Nobody with any knowledge about Rabbi Weiss, even those who oppose his innovations, thinks that he has said or done anything that would put him outside the halachic bounds of what constitutes someone with kosher eidut.

I’m assuming the above is based on a novel ruling by Maharat Weiss that anyone is kosher for eidus. This is because the halachos of eidus must be updated for our times, and we cannot exclude women, goyim, and apikorsim. Thus, even though Maharat Weiss has the din of a woman and a goy, he is still kosher for eidus.

(I grant him the din of a woman as a favor because he wants to be treated equally to women, and goy status because it is bigoted to discriminate against goyim for eidus so I have equalized that for him also. I really am his best advocate.)

(Really, that was a joke, but in which world are apikorsim kosher as eidim? What are you trying to get at here?)
