From a Milo/CPAC article at The Weekly Standard:
http://www.weeklystandard.com/drawing-boundaries/article/2006976
Yiannopoulos didn't rise to semi-prominence all on his own. Breit­bart News, whose former head Stephen Bannon is now President Trump's chief strategist, gave Yiannopoulos a job and bankrolled his college tour. "Mr. Yiannopoulos, whose college tour was being subsidized by Breit­bart, did not charge a fee," the Chronicle of Higher Education reported following a recent speech. "[Steve Bannon] made me into a star," Yiannopoulos said in November 2016.


Bannon was executive chairman at Breitbart until he left to become Trump's campaign CEO in August 2016.


Milo's college campus tour was announced in July 2016:

Triggered social justice warriors and cowering college administrators were breathing a sigh of relief. They thought it was all over. They were wrong.

Breitbart senior editor Milo Yiannopoulos, the Dangerous Faggot himself will be returning to America’s campuses in the fall semester in a tour that promises to be bigger, badder, and more dangerous than ever.

Milo is already confirmed to appear at 26 campuses this fall, with more schools signing on every week.

It's a recruitment tour. That's what it always was.

They didn't give a fuck about free speech or debate, this whole thing was to recruit naive people to a hateful ideology.
