Is Milo Yiannopoulos left or right?
Yiannopoulos sits on the provocateur wing of the online right, now combining his old campus-tour showmanship with a religious-traditionalist message: since recommitting to Catholicism and declaring himself 'ex-gay' in 2021, he has framed his politics in religious terms, and in a December 2025 Tucker Carlson interview he said his greatest regret was 'mainstreaming homosexuality' in the Republican Party. He built his profile as a Breitbart editor (2014-2017) and a central figure in the Gamergate-era online culture wars before losing his platform and most institutional ties in 2017. After stints working for Kanye West and a declared retirement from politics, he posted on X on September 10, 2025, hours after Charlie Kirk's assassination, that he was 'un-retiring,' and floated a series of open-air campus events. As of 2026 he has resumed working as a spokesperson and legal liaison for Kanye West, and operates outside any major conservative institution.
