He did an interview with channel 5 and called out Andrew Callahan afterward saying they chopped the interview to make him look bad. Andrew responded and explained that they edit interviews in such a way to make them smoother without stops to clarify questions, ums and ahs. He also provided behind the scenes footage. This Nick Shirley guy isn’t very articulate or well versed in what he claims to be.
I tried to watch that interview (not this well-deserved rebuttal, the original) and just couldn’t force my way through about half, wherever the (dumbass) Brazilian favela story ends. Despite Callaghan and team’s sincere efforts, Nick just comes off like the fucking moron he is.
Ignorant about the things he himself has chosen to squawk about, while also truly lacking the mental “equipment” to engage with the topics in any complexity.
Like, any complexity, he seemed completely unable to manage the difference between the ideas “95% of Somali immigrants are law-abiding” and (his claim) “89% of fraud in Minnesota is committed by Somalis”. Those can actually both be true and they aren’t even very complicated but it was too much for him.
To be clear I’m not weighing in on those stats whatsoever, just the fact that he could not navigate the nuances between them at all.
He’s not just wrong and hateful, he’s fully incapable of understanding the exact phenomena that he somehow feels called to scrutinize and then scream about. He doesn’t realize that “real” conversation on the topic would go completely over his head, he’s so foolish that he can’t even see how out of his own depth he is.
I’d love to just call him a clown and move on but his flavor of horseshit is SO dangerous these days, as we see!
This is fantastic. Just goes to show what kind of people that Shirley guy surrounds himself with already. He probably believes that being interviewed should only reflect the views he agrees with and not be a fair nuetral ground where if you fuck up then you fucked up. The people he surrounds himself with all edit those parts out which is half the problem on it’s own. I always liked Andrew for that reason, he definitely never seemed to take 1 side and has no problem showing captured footage of you making yourself look bad.

Here’s Callaghan’s response with the behind-the-scenes stuff for anyone who’s interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlyNHpEe_k4
The “bevenolent” bits are truly hilarious.
