Nolan Brewer never mentioned Ben Shapiro or Breitbart in his interview with federal agents as reported. The reference was in a document his defense lawyer filed, called a Sentencing Memorandum. These distinctions matter.

According to Buzzfeed, "A man who vandalized a synagogue with Nazi symbols told federal agents his road to radicalization included ... reading Ben Shapiro." I pulled the court records to see if this was true, what I found is in this thread...pic.twitter.com/CiX9lRBNNP

There's no evidence to indicate that Nolan Brewer ever read Ben Shapiro, and a search history of his computer mostly turns up searches for Hitler and Nazi propaganda.pic.twitter.com/vAV0azRhL2

The full case file for Nolan Brewer, who Buzzfeed is trying to tie to Ben Shapiro, is full of racist memes and hardcore anti-Semitism. I would upload case file but would probably get banned. Anyhow, total smear job of Shapiro by Buzzfeed here.

Nolan Brewer was steered into committing a hate crime by someone located in Romania and Ukraine, a hot bed of actual Nazis. Brewer was a hardcore anti-Semite, did not mention Shapiro in interview with agents, and that detail was added in a Sentencing Memo by his lawyer.pic.twitter.com/ygbUSpWqFh

The Sentencing Memo - filed by a private attorney - mentions Ben Shapiro. The defendant's lawyer blamed the girlfriend for radicalizing him. But Buzzfeed said Shapiro was mentioned to Federal Agents. That is not the case.pic.twitter.com/uNSIhXaOI9

Do I care that Buzzfeed smeared Ben Shapiro by wrongly tying him to an anti-Semitic crime. Of course not. I even find it funny given that Ben plays a hall monitor. But truth matters and Buzzfeed got the story wrong. Shapiro is innocent here.

P.S. If Buzzfeed and the left want to blame Ben Shapiro for an anti-Semitic hate crime because a lawyer claimed his client's *girlfriend* read Shapiro once, - let's talk about the SPLC. Court records directly tie the SPLC to a domestic terrorist attack.https://www.cernovich.com/splc-floyd-lee-corkins-family-research-council-shooting/ …

The Buzzfeed / Shapiro bombshell - The guy's *girlfriend* read Shapiro once, according to a lawyer (not a federal agent), In the case of the SPLC, the convicted terrorist said, - "Southern Poverty Law lists, ah, anti-gay groups. I found them online"https://www.cernovich.com/splc-floyd-lee-corkins-family-research-council-shooting/ …

Far more interesting than trying to tie Ben Shapiro to the Nazi - The attacker had a handler in Ukraine or Romania, it's not completely clear. Foreign assets are in discord chats radicalizing American youths. But Buzzfeed chooses to smear Shapiro instead of focusing on this.pic.twitter.com/Q35KVmLGpm

You can - and should - read the full case file that Buzzfeed neglected to upload. There are foreign assets inciting anti-Semitic attacks by U.S. citizens, but the story angle was to score a cheap shot on Ben Shapiro. https://www.cernovich.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/nolan-brewer-file.pdf …

No. The vandal never said this about Ben Shapiro. Will
@snopes fact check this?pic.twitter.com/hxmEGRr4wi

The Buzzfeed article itself mentions the Sentencing Memo, which was filed by a private lawyer. - Their headline said the defendant mentioned Shapiro in an interview with law enforcement. That's false. And the full case file shows the defendant would have hated Shapiro.pic.twitter.com/FehyVrMWcH

What's disappointing about the Buzzfeed smear of Shapiro is that they did in fact uncover a valuable case file that was unnoticed. Foreign assets are using chat groups to radicalize Americans into anti-Semitic hate crimes. (Peter was this guy's handler.) That's a real story.pic.twitter.com/RMfe6IoO3P

To get a sense of how awful the Buzzfeed smear or Ben Shapiro is - Here are court records of the anti-Semitic vandal’s phone lock screen and images he kept. (There are much worse but if I post them someone will flag my tweet itself.)pic.twitter.com/8S6H2uUEL3

NOTHING on Ben Shapiro's writings even slightly calls for fascism or anti-Semitism. He stands for looking the truth in the face even if it is a hard thing. He is a religious Jew and cannot be anti-semitic by definition because he follows the Tora.The man just wants2bring him down

This is shocking! Buzzfeed is normally so reliable. Pardon me for a moment, typing that last sentence has caused some issues for me, so I need to go empty some vomit out of my trash can... (returns 5 minutes later) Anyway, nice work doing some ACTUAL reporting.
