Billionaires must go
"Billionaires must go" is the whole caption, and the whole argument, of the newest Short from Hawk, the political commentator also known as mdg650hawk. Eleven hours after it went up, it was past 400,000 views. A Short on this channel usually closes its first day with something in the tens of thousands.
The description holds nothing but Hawk's usual links, so the title carries the message on its own. That suits a channel whose about text promises he "tells it like it is," from a man who describes himself as a trial attorney with 25 years in the courtroom and who brings that to the news of the day.
The comments came in faster still. In under half a day they reached about thirty times the number a Short here usually gathers in a full day. Many viewers single out the music Hawk chose for the clip, and several say they first took it for a Saturday Night Live sketch.
It was not a one-video day. Two more Shorts posted the same day, among them "They're just unimaginably dumb," also ran several times past the usual start, and the channel as a whole had a day well above its normal pace.
