The Alt Right is imploding (Picture: Getty/REX)

The so-called ‘Alt Right’ is imploding after footage emerged of Milo Yiannopoulos condoning child abuse.

The Breitbart editor has already lost a book deal, had an appearance at a conservative conference cancelled, and is facing a mutiny from his website’s staffers.

But now even Richard Spencer – the white supremacist best known for getting punched in the face, repeatedly – has taken time out from tweeting about ethnic cleansing to publicly disavow Milo.

In a series of tweets Spencer attacked Milo and his supporters, branding them the ‘Alt Light’

Milo's done. Put a fork in him. — Richard ? Spencer (@RichardBSpencer) February 20, 2017

1/ The Alt Light was always going to collapse. #Milogate just pushed it over the edge. — Richard ? Spencer (@RichardBSpencer) February 20, 2017

How long will it be before some boy comes forward and says Milo abused him? — Richard ? Spencer (@RichardBSpencer) February 20, 2017

He also appeared a bit, shall we say, jealous of Milo’s standing in Alt Right circles

1/ A tale of two scandals. In a moment of exuberance, I toast "Hail Trump!" and some guys give Roman salutes. The Alt Light freaks out. — Richard ? Spencer (@RichardBSpencer) February 20, 2017

(By ‘Roman salutes’ he means ‘Nazi salutes’ and ‘sieg heils’)


2/ Milo defends pedophilia and the Alt Light equivocates.



What a fucking joke. — Richard ⛄️ Spencer (@RichardBSpencer) February 20, 2017

Why are there so many young boys drinking around Milo on his college tour? Ask @bakedalaska, @jaketapper! — Richard ? Spencer (@RichardBSpencer) February 20, 2017

Making himself look even more bitter, Spencer then retweeted other white supremacists saying he should have been leader of the alt-Right

(WARNING – extremely offensive language)

Good thing the alt-lite pushed so hard for a gay racemixing pedo jew to be the face of the brand instead of a clean cut white guy pic.twitter.com/EWWHrvfZr5 — Emperor Groyper (@emperor_groyper) February 20, 2017

Hint – if you want to spot a white supremacist on Twitter, they tend to have ‘glass of milk’ emojis in their names, and call themselves ‘lactose tolerant’ in their bios.



Spencer then tried to say that Milo was never part of the Alt Right

Milo Yiannopoulos always said he was not Alt Right. He was right. — Richard ? Spencer (@RichardBSpencer) February 20, 2017

And finished off by saying that Milo was ‘totally done’

Just finished a video on Milo, uploading now. The guy is totally done. No sane person will defend him. — Richard ? Spencer (@RichardBSpencer) February 21, 2017

Milo’s old manager Tim Treadstone (aka ‘Baked Alaska’) also added that he ‘cannot defend Milo anymore’

I am Milo's former manager. I have defended Milo for standing up for free speech on many occasions. Today, I cannot defend Milo anymore. — Baked?Alaska™ (@bakedalaska) February 20, 2017

Still, people weren’t going to let Spencer and co get off that easily

The alt-right infighting is going to be fun to watch *gets popcorn* pic.twitter.com/dV758riVPr — Sunny Hundal (@sunny_hundal) February 20, 2017

. @RichardBSpencer how long til you get punched in your weird fucked head again mate — Alex McKinnon (@mckinnon_a) February 20, 2017

In case you missed it, footage recently emerged of Yiannopoulos defending sex with underage children, calling the age of consent ‘arbitrary and oppressive’.

Milo Yiannopoulos’ pro-paedophile comments have cost him his book deal

Speaking to the Drunken Peasants podcast last year, he said that ‘we get hung up on this sort of child abuse stuff, to the point where we are policing consensual adults’.

‘There are certainly people who are capable of giving consent at a younger age. I certainly consider myself to be one of them, people who were sexually active younger,’ he added, before claiming that gay men are more likely to be sexual predators.

‘In the homosexual world, particularly, some of those relationships between younger boys and older men – the sort of “coming of age” relationship – those relationships in which those older men help those young boys discover who they are and give them security and safety, and provide them with love, and a reliable, sort of rock, where they can’t speak to their parents.’

When one of the presenters interrupted and said ‘this sounds like priest molestation to me’, Yiannopoulos doubled down.

‘You know what? I’m grateful to Father Michael. I wouldn’t give nearly as good head if it wasn’t for him.’
