Breitbartwas formerly helmed byexecutive chairmanSteve Bannon, who once referred to site as the "platform for thealt-right,"before he joined President Donald Trump's election campaign in 2016. Popular conservative pundit Ben Shapiro was an editor at Breitbart from 2012 to 2016. The controversial site also served as a platform for right-wing lightning rod Milo Yiannopoulos, once a Breitbart senior editor.

Breitbart has written extensively about "free speech on college campuses" and seems to thrive on controversy related to its allegations of left-wing bias at universities. In 2017, a talk at the University of California, Berkeley by Yiannopouloswas canceled due to massive protests. Yiannopoulos resigned from Breitbart shortly after, following the surfacing of a video in which he said relationships between younger boys and older men can be hugely positive experiences."
