There’s a weird story out on social media that the Bloomberg campaign put out this really dumb video of people singing in support of his presidential run, and then fired the guys that made it when it turned out to be an embarrassment.

So much fun at the Bloomberg rally last night. The feeling in the room was electric. #Mike2020 #MovesLikeBloomberg pic.twitter.com/N7ZK80lR1q

So the campaign tried to get out the word that this isn’t from them:
https://twitter.com/Mike2020/status/1205504786881241089So now they’re pretending that they were fired from the campaign:
This is how I find out I’ve been let go from the Bloomberg campaign. I’m devastated. This is not how you treat your staffers. You can’t silence me from the things I know. This is not the end. #DropOutBloomberg https://t.co/eCHKU8qJ09

And the other guy “quit” from a campaign he wasn’t really on:
This is disgusting. The Bloomberg campaign can find a new social media coordinator because I quit. This is just one of many examples of abuse on unpaid interns I’ve heard about. This is no way to run a campaign. #dropoutbloomberg https://t.co/UvxTQdkGE6

Then he posts this “proof” that the thing was orchestrated:
I have plenty more to share, but what people are saying is true: the #MovesLikeBloomberg dance was orchestrated. #DropOutBloomberg pic.twitter.com/3nNZnh2Ebp

But I mean, anyone can just type that out.
And now people are tweeting under the hashtag as if it actually happened and they are outraged:
https://twitter.com/jackallisonLOL/status/1205613229969293313absolutely shameful behavior from the @mike2020 team. my parents both love Bloomberg but I'll be encouraging them to support Amy Klobuchar from now on #DropOutBloomberg https://t.co/TWuEnWHnDZ

And now it’s trending:
Let's keep the momentum going. 29-year-old unpaid interns are people too. #DropOutBloomberg pic.twitter.com/HO22ijw03K

Soooo. That’s happening. Pretty clever. And pretty funny. Will it make any difference at all? Likely not. The only way this gets bigger is if the Bloomberg campaign stupidly responds. Then it becomes a huge news story. If they ignore it, it’ll just be a stupid curiosity that died on Twitter….
