“I annoy the feminists and the Black Lives Matter guys probably almost as much as Trump does, certainly on college campuses,” Yiannopoulos said. “So, they go for the next best thing. They go for ... the person they think they can scare. Well, they don’t scare me. I will continue to give college talks until the day I drop dead.”

Of his opponents, Milo told Fox: “They never want to debate because they’re scared of losing. They don’t have the facts on their side and for 30 years the left has been able to bully people into silence by name-calling and they’ve forgotten how to argue.”
