The same could be said of all SSPX, Sede, and independent trad priests, so why did you single this one out?

Technically, neither do most traditionalist priests. In saner times, they'd be saying this exact sentence about the SSPX as they have no jurisdiction, apostolic succession or faculties from the mainstream church.

Hardly.
The sspx is a canonically recognised order.
"Independent trad priests" have not necessarily been kicked out of their order and many independent priests have a bishop in a canonically sound order.
To call him "mr."  means he has been laicised.
"Fr." Cordaro has been presented as a legitimate priest at OLMC, ky.
