Julian Assange, still holed up in the Ecuadorian embassy in London while avoiding extradition to Sweden on rape charges, defended man-boy love enthusiast Milo Yiannopoulos on Monday night.
Yiannopoulos was disinvited to CPAC and dropped by Simon & Schuster over the weekend after remarks surfaced in which he said he was comfortable with men having sex with boys as young as 13.
Tweeted Assange: US liberals today celebrate the censorship of right-wing UK provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos over teen sex quote.

Yiannopoulos is holding a press conference at 3 pm today in New York City.
Breitbart EIC: "Milo is going to have a press conference later today and he is going to talk about his future with Breitbart"

The Washington Post adds:
By late Monday afternoon, there were ongoing discussions at Breitbart about Yiannopouloss future at the company, according to two people familiar with the organization who were not authorized to speak. Inside the newsroom, several staffers made clear to senior leadership that they felt uncomfortable and may decide to leave if he stays, the people said.
