Misogynist Milo Yiannopoulos Whines to WH Press Sec. Josh Earnest About Losing His Checkmark
So today, “men’s rights advocate” Milo Yiannopoulos used the Breitbart “News” White House press credentials to whine to press secretary Josh Earnest about losing his “verified” check mark on Twitter “for making jokes about the wrong people.” And he actually seems to think President Obama should tell Twitter to give it back to him.
In point of fact, Yiannopoulos is a serial abuser of women on Twitter, and that’s why his checkmark was removed; that’s what he’s calling “jokes about the wrong people.” And Twitter is not “censoring conservatives,” they’re (finally) beginning to enforce their own rules against abuse and harassment — and it turns out that many of the very worst abusers happen to be of the right wing persuasion. Go figure.
Someone should inform Josh Earnest about @Nero’s long history of hateful misogynist harassment. He obviously didn’t know what sort of deranged demagogue he was talking to.
