4:29Now Playing"With the 'throw the kitchen sink' phase of the presidential campaign now in high gear, two progressive groups are launching some of the sharpest attacks yet on Mitt Romney's private equity days.
The ad, titled "Economic Traitor," was paid for by Workers' Voice, the super PAC arm of the AFL-CIO, and Patriot Majority, a super PAC linked to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Playing on the controversial decision by Bain to move jobs at the company Sensata from Illinois to China, the ad is a cornucopia of sharp jabs at the Republican nominee, painting him as a heartless plutocrat who cares more about catering to the Chinese for profit than protecting American jobs. In short, it resurrects the caricature of Romney with which he struggled during the summer, only to dispel during the first presidential debate."* Cenk Uygur, Ben Mankiewicz (Host, Turner Classic Movies), and John Iadarola (Host, TYT University) break down the ad and discuss its effectiveness and what would happen if roles had been reversed.
