As Twitchy reported on the eve on 9/11, authorities arrested a Florida man who was caught working with an informant to build and detonate a pressure cooker bomb at Sunday’s Kansas City Memorial Stair Climb, which honors first responders.
In the criminal complaint, Goldberg, of Orange Park, Fla., went by the name AusWitness and claimed to be from Perth, Australia. Today, Markos Moulitsas, founder of Daily Kos and co-founder of Vox Media, is claiming that Goldberg went by many aliases and personas, and even wrote for conservative site Breitbart.com.
Breitbart writer arrested for terrorism, for trying to help terrorists build bomb http://t.co/R7ZM19cnSa via @thedailybeast

What’s baffling is that Moulitsas’ link points to a piece in The Daily Beast in which writer Katie Zavadski rounds up several of Goldberg’s online personas. Breitbart.com isn’t mentioned once, though, although Daily Kos is [emphasis ours]:
Goldberg also had another alter ego, Tanya Cohen, whom he attacked using Michael Slay on the Daily Stormer. Cohen was evidently a parody of far-left social justice activists. Slay called her “a Jew bitch who specializes in writing about how the US needs to ban ‘hate speech’ and any other speech that goes against the Jewish cultural Marxist agenda.” An email in Tanya Cohen’s name was linked to Goldberg’s IP address, and articles in her name appeared on Thought Catalog, Daily Kos, and feminist website Feministing.
@markos He was a Breitbart writer too?

@markos @thedailybeast Markos, where does this say he's with Breitbart?
— Radio Angie ? (@AngieCoiro) September 12, 2015
@AngieCoiro @markos @thedailybeast It doesn't. It does say he wrote for the Daily Kos though. You could not make this up.

@markos @thedailybeast The only thing he did NOT pretend to be was a Breitbart writer.

@markos @stranahan @thedailybeast Mentioned in the story: Goldberg trolled Daily Kos as a fake feminist.
Not mentioned: Breitbart.

Are you confusing Jonah Goldberg @JonahNRO with Joshua Goldberg, or what? You are one stupid POS, @markos

Milo Yiannopoulos is an actual Breitbart.com writer.

So far, the only response from Moulitsas has been this bit of trolling.
I don't have to worry about dKos writers getting arrested for trying to incite terrorism. That's a conservative thing http://t.co/yYtGW1FIzC
