Milo Yiannopoulous: Ellen DeGeneres is involved in a coverup of the Vegas shootings

Milo Yiannopoulous is touring Australia with his one-man alt-right schtick and, of course, he’s trying to stir as much controversy as possible. As with most of his nonsensical comments, he reaches to the bottom of the crazy barrel and pull up a few handfuls.

This time around, during an appearance on Sky News, Yiannopoulous posited that Ellen DeGeneres is involved in a coverup of the Las Vegas mass shooting that left dozens dead. Sky News is owned by News Corp Australia, one of the Murdoch-owned family of right wing news channels.

He claims that there is an “extraordinary lack of curiosity in the media” about the Vegas shooter because he was white. He also says that stopped asking questions about the hotel security guard who later appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres show.

Yiannopoulous says the guard was “sweating and panting like he’d been briefed to say certain things and not to say others” and offhandedly comments that ““Ellen, of course, has a relationship with the hotel chain.”

Ellen’s “involvement” has been pushed by conspiracy sites like Infowars and a deranged Christian minister. The website claims Ellen is complicit because there is a slot machine bearing her likeness at the Mandalay Bay hotel/casino where the shooter holed up.

The minister however, went even deeper down the rabbit hole. He managed to tie together Nazis, the deep state Milo hints at, and Ellen.

“America has become a Nazi state. The deep state is a Nazi state. That is why Campos appeared on a daytime talk show hosted by a fast-talking, dancing comedienne, and, let me add, a lesbian, because this Nazi regime is a gay/lesbian Nazi regime, just like Nazis in Hitler’s day. Hitler was a bisexual, the top Nazi leaders of the Nazi party were homosexuals. The Nazi takeover of Germany was a militant homosexual fascist takeover; that is what is taking place in America today.”
