Zack Weiner's campaign, fueled by satire, involved a staged video with a dominatrix—a mockumentary tactic inspired by past political scandals, misleading the public and the media.
Weiner’s friend and campaign manager, Joe Gallagher, confirmed the campaign was a satirical venture, creating a mock reality film that played upon the infamous Anthony Weiner and Eliot Spitzer scandals.
'I am a proud BDSMer. I like BDSM activity,' Weiner openly stated, obscuring the true nature of his campaign, which was designed to mimic controversy while delivering comedy.
The leaked BDSM video, intended to preempt political sabotage from opponents, served as a bizarre centerpiece of an elaborate hoax that captivated and confused voters alike.
