LOS ANGELES -- Right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos was trying to clarify past comments on relationships between boys and older men after a conservative site posted a collection of edited video clips that set social media abuzz.

After the polarizing Breitbart News editor was invited this weekend to speak at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference sparked a backlash, the Reagan Battalion tweeted video clips Sunday in which Yiannopoulos discusses Jews, sexual consent, statutory rape, child abuse and homosexuality.

Yiannopoulos wrote on Facebook blamed deceptive editing and his own “sloppy phrasing” for any indication he supported pedophilia.

The British author says he spoke of his own relationship when he was 17 with a man who was 29. The age of consent in the U.K. is 16.

A note for idiots (UPDATED):

I do not support pedophilia. Period. It is a vile and disgusting crime, perhaps the very worst. There are selectively edited videos doing the rounds, as part of a co-ordinated effort to discredit me from establishment Republicans, that suggest I am soft on the subject.

If it somehow comes across (through my own sloppy phrasing or through deceptive editing) that I meant any of the ugly things alleged, let me set the record straight: I am completely disgusted by the abuse of children.

Some facts to consider:

1. I have outed THREE pedophiles in my career as a journalist. That's three more than any of my critics and a peculiar strategy for a supposed pedophile apologist.

(a) Luke Bozier, former business partner of Louise Mensch LINK

(b) Nicholas Nyberg, anti-GamerGate activist who self-described as a pedophile and white nationalist
LINK

(c) Chris Leydon, a London photographer who has a rape trial starting March 13 thanks to my reporting.

2. I have repeatedly expressed disgust at pedophiles in my journalism.

3. I have never defended and would never defend child abusers, as my reporting history shows. The world is messy and complicated, and I recognize it as such, as this furore demonstrates. But that is a red line for any decent person.

4. The videos do not show what people say they show. I *did* joke about giving better head as a result of clerical sexual abuse committed against me when I was a teen. If I choose to deal in an edgy way on an internet livestream with a crime I was the victim of that's my prerogative. It's no different to gallows humor from AIDS sufferers.

Normally I'd write that he's obviously stepped in it, but we both know how elastic convictions are these days. I never liked the guy, though he's generally more media savvy than I've given him credit for. His apparent support for pederasty won't help. Maybe he'll realize that even trolling approaches a line.

It's not going to change anyone's mind. But having sex with a 13 y.o. is not pedophilia because ped requires pre-puberty. It's certainly a very bad idea and criminal but not pedophilia.

Did you say the same thing when Dems were trying to clarify what was happening in the Project Veritas videos?

Milo Yiannopoulos: I do not support pedophilia. I just believe NAMBLA is a great organization.

Could it be that his words were taken out of context and or edited? It seems as if the goal is to get CPAC to disinvite Milo and then move on to discrediting the next target, KellyAnne Conway. And so forth... and anything to: discredit non progressives.

Sorry, I don't have an inkling of respect for Jake Tapper...

Ah, so now Milo is taking pages out of Planned Parenthood's playbook. And you're falling for it.

Anyone that didn't realize his comments were edited needs to wake up. He is the left's enemy so he's going to be targeted heavily.

You're aware that Milo's 'support' for Trump is akin to Stephen Colbert's 'support' for Bush, right? He's playing a character.

Why do you support infantcide?

I'm using a blunt instrument, but I hope you can grasp the point here without further explanation.

You trust the word of a homophobe about a gay man's morals?
