It's kind of like Paul Ryan saying trump is a textbook racist.

When people now say "you endorsed a racist" what is he going to say? "Uuuh, I don't think he's a racist, he just made some public remarks that were textbook racists"

It's stupefying really. Now the story is CPAC invited a racist. Is he a racist? Well CPAC sure as shite thinks so because they canceled his appearance.

And CPAC shouldn't have invited Milo. Not because he's a pedo who may say pedo things, but because he sells outlandishness.

That is, of course, if CPAC wants to be taken seriously. I'm not involved in it so it doesn't make much difference to me, but IMO they brought it on themselves. There is a time and place for Milo, but I wouldn't think CPAC would be it. Or at least, if they seek to carve out a spot for him, they should have assumed controversy may take over the substance of what they're trying to accomplish.

Blending ideological conservatives with trolling elements is going to continue to be a messy affair. I'm not necessarily opposed to either contingent, they just don't really blend neatly despite the services each side can provide the other.
