During the introduction to his lecture at Miami University on Monday, Breitbart News journalist and technology editor Milo Yiannopoulos informed the crowd that he was unable to address the highly controversial topic of \u201cPizzagate\u201d because he had received phone calls from Washington D.C. that told him \u201cnot yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are going to talk this evening about a few things that are close to my heart,\u201d Milo told his audience. \u201cAlthough, I have one announcement to make which is that sadly when I announced I was going to be speaking about Pizzagate this evening, I got a number of phone calls with Washington D.C. area codes saying \u2018not yet.’\u201d<\/p>\n
For those unfamiliar, Pizzagate is a wildly-popular conspiracy theory that centers around leaked emails from former Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta that some believe contain pedophilic lingo.<\/p>\n
\u201cPizzagate subreddit was started by a group of Trump-supporting internet sleuths who were attempting to use WikiLeaks\u2019 leaked Podesta emails to connect the Clintons and John Podesta to the convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein,\u201d Zero Hedge wrote of Pizzagate<\/a>. \u201cThat said, when the Podesta emails failed to reveal a \u201csmoking gun\u201d linkage, the sleuths instead turned their focus to mulitple \u201cpizza\u201d references in Podesta\u2019s emails which then led to the speculation that those \u201cpizza\u201d references must be code for something far more sinister.\u201d<\/p>\n The Washington Post <\/a>says the \u201cPizzagate\u201d sleuths are convinced that the \u201csecret headquarters of a child sex-trafficking ring run by Hillary Clinton and members of her inner circle\u201d is located in the basement of a Washington D.C. pizza shop called Comet Ping Pong Pizzeria.<\/p>\n Yiannopoulos put out a flyer for his Miami speech on Monday afternoon which advertised that he would be addressing the conspiracy theory.<\/p>\n \u201cI can tell you with no ego, this will be my finest show,\u201d Milo wrote on his Facebook page.<\/p>\n It is currently unknown who called Milo and told him not to discuss the Pizzagate controversy but it might have something to do with the incident that occurred on Sunday when a man walked into Comet Ping Pong with a gun<\/a>.<\/p>\n The man told police he had come to the restaurant to \u201cself-investigate\u201d the \u201cPizzagate\u201d conspiracy.<\/p>\n Reports claim that Comet Ping Pong\u2019s owner, James Alefantis, and his employees have been victims of continuous harassment <\/a>from those exploring the theory that connects the pizza shop to child sex-trafficking.<\/p>\n Surrounding businesses have also said that they have been targeted by believers in the conspiracy theory.<\/p>\n While many of the sleuths say that their research as led them to believe that \u201cPizzagate\u201d is real and not just some wild theory, there are some people who believe it has gone too far and now has become dangerous<\/a>.<\/p>\n![](\"http:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/user5\/imageroot\/2016\/11\/29\/milo%20FB_0.jpg\")
