I was already gone before the choosing of the video. What I did was this:
-Rack my brains for somebody to endorse Brianna
-Ask pretty much every progressive politician I knew to endorse Brianna
-Sam Hammar was trying to make friends at Our Revolution Malden, and said yes without ever talking to Brianna, basically to be nice to me.
-I said look Brianna, I finally got somebody to endorse you!
-Brianna said what good are endorsements, I want fundraising.
-I asked Sam if she wanted to do a joint fundraiser with Brianna
-Sam said sure, and called in all her people to set something up
-Way fewer people wanted to come than Sam's typical fundraising events. Sam said "why don't we do She Geeks Out instead?"
-I said "perfect!"
-Sam said "Great, I'll set it up!"
-Brianna yelled at me for letting Sam cancel the fundraiser
(various other things happened)
-I got fired
(various other things happened, including the video)
-She Geeks Out happened.
So I don't know how the video happened.
My best guess is this: Brianna never made an overall campaign video besides the silly Godzilla one. She had one on Net Neutrality and like another one, but no good one to use for this. Because basically, Sam Hammar or Ayanna can get a video made for $100 that would cost Brianna $1000 or more. Filmmakers are used to being given insane demands by crazy celebs and would be celebs, they don't blink and just jack up the price. And not wanting to pay any filthy progressive peasants more than the pittance she paid me, she never made one. Which left her "having" to make her own for this even, or have no video at all. So she and Frank probably made it themselves on a webcam or something.
