On Friday, The Daily Caller published an op-ed by former Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos. The post, titled "A Round of Applause for Kevin Spacey," is the first installment in Yiannopoulos' new weekly column with the Tucker Carlson-owned site.

Yiannopoulos' post centers around the actor Kevin Spacey's alleged sexual relations with minors, which have made headlines in recent days after actor Anthony Rapp publicly said Spacey made a sexual advance toward him when he was just 14. The former Breitbart technology editor calls Spacey a "disgrace" to homosexuals, though he uses a slur to refer to gay men, and adds that Spacey should pay for his crimes "in the most obscenely painful ways imaginable at the hands of LeRoy from Cell Block E."
