“It was not a bartender?”
MRCTV- Everyone remembers the “47 percent” video that pretty much was the nail in the coffin for Mitt Romney’s presidential bid in 2012. And most people remember the story that many reputable news organizations reported about a bartender who was supposedly the one who recorded the whole thing.
That is apparently not the truth.
James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas Action released another video late Wednesday night allegedly showing the now former national field director for Americans United for Change, Scott Foval, admitting that it was not the bartender’s phone that took the video of Romney’s now infamous remarks.
In 2013, CBS News reported this about the bartender:
The bartender working the private Florida fundraiser where Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney made his comments about “47 percent” of Americans says he didn’t make the secret recording as a political partisan.
In his first public interview, Scott Prouty tells MSNBC’s Ed Schultz that he lost sleep and struggled for weeks before deciding to release the recording to the magazine Mother Jones.
In the video, according to Foval, Prouty probably lost sleep because he was talked into filming the situation, and the cell phone in question wasn’t even his.
Foval brought up Robert Creamer, who was until recently the founder of Democracy Partners and close friend to the Obama White House, all the while reporting to the DNC.

HerThem All Up!What difference does it make? Romney spoke the truth about the 47 Percent. Now it’s closer to 50 Percent. What? The Plantation Democrats can’t handle the truth that they are getting paid to circle the drain? Drain the swamp!
It’s the ONLY thing this smuck said during the campaign that I respected him for, the absolute truth. Granted, not enough to get me to vote for the Vanilla Obama.
Marco is right. Romney spoke the truth and Obama/Jarrett used it to whip up the FSA. They were butthurt that someone spoke the truth.
Romeny, lacking the necessary sized testicles, hemmed & hawed. If Trump had been filmed saying that, he would never have apologized.
