BREAKING: ACU Uninvites Milo from Speaking at CPAC, but Pres. Trump Will Be

After a video surfaced of controversial media personality Milo Yiannopoulos making comments about pedophilia, ACU Chairman Matt Schlapp announced Monday that Milo has been “uninvited” from speaking at the upcoming Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).

From ACU Chairman Matt Schlapp:

“Due to the revelation of an offensive video in the last 24 hours condoning pedophilia, the American Conservative Union has decided to rescind the invitation of Milo Yiannopoulos to speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference.

We realize that Mr. Yiannopoulos has responded on Facebook, but it is insufficient.  It is up to him to answer the tough questions and we urge him to further address these disturbing comments.

We initially extended the invitation knowing that the free speech issue on college campuses is a battlefield where we need brave, conservative standard-bearers.”

It was also announced on Monday that President Donald Trump will be a speaker at CPAC.
