Julian Assange Weighs In On The Milo Yiannopoulos Drama

Milo Yiannopoulos is expected to hold a press conference to discuss his controversial comments on pedophilia, which led to the cancelation of his speech at CPAC and the cancelation of his book, “Dangerous.”

Conservatives are divided over the entire debacle, but one high profile guy recently came to Milo’s defense: Julian Assange. He recently activated his Twitter account…

Our publisher @JulianAssange has activated his personal account and made his first tweet today. See @JulianAssange

…and has been tweeting away.

US 'liberals' today celebrate the censorship of right-wing UK provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos over teen sex quote.https://t.co/bz6dH0jyhk

I’m gonna go out on a limb here… I don’t think Assange is helping…

@JulianAssange Im pretty sure it was rightwingers at CPAC who cancelled/censored him and rightwingers at simonschuster who scrapped his book

@JulianAssange when are you going to face justice in those two sexual assault cases?

@JulianAssange you have the right to free speech, not to book deals/paid speeches, stop conflating the two things you hack

@JulianAssange you don't get it it was a conservative blog that exposed Milo.

@JulianAssange 1st amendment bars the GOVERNMENT from censoring speech. It doesn't absolve individuals from consequences of their speech.
