Obama Campaign Aide Caught Lying Over Anti-Romney Ad

A top Obama campaign official, Deputy Campaign Manager Stephanie Cutter, is being accused of lying over what she knew about the man at the center of a controversial super PAC ad tying his wife’s death to Mitt Romney. On Wednesday Cutter appeared on CNN saying “I don’t know the facts” about the case of Joe Soptic, the steelworker who appeared in the ad for the pro-Obama super-PAC Priorities USA. But in May of this year, Cutter hosted a conference call in which Soptic detailed his case to reporters.
