5 min readThe $1.5 Million Clipping Machine
Five days after Charlie Kirk was assassinated in September 2025, someone uploaded videos of his widow Erica to a Google Drive folder. The clips—vacation footage, family moments, images of her at the casket—were packaged and ready to be distributed across social media. This was not grief. This was a campaign. And the person whose employees uploaded those videos, Candace Owens alleges, was Blake Wynn, the 26-year-old nephew of billionaire Steve Wynn and a close friend of Erica Kirk.
The revelation comes from a deep dive by journalist Ali Breland in The Atlantic, which Owens walks through in forensic detail. What Breland uncovered is an astroturfing operation run from Latvia—a company called Clipit (doing business as Monster Lab) that pays editors in Eastern Europe and the global south to chop up conservative videos and flood social media with them, making it look like organic grassroots support. The man running it, Matt Servius, openly recruits on Discord: "You can literally make 100K a month with this campaign," he tells potential clippers. Don't know US politics? No problem. "Go to Gemini or ChatGPT and be like, yo, I want some videos promoting Republican values."
