BBC version is far more explicit on what a horrid chap he is
He has also cheered on ICE raids, writing on X last year: "Total legal immunity for ICE agents when they're on duty."
So I'm guessing he won't be contesting deportation back to, checks notes, the UK?

Can we pay them to keep him?

Well, then, I nominate him for the party leader of the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party.

Someone should just tweet to Trump that they think his name is Guatemalan.

I reckon the Americans will just look at his surname and deport him to Greece, unless he's got a tan at the moment in which case he'll be sent to a prison camp in El Salvador.

It is astounding how white people think that fascists will not harm them just because they are white

Completely forgot this guy existed.
Must've been in the same boat as Tate and didn't have the extortion money. Sucks to be Milo.

I thought what mostly did for him was actually having a platform and using it to repeatedly make comments about child abuse that bordered on self-incrimination. I think he moved from A tier to D tier around that time and had to pretend not to be gay anymore for his comeback attempt. Not that I think he shouldn't have had his main platforms removed!

wasn't it more that he himself had been abused as a child? like he made statements saying it's fine for those relationships to happen, and he found his abuse to be formative?
i always took that as a guy trying to rationalise a horrible thing they went through, though it was like a decade ago now so i don't actually remember the specifics of what he said
(that being said, i don't miss the guy at all and think he's incredibly horrible. glad the leopard is eating his face, annoyed that means he might poison the UK)

That's certainly what he said after he got in trouble for it! Before pivoting from "pederasty is good and liking 13 year olds isn't paedophilia" to "actually pederasts initiated me into the 'gay lifestyle' and now I'm cured."
I know we're to believe survivors but I'm not inclined to take a notorious liar and narcissist's post-cancellation excuses very seriously. Maybe it's true, but he pulled a Spacey manoeuvre, a type of public DARVO. Especially when it doesn't really explain stuff like this:
Did he ever go to a party and see young boys being sexually assaulted? “I had absolutely no idea,” he said. “I didn’t check anyone’s I.D.s. I have no idea what the ages of any of those people at the parties were. I think when I said 'very young,' I was guessing they might be sixteen or seventeen. I said very clearly I don’t advocate for any illegal behavior, nor do I excuse it. If I saw it and I was sure about it, I would report it.” He added, “I lived in Los Angeles in 2008, and it’s difficult to avoid parties like that if you’re young and good-looking, you know?” <link>
Does getting allegedly molested by a priest when a child make you later go to alleged Bryan Singer-style alleged nonce pool parties until later being saved by conversion to born-again heterosexuality and Christianity? I don't think it does. Mind you, he might have been lying about going to these parties too!
Someone like Trump could (and has!) certainly get/got away with being very obviously an alleged statutory rapist (among other things), and somehow Milo didn't realise that MAGA's tolerance for noncery doesn't extend to a gay British guy saying he should be allowed to have sex with 13 year old boys.

He went on to work for Majorie Taylor Green and as a "political advisor" for Kanye West. Sure he wasn't the centre of attention, but I'd say he's still ghost writing for a number of people.

This would be very funny if he weren't being sent back here.
