I googled him and Daily Mail has info on that too.

The sad downfall of Milo Yiannopoulos: Right-wing troll who once held a sold-out tour in Australia blasting feminism and Islam is now selling religious statues on YouTube

...

But after several years out of the spotlight, the 37-year-old has resurfaced spruiking an $87.50 statue of the Virgin Mary for an extremist Christian organisation. 

'She's just under 12 inches tall, she's available in those two different accent finishes,' Yiannopoulos tells the audience in the bizarre clip.

'We've got statues in the shop that are fully painted but the thing I like about her is this wonderful, burnished, bronzey, aged colour she's got.. the face on this is especially good.'

The video was posted by Church Militant - a far-right, Orthodox Catholic movement with anti-gay, anti-transgender views. 

Yiannopoulos married his long-term boyfriend, John, in 2017  and once said that sex between a 13-year-old boy and an older man could be 'life-affirming'.

But earlier this year he revealed he was now 'anti-gay' and 'anti-sodomy'.

'When I used to kid that I only became gay to torment my mother, I wasn't entirely joking,' he told conservative website LifeSite in March.

'Of course, I was never wholly at home in the gay lifestyle — Who is? Who could be? — and only leaned heavily into it in public because it drove liberals crazy to see a handsome, charismatic, intelligent gay man riotously celebrating conservative principles.'

He also said he planned to dedicate the next 10 years to reviving the widely banned practice of conversion therapy that aims to forcibly change an individual's sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression, claiming 'it does work.'

'it does work.'

We'll see.

The clip of him selling the Virgin Mary statue is pretty incredible:

His career is just pure grift though. Before he pivoted to the right he set up an online tech news site that didn't pay its staff (most of whom are still journalists in the UK/London who "take an interest" in what he's up to), so he moves to the US and Breitbart - again, from my understanding, some financial irregularities follow etc. It feels natural that this is where he ends up.

I mean, it wasn't like Rogan hid who he was. He's always been scum.

What is the context of Rogan using the n-word?

I am automatically suspicious when these claims are made and there is a curious lack of actual examples of the sin...

In India Arie's video on it she shares a collage of him using the word a whole bunch of times, though admittedly the context for each instance is unclear. She also includes a clip in which he tells a story about them looking at a property or something in a mostly black area, saying: "we walked into Planet of the Apes. We walked into Africa, dude. We walked in the door and there was no white people." Which makes me much less inclined to believe that his using the n-word is "just joking" or otherwise not serious in every single one of those instances.

I'm not sure there can be a legitimate reason for a white 'talk show' host to say the n word that many times.

I watched a video just the other day where Kent Wallace said the N word like 20 times during a segment.

Yesterday, I watched a movie where Rose Byrne is a voice actor for a robot.

I would tend to agree, although again, not being sure is not the same as being sure.

It seems like someone went to a lot of work to remove the context from each of those instances. Why?

Because she wasn't making an endlessly long video essay but posting on Instagram?

Rogan is a long time nut who became inexplicably popular.

He is a charismatic guy and a comedian. He was also on a very popular TV show. I mean sure he was eccentric but he was not some Alex Jones guy or anything.
