When we went into lockdown, the campaign started producing YouTube videos seven days a week. I focused on two shows: The Right View and Triggered.

Remember that ultra-violent meme video showing “Trump” blasting the heads off journalists?

It happened at a conspiracy theory conference held at a Trump hotel.

I was there — for all 3 days…and trust me, the video was only half of it.
