WSJ: The Strategist Behind Platner's Rise Explains His Vetting Process [View all]

I don't usually post videos but holy shit lmao.

ETA: It's a 90-second video from the Wall Street Journal interviewing Dan Moraff, a "senior strategist" on Platner's campaign who was partially responsible for vetting the candidate. This whole thing was not ready for prime time.
