WASHINGTON — Internet super troll Milo Yiannopoulos’s book “Dangerous” was dropped by publisher Simon & Schuster this week after a conservative blog dug up a clip of him appearing to advocate sexual relations between a man and a boy.

The $250,000 book deal’s cancellation came not long after after the 33-year-old gay commentator was booted from the speaker’s line-up at the 2017 Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington.

During a 2016 January Drunken Peasants YouTube podcast, the senior Breitbart News editor said: “In the homosexual world, particularly, some of the relationships between younger boys and older men, the coming of age relationships, the relationships in which these older men help those young boys to discover who they are, and give them security and safety and provide them with love and a reliable rock where they can’t speak with their parents.”

On his Facebook page Yiannopoulos denied he was defending pedophilia in the video and said he regretted using the word “boys” and should have instead used “young man” instead. He also claimed to be a victim of child abuse himself.

“My own experiences as a victim led me to believe I could say anything I wanted to on this subject, no matter how outrageous. But I understand that my usual blend of British sarcasm, provocation and gallows humor might have come across as flippancy, a lack of care for other victims or, worse, ‘advocacy.’ I deeply regret that. People deal with things from their past in different ways,” Yiannopoulos wrote on Facebook.

Citing “people inside Breitbart,” Fox News Business reports that Breitbart News is considering firing Yiannopoulos over the comments. Yiannopoulos currently serves as the news site’s Technology Editor.
