As much as I applaud Man of the People™ Stephen Lynch for rightfully not engaging Mr. Flynt, I do wish that he would come out an body slam John the day before or day of the election should he make it on the ballot. I guarantee someone reasonably high up in Lynch's office, something like Deputy Chief of Staff whatever position they might hold in the campaign, is well aware of exactly who John is. Congressional offices I am familiar with vet the online presence of even constituents who call in with an issue they want the office to look into. They want to know what kind of crazy they might be getting into when they engage with someone. There is a much gossip in politics as an old lady stitch n' bitch circle. Everyone knows everyone else's business. Federal, state, local. Even if nobody of note within Lynch's staff dug into John, someone lower would have been asked to look into it, or would have just done it out of curiosity when they saw how deep the rabbit hole went, and then would have ran it back up the chain.She's just furiously trying to elicit a response, nothing more.
It's been said a few times, but Lynch knows that Brianna is a nobody, of interest only to small groups of radicals and the occasional internet forum. He's quite aware he can bury her simply by refusing to acknowledge her, because she's not big enough on her own to warrant addressing.
And this fucking infuriates her, fellow kiwis. Make no mistake, she's fucking livid about it, and mentioned it during that Wolfenstein stream. If there's one thing she can't handle, it's being snubbed, and Lynch refusing to indulge her antics is a slap in the face to her. It's a direct violation of her self image as the so called "Godzilla of Tech Feminism", an important and influential woman known to everyone.
Think back to the time she lost her shit on that plane, the whole "My name is Brianna Wu. Do you realize you just spilled soda on me?!" bit. Her entire self-worth is based around being known and feared, and to have someone destroy her just by ignoring her like a petulant child is driving her insane.
She's losing because she's such a nobody that she needs to beg for her opponent's attention just to have a chance to be in the fight at all, he knows it, and is refusing to enable her bullshit.
I think as things come to a close, we're going to see a lot more of these pathetic attempts to lure him into a fight.
