Conservative provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos is now an intern for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.). 

"I’ve finally been persuaded out of retirement," the former Breitbart News editor wrote in a Telegram post on Monday, featuring a photo of his congressional intern badge on top of a Louis Vuitton case. 

"But my skills are a bit rusty, so the best role I could land was an unpaid internship with a friend. Pray for me!" the 37-year-old Yiannopoulos added.

The badge expires in August, and it is unclear whether his internship will extend beyond the Summer.

"Mummy always said I'd end up in government," the British conservative said. 

Greene defended Yiannopoulos in a statement to The Daily Beast.

"So I have an intern that was raped by a priest as a young teen, was gay, has offended everyone at some point, turned his life back to Jesus and Church, and changed his life," she said. "Great story!"

Yiannopoulos announced in March 2021 that he was no longer gay. He describes himself on his Telegram status as a "[r]etired civil rights icon" who is opening "a clinic in Florida for men plagued by same-sex attraction," better known as a gay conversion therapy clinic.

The commentator resigned from Breitbart in 2017 following backlash to comments on pedophilia. 

"There are certainly people who are capable of giving consent at a younger age, I certainly consider myself to be one of them," he said in a 2016 Drunken Peasants podcast, adding that sexual relations between adults and some 13-year-olds "happen perfectly consensually."
