need to see this entire NPR interview with Andrew Callaghan because it sounds like it was a disaster pic.twitter.com/lIOTQBsCwd— toni (@tonestirade) January 5, 2023
i won't divine the guy's manners or anything it's just that's where the money will be :shrug-outta-hecks: and he's already talked to so many right wingers in the 'biz'
I don't see it. Virgil seemed like a deeply anxious person. I don't really get that vibe from Andrew. I think a rightwing grift trajectory makes a lot more sense. It's not like he's some principled leftist.
AFAIK the allegations against Virgil never went anywhere and nobody was actually able to confirm them or follow up with the accuser and I think he was just sick of being in the public eye
Could be wrong on the allegations but I certainly never came across an update
idk his own subreddit looks like its taken it seriously, doesn't look like he has much of a cult of parasocial weirdos to spend hours defending & sanitizing him
his movie was just baby-brain unprincipled populism & he even interviewed brace in it. who is a weirdo anyway not someone who makes you leftist by association
i'm not asserting that the dude is a leftist, i just an skeptical that brace would hang with a far right grifter (though that may be giving brace too much credit).
i've only seen an interview with chet hanks, and an interview of key west papas (ft. brace). it seems to me andrew's brand is just interviewing goofs and letting them be goofy. but, by all means, if you're the NPR woman and think that interviewing one of the most independently popular right wing dipshits is "platforming" him, you do you.
callaghan just had a bunch of sv allegations come out. i think its likely after his business gets hit he'll pivot, because the right wing loves 'cancelled' and vile people & will throw money at him
channel 5 guy is going to become a far right grifter lmao

I think it all depends on how he takes to being 'cancelled'.
This is the key point

business relationship with right wingers and sv allegations, hostility to corporate liberal media
If libs can excuse the gross abuses of Bonnell and Kochinski because they're "on their team" they'll excuse Callaghan.

saw he made a vid w/ brace, so i'd say that's pretty doubtful

god damnit
okay i googled searched him and there are many allegations. ya, a rightwing turn is possible.
I'm guessing he just disappears, gets a warehouse job or whatever.
