Milo Yiannopoulos, the tech editor of Breitbart News, was forced to resign from his job on Tuesday following backlash over a recently unearthed video showing him endorsing pedophilia.
This isn’t the first time Yiannopolous has said something galvanizing. The professional provocateur has made a name for himself as one of the most visible faces of the white nationalist alt-right movement, which often espouses hate speak against other races, cultures and women.
But unlike the past, Yiannopoulos is finding himself on his own, without help from either “Daddy Trump” — as he often refers to the leader of the free world — or the man who discovered him, former Breitbart executive chairman and White House chief strategist Steve Bannon.
