Alt right poster boy Milo Yiannopoulos could have found a way to stay in the U.S. despite quitting Breitbart News.

When Yiannopoulos parted ways with Breitbart he had just 60 days to find a new sponsor or his employment visa would be revoked.

The journalist, a British citizen, is in the U.S. on an O-1B visa for 'aliens of extraordinary ability', but without a sponsor he would be deported in 60 days.

Alt right poster boy Milo Yiannopoulos could have found a way to stay in the US; he has reportedly signed a deal to be part of a secret new media venture

It is unclear who his initial sponsor was but it is most likely to have been Breitbart.

Yiannopoulos, a former senior editor at Breitbart, is apparently not worried, as he is said to have already lined up a new sponsor.

He has signed a deal to be part of a secret new media venture, according to TMZ. The people behind the move have agreed in principle to file the necessary paperwork.

Yiannopoulos resigned from Breitbart on Tuesday after half a dozen employees threatened to leave over comments he made around pedophilia.

Taking part in an online debate between a group of men, the 33-year-old appeared to defend relationships between adults and boys, saying: 'There are certainly people who are capable of giving consent at a younger age.

'I would certainly consider myself to be one of them, people who are sexually active younger.'

Prince of the alt-Right: Yiannopoulos' profile has sky-rocketed in the last year, with him traveling the country and visiting campuses on his 'Dangerous Faggot' tour

The comments cost him first a $250,000 book deal, then a prestigious conservative speaking engagement and finally his job as technology editor of Breitbart.

Publisher Simon & Schuster said: 'After careful consideration, Simon & Schuster and its Threshold Editions imprint have canceled publication of Dangerous by Milo Yiannopoulos.'

Earlier, Yiannopoulos was uninvited from the the Conservative Political Action Committee conference because of the controversial comments.

He is now trying to bounce back by releasing his book through a new publisher, and it is likely he will be able to stay in the U.S. thanks to his undisclosed new media role.

During his press conference Yiannopoulos said Breitbart had stood by him and that he had decided to step down to allow them to continue with their work. He added that he would now be focused on 'education and entertainment'.

He said that he would now be setting up his own website, and returning to speaking at campuses and commercial speaking events very soon.

He used the press conference to rail against the media and the Left, claiming the video of his comments had been deceptively edited.

'They have reported things about me which they know aren't true and f*** you for that, he told the assembled press.

He said that he had exposed three pedophiles in his journalistic career, adding 'three more than most of my critics'.

'Most journalists have no sense of the country they are reporting on and I do,' he later added.

He also said he believed he has done more for the image of gay people in the 'flyover states' than any other gay rights charities, advocacy groups and publications in the last 30 years.

HOW MILO STARTED STORM Video of the Breitbart editor taking part in an online discussion from summer 2016 were posted online by a Twitter account called the @ReaganBattalion - which is linked to a conservative blog. It said it was acting out of concern that he had been invited to CPAC later this week. In the videos he said: 'This is a controversial view, I accept. But we get caught up in this whole child abuse thing even to the extent we are policing consensual relationships between consenting adults, such as grad students and professors at universities. 'The whole consent thing is not as black and white as people try and paint it.' Yiannopoulos agreed that the age of consent was 'roughly' at the right age. He continued: 'There are certainly people who are capable of giving consent at a younger age. I would certainly consider myself to be one of them, people who are sexually active younger. 'I think it particularly happens in the gay world, by the way. In many cases… actually, those relationships… this is one of the reasons I hate the left. This one-size-fits-all policing of culture. This arbitrary and oppressive idea of consent, which totally destroys, you know, the understanding that many of us have, of the complexities, subtleties and complicated nature of many relationships. Milo Yiannopoulos claimed he was not defending pedophilia when he said some younger boys could benefit by coming involved in a consensual relationship with an older man. He has now been banned from speaking at the Conservative Political Action Committee conference 'People are messy and complex, particularly in the homosexual world. Some of those relationships between younger boys and older men, the sort of 'coming of age' relationships, the relationships in which those older men help those young boys to discover who they are, and give them security and safety and provide them with love and a reliable rock where they can't speak to their parents.' Yiannopoulos said: 'Pedophilia is not a sexual attraction to somebody 13 years old who is sexually mature. Pedophilia is attraction to children who have not reached puberty. 'Pedophilia is an attraction to people who don't have functioning sex organs yet, who have not gone through puberty, who are too young to understand about the bodies. That is not what we are talking about. 'You don't understand what pedophilia is if you think I'm defending it, because I'm certainly not.' Yiannopoulos claimed some teenagers could find a relationship with an older man quite beneficial. He added: 'In the gay world, some of the most enriching and incredibly life-affirming and shaping relationships, very often between younger boys and older men, can be hugely positive experiences for those young boys. They can save those young boys from desolation, suicide and drug addiction, all sorts of things, providing they're consensual.' Following the storm it created, Yiannopoulos claimed that a section of the tape where he talked about the age of consent had been edited out. 'I don't believe that sex with 13-year-olds is okay,' he said during his press conference where he resigned from Breitbat. 'When I mentioned the number 13 [on the tape], I was talking about myself and the age I lost my virginity.' Advertisement
