Breitbart keeps publishing my tweets and calling me a “Hollywood celebrity” but I don’t live in Hollywood, I’ve never worked there regularly, and I think the word “celebrity” is a stretch. This makes me really second-guess the world renowned fact checking department at Breitbart.

. @BreitbartNews @pollakbreitbart @ARmastrangelo Hey friends, can you possibly correct this? You’re welcome to refer to me as a “touring comedian” or an “independent filmmaker living in New York” or “this random comedian we hate and want you to hate” if it’s an opinion piece. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen">

One last thing for my friends at Breitbart:

You quoted me as calling the current president an “inspiring dictator” but what I wrote was “aspiring dictator.” Check the tweet. This might be a Russian translation error. But “aspiring” and “inspiring” are completely different words.

Addendum for @BreitbartNews— my podcast, which is comedic since I’m a comedian (which you now know!) is called “working it out.” I work out new material with comics like John Mulaney & Tig Notaro. No politics, just jokes. I’m an inspiring podcaster! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mike-birbiglias-working-it-out/id1515419751">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas...

Maybe a more accurate headline for Breitbart could be “touring comedian Mike Birbiglia thinks the president is an incompetent piece of shit while Hollywood celebrity James Woods disagrees.”
