keep him in Givenchy and buy him a new Porsche”. All interesting since estimates of Milo’s current worth vary from $250,000 to $5 million. Betting on the former.
shannestad
Personally, I would have rather not have seen this article give him any more exposure.
CNY1983
honestly, this is the most boring human being ive run across in all my born days. i tried to read what he had to say but after the second sentence, i realized that i couldn’t care less if he fell off the lip of niagara falls. he shouldn’t waste any of his precious time not being on fox entertainment “news?” because he’s got so much to give that audience.
