MILO YIANNOPOULOS EX-INTERN AND VOCAL TRUMP SUPPORTER KILLS DAD FOR CALLING HIM A NAZI

A Washington State man who fatally stabbed his father after the older man called him a Nazi has now been revealed to be a former Milo Yiannopoulos intern, pro-Donald Trump reditter, YouTube rapper and conspiracy theorist who blogs as Seattle4Truth.

Lane Davis, 33, was unemployed and living with his parents Catherine and Charles Davis on Samish Island, according to a deep dive by The Daily Beast, which follows the twisted, bizarre case from Davis's early internet obsession with the right wing until July 14 when an outburst about “pedophiles who were taking over the country” ended with his dad bleeding out in the backyard.

"This island is in mourning," Angie Mashaw, the victim's sister-in-law and alleged killer's aunt, told the Skagit Valley Herald. "Our family loved (Charles) dearly. He was the brother I never had."

Davis's parents said they were used to his tirades, which were not only personal to them, but stretched across the internet. He worked for Milo Yiannopoulos before he was fired, and according to a statement by Yiannopoulos to The Daily Beast, threatened him and went to BuzzFeed with "false and inaccurate accusations."

His pro-Trump raps include versus like: "Finger on the trigger. Trump might use a nuke, boy," and "F* that globalism, motherf* a TPP Open border b**ches, better learn your enemies."
