Simon & Schuster has finally pulled Milo Yiannopoulos' book deal after a video emerged showing the alt-right troll and Breitbart editor defending and advocating for sexual relationships between 13-year-olds and adults.
"They canceled my book," Yiannopoulos wrote on Facebook:

Even children's book publishers joined the conversation:
@canongatebooks we also previously had discussions with piss-covered wolf about a kids toilet training book but decided not to pursue
