Following a request from Mitt Romney's presidential campaign to release the full video, and in addition to the previously released segments, Mother Joneshas now released the complete footage of Romney speaking at a private fundraising dinner earlier this year.
As David Corn at Mother Jonesreports, the complete video demonstrates that Romney's abrasive comments, which have been widely criticized over the past 24 hours, were not taken out of context but are consistent with an overall message in this behind-closed-door speech.
"I hope the person who has the video would put out the full material," Romney stated at a press conference last night. In response, Mother Jones reporter Adam Serwer tweeted, "Mitt wants the full video huh? Well don't worry, there's more to come."
Here is Mother Jones making good on that promise:
Why Your Ongoing Support Is Essential
Donald Trump’s attacks on democracy, justice, and a free press are escalating — putting everything we stand for at risk. We believe a better world is possible, but we can’t get there without your support. Common Dreams stands apart. We answer only to you — our readers, activists, and changemakers — not to billionaires or corporations. Our independence allows us to cover the vital stories that others won’t, spotlighting movements for peace, equality, and human rights. Right now, our work faces unprecedented challenges. Misinformation is spreading, journalists are under attack, and financial pressures are mounting. As a reader-supported, nonprofit newsroom, your support is crucial to keep this journalism alive. Whatever you can give — $10, $25, or $100 — helps us stay strong and responsive when the world needs us most. Together, we’ll continue to build the independent, courageous journalism our movement relies on. Thank you for being part of this community. |
