Bernie's campaign paid for her to make the video, but she had full creative control and made the video she wanted to make to announce her support/endorsement for Sanders.

I was not aware of that so thank you for the knowledge. Either way, I think the campaign has to own the message and it just did not sit well with me overall. But, I am just one person and I am Caucasian at that so I am not really the intended audience. I hope it plays well for him and helps his campaign make Hillary continue to work for the nomination.

Last week we made a commercial to express to the world exactly why I am endorsing Bernie Sanders for President. The Sanders team allowed me and my team full creative control of this video so this message is 100% my message and my views! They had a totally different idea of what should be done, but true to form with Senator Sanders, he listened to me, didn’t tell me he knew better and I was not practical and this is what we produced.

The Senator didn’t reach out to me all of a sudden because he needs help with Black people. He didn’t put out a press conference announcing that we would be working together. He didn’t force me to frame my support of him around a subject matter that special interest groups that support him can get behind. They said we are glad to have your support, how do you want to plug in. You will see a lot of Black leaders handing out endorsements, think to yourself, have they historically been a rubber stamp for the establishment? I hope this expresses why I think Bernie is our guy!
