Who is Milo Yiannopoulos?
41-year-old Milo calls himself the "most fabulous supervillain on the internet". He was an editor of US website Breitbart and also worked with rapper Kanye West. He was an early supporter of Trump during the 2016 election, headlining an event called Gays for Trump during the Republican National Convention that year, and has backed Trump's tighter immigration restrictions in the US.
Yiannopoulos also worked with Nick Fuentes and former MAGA Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. Yiannopoulos was credited with arranging West’s hugely controversial Mar-a-Lago dinner with Donald Trump and white nationalist Fuentes in 2022.
