To see the company Mr Keene keeps, check out the far-right Vance here:

Vance is genuinely execrable, indeed.
Keene has shown a fondness for other right wing cranks in the past, however.

Of no particular importance, but for the sake of emphasis, a couple of online etymological entries -
milquetoast (n.) "timid, meek person," 1938, from Caspar Milquetoast, character created by U.S. newspaper cartoonist H.T. Webster (1885-1952) in the strip "The Timid Soul," which ran from 1924 in the "New York World" and later the "Herald Tribune." By 1930 the name was being referenced as a type of the meek man.
And,
In fact, wikipedia's entry states "Milk toast's soft blandness served as inspiration for the name of the timid and ineffectual comic strip character Caspar Milquetoast, drawn by H. T. Webster from 1924 to 1952. Thus, the term milquetoast entered the language as the label for a timid, shrinking, apologetic person."
Pronunciation would appear to be very close to "milk toast", by the way.
