Philip de Vellis Blue State Digital Clinton Obama 1984 Philip de Vellis, a strategist with Blue State Digital has ‘fessed up to creating the Hillary Clinton “1984″ YouTube video but stated that the Obama campaign nor his employer had any connection to the ad.

“It’s true…yeah, it’s me,” de Vellis said an interview with AP. He confirmed that the work was done solo without the knowledge of Blue State Digital or Obama, “But it raises some eyebrows, so I thought it best that I resign and not put them in that position.”

“Mr. de Vellis created this video on his own time,” said Thomas Gensemer, managing director of BSD. “It was done without the knowledge of management, and was in no way tied to his work at the firm or our formal engagement (on technology pursuits) with the Obama campaign.”

“The Obama campaign and its employees had no knowledge and had nothing to do with the creation of the ad. We were notified this evening by a vendor of ours, BSD, that an employee of the company had been involved in the making of this ad. BSD has separated ties with this individual and we have been assured he did no work on our campaign’s account.”
