To make sense of the unprecedented events of January 6, 2021, Vitus ‘V’ Spehar did what no traditional journalist would do – crawl under a desk and begin recording a video for TikTok.
“I didn’t want to make people think that I was an expert,” said Spehar, “So I thought, where’s a safe place to have a conversation?”
Two years later, the ‘Under the Desk News’ TikTok account attracts nearly 3 million followers, who appreciate Spehar’s gentler take on the news of the day.
