Curtains for Breitbart crew?
HAS the reign of Breitbart collapsed? Milo Yiannopoulos says not. This time last year, Breitbart’s then-executive chairman Steve Bannon was in the West Wing and its onetime tech editor Yiannopoulos was a ubiquitous public figure, scandalizing late-night audiences and sparking protests. Today, Bannon is unemployed and Yiannopoulos’ lawsuit with Simon & Schuster over his shelved book “Dangerous” is seemingly falling apart. But Yiannopoulos tells Page Six that the pair haven’t blown it. “I think the press would love that to be true. But nothing could be further from the truth,” Yiannopoulos told us after Bannon’s sudden “exit” from Breitbart last Tuesday following his falling out with President Trump. “Speaking for myself, I just had a New York Times best-selling book [he eventually published “Dangerous” through his organization] that was on there for five weeks . . . I’m in the middle my next one. The fact that the press stopped reporting on some of the activity that Steve and I get up to doesn’t actually change real life.” Meanwhile, Yiannopoulos says Bannon “remains the most dangerous man in politics, and the idea that this is going to kneecap him or cripple him is ridiculous.” We’ll see. We reported on Tuesday that Yiannopoulos will represent himself in his $10 million suit against his former publisher after his lawyers quit the case because the author’s “lack of cooperation . . . has rendered [the firm’s] representation . . . unreasonably difficult to carry out effectively.”
