Despite taking criticism for inviting disgraced right-wing provocateur MiloYiannopoulos onto his show,Real Time host Bill Maher believes that its all worked out for the best in the end now thatYiannopoulos has left his position atBreitbart News.

In an interview withtheNew York Times, Maher said that hes proud that he brought on Yiannopoulos, and he says that the formerBreitbart editors appearance on his program paved the way for his rapid downfall.

We had Milo on, despite the fact that many people said, Oh, how dare you give a platform to this man,' said Maher. What I think people saw was an emotionally needy Ann Coulter wannabe, trying to make a buck off of the lefts propensity for outrage. And by the end of the weekend, by dinnertime Monday, hes dropped as a speaker at CPAC. Then hes dropped by Breitbart, and his book deal falls through. As I say, sunlight is the best disinfectant. Youre welcome.

WhileYiannopouloss career did come to a crashing halt shortly after his appearance with Bill Maher on Friday, what is being widely credited with hastening its demise was the widespread distribution of a video in which Yiannopoulos talked about the virtues of grown men having sexual relations with boys as young as 13 years old.

Nonetheless, Maher insisted to theTimes that his appearance on his HBO show was a key factor in his rapid disgrace.

And by the way, I wasnt trying to get him removed from society, Maher added. Im somebody who, many times, people have tried to make go away.
