Millions of people are watching the videos in which a college student named Will Purvis — and his TikTok alias “wpsteezy” — interviews Democratic voters who talk about why they want to back Vice President Kamala Harris.
“When people watch my videos, they just, they can’t help themselves but go comment and say something on it, because some of the videos are crazy,” Purvis told Fox News Digital.
“I’ve had a woman say that when Trump was shot, she wished that he would have been shot in the forehead. So like, I’ve had people say some pretty crazy things,” Purvis added. “From the people that I talked to and my friends, I think we support Trump… and I think that Trump is the better option. It’s pretty obvious for my generation.”
In a TikTok video, Purvis approaches one woman to ask her who she would vote for in the upcoming election. She answered, [Kamala] will actually help our country more than Donald Trump would do, because she is smart, and she is more reliable.”
One voter pointed to Harris’s efforts on healthcare, women’s rights and her focus “on small businesses not the wealthy.”
“Uh, I don’t think he’s terrible — but the guy is out of his mind. That his ego would be standing in the way for him to defend himself, very intelligently? Camilla has the experience, she brings intelligence and education And, you know, she’s a woman. I think we need that. We need it, let’s do this,” she said.
Purvis’s videos have opened up a discourse on both sides of the continent, and they’ve racked up millions of views — with many people tuning in because they can’t believe what’s coming out of his mouth. While some of the videos carved out strong positions in favor of Harris and other Democrats, they also documented persistent support for Trump among others interviewed.
“[Trump] is a businessman,” one man said in a video. “I seen she was a part of ‘Biden camp,’ so she had to have been a part of what was going on in the economy.”
“Most people just want an affordable country and they want things to be affordable, like groceries, gas prices, rent prices, house prices and stuff like that. I think that’s the biggest issue, when voters are making their decision,” Purvis told Fox News Digital when asked about the most common concern for voters when considering the upcoming election.
“I think everyone obviously should have their own opinion, but I would say they just need to look into more of the policy issues and how Kamala Harris – I mean, she’s flip-flopped on many different policies, just completely flipped her views on them,” Purvis said. “I feel like they don’t realize that they’re voting for someone who just wants their vote.”
In closing, Purvis went on to say that everyone should “listen to both sides” because no one wants people being stuck in an echo chamber.
