well what he's not going to be able to
make the case for is that heat didn't
invest in a company that made money from
aborted fetus disposal this is
incredible earlier in the year mit
romney
i'd answer some questions about
huffington post reporting that in
nineteen ninety nine
romney was part of an investment group
that invested seventy five million
dollars ends they recycle
a medical waste disposal firm that's
been attacked by anti-abortion groups
because they dispose of aborted fetuses
collected from family-planning clinics
now romney was job basically trying to
play the pro-life type guy and he said
you-know-what uh... i wasn't really
involved at bain at that time they
instead he left in february of nineteen
ninety
the run the twenty third two thousand
two olympic winter games and he had
nothing to do with the deal it never
became a campaign issue us
turns out it was a flat-out lie
just not true
yet another contradiction
in his ongoing debate with himself
about abortion this they recycle deal
is relevant
because it really questions number one
it can we trust mit romney i think we
know the answer is no but haven't you
when the actually leave bain capital
um... there was a washington post story
reporting that bain capital quired
companies that outsource jobs
and we talk about that last week there
on the campaign insists that romney
laugh in february of nineteen ninety
nine about a month or so before being
took over the companies mentioned in the
washington post article
the s_e_c_ documents that we now have
looked at
suggest that's not true they say romney
played a role at bain capital at least
until the end of nineteen ninety nine
check-out mother jones dot com for the
detailed story on as and the documents
they that mit romney may be deemed to
share voting and despises power with
respect to over two million shares of
common stock
instead of saying kal
in his capacity
as short sold shareholder lewis that was
about eleven percent of the outstanding
shares of common stock
mit romney
they have had nothing to do with the
investment
the company's they recycle which
disposed of aborted fetuses
turns out he held eleven percent
of their outstanding shares
of common stock
some of these just as shareholder
and not actively engaged in any anything
the company does he actively decided to
invest in the company
maybe use a police to what they did
maybe he was doing what he did to
american baton paper which was to
destroy the company
maybe that's what will hear listen
romney's job is not to help companies if
the by them and then destroy them so he
was actually doing something
pro-life
anti-abortion by investing in this
company
this is that it is it ok to to plead
ignorance about what the company was
doing if you're not esther actually not
if it is that it needed that no question
about it not when you're owning eleven
percent of the outstanding stock
if i have private bucks
you know some company that's doing
something evil and that i find out about
it it's reasonable to plead ignorance
if this is your job
you can't plead ignorance dot
okay let's take a break lou if there's
one more story i want to get to your mit
romney story let's try to push it to the
next segment will take a break they
