Milo Yiannopoulos is banking on Berkeley for his comeback

Following his spectacular fall resulting from comments condoning sexual relationships between young boys and adults, conservative mega-troll Milo Yiannopoulos announced he’ll return to the University of California, Berkeley this fall to hold a week of “free-speech rallies.”

In February, Yiannopolous was invited to speak at the university, but a mob of opponents hurling rocks and Molotov cocktails forced Berkeley to cancel the event. The same greeting awaited a scheduled April appearance there by Ann Coulter, leading to another cancellation.

That’s the kind of reaction on which right-wing provocateurs thrive, and now Yiannopoulos is set to bait the mob again in an attempted return to relevance.
