(CNN) By inviting « alt right » (aka white supremacist) darling Milo Yiannopoulos (known as « Milo ») onto his HBO show Friday night, Bill Maher could’ve seized a great opportunity to expose Yiannopoulos’ history of hate. After all, Yiannopoulos has spewed so much toxic garbage that he was permanently banned by Twitter in 2016 , which says a lot, considering the cesspool that swirls on that platform.
