Fox Business Network’s Charlie Gasparino is reporting this afternoon that there is serious debate going on within Breitbart over whether to let Milo Yiannopoulos go.

Yiannopoulos was disinvited from CPAC after a video of him talking about pedophilia got a lot of attention and widespread condemnation. Yiannopoulos has said that he is “horrified by pedophilia” and has done a lot throughout his career in exposing and outing child abusers, explaining that his comments have been taken out of context.

Gasparino has been reporting this afternoon that Yiannopoulos may end up facing dismissal from Breitbart:

Gasparino said on FBN this afternoon that there’s “fierce debate” within Breitbart over whether to let him go, explaining that while he is well-liked within Breitbart, there are some people there saying these particular statements from him are a bridge too far.

Gasparino’s report was followed up with these:
