Conservative Political Action Conference

Conservative provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos says he raised $12 million to start his own media company and got a $1 million signing bonus out of the deal, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

On Thursday at 9 a.m. ET, the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) kicked off and will continue through Saturday.

Schedule as follows:

Friday (all times Eastern)

8:10 a.m. — Former Navy SEAL Rob O’Neill

8:25 a.m. — Dr. Sebastian Gorka, deputy assistant to President Trump

In the wake of controversial comments unearthed from a podcast that seemed to defend sexual relationships between young teenagers and adults under certain circumstances, Breitbart editor and gay libertarian firebrand Milo Yiannopoulos was disinvited by CPAC as the keynote speaker at its upcoming event and lost his lucrative book deal from Simon & Schuster.
