Milo Yiannopoulos, the British commentator once aligned with the American far right, has publicly denounced his past support for President Donald Trump after being detained and deported by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) last week.

Yiannopoulos said during a Tuesday appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored: "To think that the promise and hope and joy and the anticipation of Trump 2016 could, sort of, over the course of 10 years, collapse into this ugly, warmongering, whole mentally ill heap of crazy with some of the most unstable and lunatic people, seemingly directing the president’s actions.

"If I had any clue that anything remotely like this was even possible, I would never have got involved in supporting Trump in the first place and I’m very ashamed that I did.”

      And the most selfish. It seems like every week we hear a tale of “I supported Trump’s fucked up ideals until it affected ME!”

    LOL, “joy”.

    The only people that had joy in anticipation of tiny-d donnie was people that YOU were encouraging on the alt-right, and it’s because they looked forward to having unstable lunatics doing awful things to people they thought were unhumans.

      Gay guy who now says he’s not gay? In the pre-donnie times he jumped on the gamergate nonsense, and he was a rising star among the alt-right in little-d donnie’s first failed term.

      But now known for having his rising star among the alt-right being snuffed out by his past statements that seemed to encourage pedophilia between boys and men.

      Oh, and now, hilariously, he’s going to be known as a poster boy for the Leopard Party. What a fucking dumbass.

    Sadly they did not keep him in their concentration camps to reinforce the impression on him how this kind of ideology that he so vehemently proposed ultimately leads to

    “But Charlie, don’t forget what happened to the man who suddenly got everything he always wanted.”

    “What happened?”

    “He lived happily ever after.”
