Appearing on CNN with host Don Lemon, former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm (D) called on President Donald Trump to disavow conservative provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos after previously threatening to withhold federal funds from U.C. Berkeley for banning him from speaking on campus.
On a day when CPAC booted Yiannopoulos as a keynote speaker over his comments about sex with minors and Simon & Schuster cancelled publication of his book Trump and White House senior adviser Steve Bannon have been strangely quiet. Granholm stated that Trump has some explaining to do, since he once fiercely advocated for Yiannopoulos to be allowed to speak while noting that Bannon hired Milo at Breitbart.
I wish we werent even discussing this persons name, Granholm stated. Because he is a publicity parasite; he is all about getting additional clicks and additional followers and I dont want CNN to be an accomplice to that.
He is not just promoting, in this clip, pedophilia or apparently doing that, but hes been such a spewer of hatred. Hatred of women, hatred of the transgender community, which is kind of ironic, given that hes gay overtly, she continued. The fact that he was hired by Steve Bannon Id like to see Steve Bannon and Donald Trump disavow him publicly. In fact, the last time he was at Berkeley, Donald Trump tweeted in support of him saying we should let this guy speak. Thank goodness that CPAC did disinvite him, but I think people need to do their homework in advance.
