Following a controversial interview on Real Time With Bill Maher, a video of him endorsing pedophilia, the news of his book Dangerous getting canned by Simon and Schuster, controversial editor Milo Yuannopoulos has resigned from Breitbart News.

Milo, who is known for his writing that offended women, Muslims, gay people, trans people, and Black people, has been senior editor at Bretibart since 2014, helping to turn it into a leading “alt-right” news organization.

Milo’s quick popularity was championed by high Republican figures, including Donald Trump’s senior advisor Steve Bannon, who called him a conservative truth-teller and champion of free speech, reports the Washington Post.

“Breitbart News has stood by me when others caved,” Milo said in a statement. “They have allowed me to carry conservative and libertarian ideas to communities that would otherwise never have heard them. They have been a significant factor in my success. I’m grateful for that freedom and for the friendships I forged there. I would be wrong to allow my poor choice of words to detract from my colleagues’ important reporting, so today I am resigning from Breitbart, effective immediately. This decision is mine alone.”

Breitbart later released a statement of their own saying, “Milo Yiannopoulos’s bold voice has sparked much-needed debate on important cultural topics confronting universities, the LGBTQ community, the press, and the tech industry. We accepted his resignation.”

Still, despite that Milo managed to save Breitbart, his comments on pedophilia seemed to be too much. Breitbart editor Alexander Marlow said on his SiriusXM radio show today, “It’s all very upsetting and something we take very seriously at Breitbart.” He also said his comments were indefensible and appalling.

Sources also say that editors at the publication threatened an internal revolt if Milo wasn’t fired or repremanded, WP reports.

The pedophilia comments were in reference to a video that he made last year on a podcast called The Drunken Peasants, in which he condoned sexual relationships with boys as young as 13 and grown men.

He even made a joke about when he had sex as a boy with a Catholic priest, saying he wouldn’t have been nearly as good at oral sex if it wasn’t for that.

“Pedophilia is not a sexual attraction to somebody 13 years old who is sexually mature,” he further explained in the video. “Pedophilia is attraction to children who have not reached puberty.”
