Watch The Video: The Romney Fundraiser Tape

Romney

This week, online  news publication Mother Jones published an exclusive video that captured presidential candidate (GOP nominee) Mitt Romney speaking to donors at a May 17 fundraiser, which was held at the home of private equity mogul Mark Leder.

Romney told attendees of this $50,000-a-plate dinner that 47 percent of Americans—those who back President Obama—are “victims” who are “dependent upon government” and “pay no income tax.” He noted: “My job is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.”

During his response to a question about the “Palestinian problem,” Romney said peace in the Middle East is not possible and a Palestinian state is not feasible. He told donors that Palestinians have “no interest whatsoever in establishing peace and that the pathway to peace is almost unthinkable to accomplish.”  These comments set off a media firestorm. The following is the secretly recorded video (part 1 and part 2):
