Meet Milo Junior: Lucian Wintrich

And here come the “MILO” clones. Yeah I guess ripping off another’s schtick is a form of flattery but eventually the more there are the more loathsome they become. But hey at least this clone is a Yinzer – PB/TK

Meet Milo Junior: Lucian Wintrich – By Joe Simonson March 13, 2017

If you thought the fall of Milo Yiannopoulos meant an end to flamboyant, gay, conservative provocateurs—you were wrong.

Enter Lucian Wintrich, chief White House correspondent for right-wing blog the Gateway Pundit. Wintrich insists he’s not patterning himself after Milo—he just happens to dress and talk like him. Just like Milo, Wintrich favors tailored suits and bright colors, and talks about Islam being incompatible with Western Civilization. Wintrich says both he and Milo serve as a “gateway drug” to conservatism because they make it more fun and entertaining.

Milo enjoys kicking up shitstorms—and so apparently does mini Milo. Just before the White House press briefing last Friday, he got into an apparent scuffle with Fox correspondent Jon Decker. BuzzFeed White House correspondent Adrian Carrasquillo tweeted that Decker “loudly told everyone in briefing room that Gateway Pundit is here” and that the website hates “blacks, Jews, Hispanics.”

Sometime after that, Wintrich alleges Decker grabbed his arm and called him a Nazi. Decker and Fox News deny these allegations, and I can’t find anyone else supporting Wintrich’s story (After publication, Andrew Feinberg, White House correspondent for the Kremlin-backed Sputnik News, reached out to me that he saw Decker “touch or grasp” Lucian’s arm, but “wasn’t sure how hard.”).
