Milo Yiannopoulos says his house in Miami has been destroyed by Hurricane Irma.

Posting a picture of the roof having been torn off a building in the city’s West Brickell area, he commented: “MY HOUSE IS GONE”.

Last week, as the storm hit the Caribbean, he wrote on Facebook: “In more positive Irma news, Richard Branson's Necker Island has been devastated.”

And, as the hurricane headed towards the impoverished Caribbean island of Haiti, he said: “Irma is about to finish what Hillary started: leaving Haiti in ruins.”

Did Milo Yiannopoulos really lose his Miami house in Hurricane Irma?

http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/celebrities/article172687231.html

We checked to see if Yiannopoulos does indeed own that home (we doubted it, since why is he still posting about 9/11 related news on Monday and not dealing with the recovery?). Plus, we heard he lives in the Miami Beach area.

So anyhoo. YEAH. That house that got dessimated does most definitely not belong to Yiannopoulos.

The Miami Herald found the place, and it’s in Edgewater, at Northeast 27th Street and Fifth Avenue, which is close but definitely not the Brickell neighborhood where it was rumored to be on social media.

Reporter David Smiley spoke to a neighbor who witnessed the drama unfold and it turns out the property belongs to a guy named Gerard Duhart, who had evacuated ahead of the storm.

So no, this wreck of a place does not belong to Milo, so don’t be fooled and DON’T FEEL BAD FOR HIM.

Hard to imagine something worse than a Nazi, but a Nazi pedophile is even more disgusting.

I really feel for the folks in Florida and Texas, and have already given to fund raising efforts. I do have a question though, why is it that we are sending money to the states that pay no state taxes, it seems ironic.
