Bill Maher, who hosts "Real Time," is crediting himself with the downfall of the former Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos. Yiannopoulos appeared on Maher's show days before a video surfaced of the alt-right supporter condoning underage sex with boys as young as 13. Shortly after, Yiannopoulos lost his book deal and resigned from his senior position at Breitbart News. Maher told the New York Times in an interview. Maher dismissed criticism that he didn't interrogate Yiannopoulos enough, claiming it's not his role to question everything the former editor has ever said.
