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.

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

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.”
