Most Americans Think Facebook and Twitter Censor Their Political Views

That's a massive bending of the truth. It was said as a private response to a journalist asking him for comment, and clearly in jest.

> The truth, as always, is the opposite of what the media tells you. I sent a troll about “vigilante death squads” as a private response to a few hostile journalists who were asking me for comment, basically as a way of saying, “Fuck off.” They then published it. Amazed they were pretending to take my joke as a “threat,” I reposted these stories on Instagram to mock them — and to make it clear that I wasn’t being serious.

Given his track record, I'm not going to believe a single word of his facebook post. Find another source that does not rely on that post to prove the point.

I'm not sure what track record you're speaking of - historically people making these kinds of claims have been found to have lied about Milo.

Are you saying the screenshots on his instagram are doctored?

None of those claims have been found to be lies. They are based on his own words and actions.

I will not take anything on his instagram as any kind of proof of anything; he has absolutely no credibility on anything.

Do you think Milo is a white nationalist? Or that he's homophobic?

Since you know he fabricated the screenshots, have you contacted a journalist? This is a huge scoop and hasn't been reported yet.
