In 2023, Breuer appeared as a featured speaker on the ReAwaken America Tour.[7] During one appearance, Breuer received backlash for mocking the collapse of football player Damar Hamlin; he suggested the collapse was caused by COVID-19 vaccines, echoing conspiracy theories in anti-vaccine circles.[8]

"Breuer’s uniquely dazed look combined with his goofy humor used to make his teachers at Valley Stream Central High School laugh… followed by the writing of detention slips. If he could talk to the teachers who helped him to graduation in 1985, he would give them one big fat, 'Told you so!'"
