Milo Quote by Angela Nagle
““When Milo challenged his protesters to argue with him countless times on his tour, he knew that they not only wouldn’t, but also that they couldn’t. They come from an utterly intellectually shut-down world of Tumblr and trigger warnings, and the purging of dissent in which they have only learned to recite jargon.””

![“I go wading into the fire fit, but the conservative movement - jeez. Look at Milo [Yiannopoulos]. He's in his twenties. He's flamboyantly gay. We're nowhere near the conservative movement here. Ideologically he's pure. Ideologically he's brave, he's right down the line.” quote by Rush Limbaugh](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/67c/rush-limbaugh-28_brave_i-go-wading-into-the-fire-fit-but-the-co_238500.jpg)
