The other day I quipped on how funny it is that, after Milo Yiannopoulos and his minions worked so hard to make life miserable for DePaul faculty members several years ago, he was now hawking Christian kitsch on the Home Shopping Network. But it turns out I was wrong -- at least THAT would have paid! It turns out he's now been "hired" as an unpaid intern for legendary lunatic Marjorie Taylor Green!
Greene confirmed the news to The Daily Beast in a similarly cringe and problematic statement that grossly equated sexual abuse with LGBTQ+ identity and nodded at another staple of Yiannopoulos’ trolling — that he now identifies as a born-again Christian who cured himself of his self-described sins as a gay man and who now believes in the dangerous and debunked controversial practice of conversion therapy.
Clearly on one level, these are two horrible people who deserve one another. On another level however, what did the rest of us do to deserve this? Haven't we suffered enough? Global catastrophe, war, pandemic, murder hornets!, leaping worms!, and now monkey pox?!? Come on and cut us all a break here!
At the end of the day, however, I suppose that they really can't do too much to make one another worse, given that they are both already burying the needle in terms of horribleness. But it would still be nice if the worst people on earth didn't keep finding and collaborating with one another.
