Donald Trump Jr. was roundly criticized last September for posting an alt-right-themed image to Instagram in which he appears with Milo Yiannopoulos, among other far-right leaders.
The criticism at the time was over the fact that the image includes a racist, anti-Semitic meme (the frog in the image below).
Now Donald Jr. has another problem: The image, which is still live, also contains a picture of Yiannopoulos, who is fighting accusations that he is soft on pedophilia.
The caption that Trump Jr. wrote for the image on Instagram praises Milo and the others in the photo:
A friend sent me this. Apparently I made the cut as one of the Deplorables
All kidding aside I am honored to be grouped with the hard working men and women of this great nation that have supported @realdonaldtrump and know that he can fix the mess created by politicians in Washington.
Donald Trump Jr. is honored to be in a photo with Milo.
A video was recently unearthed showing Yiannopoulos talking about his man-boy sex experiences as a child, and about watching others engage in sex with young boys (Yiannopoulos refused to name the other men.) Yiannopoulos suggested that the sexual experience could be a positive one for children.
As a result, Yiannopoulos lost a lucrative book deal with Simon & Schuster and was forced to resign as an editor at the far-right Web site Breitbart.
Which brings us back to Donald Trump’s son Donald Jr. It’s bad enough that Donald Jr. still has an Alt Right meme in his twitter feed, but posting a photo that reveres Milo Yiannopoulos as some kind of political leader fighting alongside Trump and his father goes a step too far.
It’s time for Donald Trump Jr. to explain what connection if any he has with Milo Yiannopoulos, whether he is still “honored” to be in a photo with Milo, and when he plans on deleting this image that clearly honors Yiannopoulos as a supporter of Donald Trump Sr.
