Milo Yiannopoulos, a controversial commentator, says in a resurfaced 2016 interview that when he spoke about deporting “millions” of people, he meant a subset of immigrants rather than all migrants. In the interview, he distinguishes between immigrants he considers problematic and others, saying his criticism was directed at “bad immigrants.”
A quote circulating from the interview includes Yiannopoulos’s clarification that he does not mean immigrants he describes as “handsome, charming, successful” or who fit other characteristics. The reposted material frames the claim as a correction to how his earlier “millions deported” language has been interpreted.
Among the limited sources provided, the emphasis is on the specific wording from the 2016 conversation rather than broader reporting on policy proposals or later statements. One source highlights the contrast between Yiannopoulos’s general deportation remarks and his later explanation about who he was referring to.
