Independent journalist Nick Shirley says he’s not worried about critics slinging nasty allegations his way. “I don’t drink alcohol, I don’t do drugs, I’m a virgin,” he declared, adding, “I don’t have sex with random girls.”

Shirley made the comments during a recent appearance on the “PBD Podcast” with host Patrick Bet David, where the two discussed the fallout from Shirley’s now-viral video exposing rampant fraud in the Minnesota daycare system.

“What sucks for them is they’re never going to be able to get me. I don’t drink alcohol, I don’t do drugs, I’m a virgin … I’m religious. I believe in God … I have nothing to hide.”@DailyCaller pic.twitter.com/3x259r6Em7

“These people are like — I saw something — someone’s calling me, like, a PDF, they’re saying all these crazy allegations, I’m like wait,” Shirley began. “What sucks for them is they’re never gonna be able to get me. I don’t drink alcohol, I don’t do drugs, I’m a virgin. I don’t have sex with random girls. You’re not gonna catch me on those sexual allegation charges.”

“I don’t have any addictions, I don’t have any vices. So what are these people gonna get me for?” he asked. “They’re done. I’m religious, I believe in God. I’m everything they hate, so what are they going to get me for? They can’t get me for anything. Like, they’re gonna come after me for my personality or for a stunt I did in high school maybe? That’s maybe the best thing they could get me for, is for Nick Shirley being a young, reckless teenager, just like any other YouTube prankster. Go ahead, I don’t care. Like, I have nothing to hide.”

“I literally have nothing to hide, so like, I am going to become their worst enemy, and you’re going to start seeing them using the slandering tactics and it’s just going to be comical because they can’t get anything on me,” he predicted.

Shirley also commented during the same podcast appearance about the threats he’s received since his video went viral, saying that he’d been told he was going to be “Kirked” — in reference to the assassinated Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk — and that members of his family had been doxxed and flooded with calls from media outlets.

The situation surrounding Zohran Mamdani’s swearing-in as New York City mayor has produced an unusual quirk on social media: he has inherited the official @NYCMayor account along with all of the tweets posted under former Mayor Eric Adams — including Adams’s pro-Israel messaging. Because the account name and profile have now been updated to reflect Mayor Mamdani, those older tweets remain publicly visible under his name, even though they were written before he took office, creating a jarring and sometimes humorous mismatch between past content and the new mayor’s positions.

The NYC Mayor’s Twitter account is now under Mayor Mamdani’s name, but unlike the White House accounts, prior tweets are not archived or clearly attributed to past administrations.

As a result, there are tweets still visible that are jarring when they appear under Mayor… pic.twitter.com/lxgbmrEmY1

For the record, Mamdani condemned Netanyahu when he appeared at UN and accused him of genocide. NYC needs to update its social media management.

This contrasts sharply with how official White House social-media accounts are handled during a presidential transition. As The Washington Post explained in 2017 when Donald Trump assumed office, institutional federal accounts such as @POTUS, @WhiteHouse, @FLOTUS, @VP, and @PressSec transfer to the incoming administration with their followers but not their content. The outgoing administration’s tweets are archived under separate, clearly labeled accounts (such as @POTUS44 for Barack Obama), while the new administration begins with a clean slate. This system prevents confusion about who authored past posts and preserves a clear public record.

New York City, however, treats @NYCMayor as a continuous government communications tool rather than a time-limited account tied to a specific mayor. The account is owned and managed by the City of New York through the Mayor’s Office of Digital Strategy under city social media policy. That means the account is not reset or archived when a new mayor takes office. Instead, it functions as a running institutional record spanning multiple administrations.

As Newsweek has noted, the account has existed since January 2009 and now contains an extensive archive of posts from successive mayors. The result is that tweets written by Eric Adams remain fully visible even though the account now bears Mamdani’s name — a structural difference from federal account-transition practices that highlights how state and local governments often follow their own conventions when managing digital public records.
