[Video] Ben Swann Reality Check questions Mitt Romney about unseating of Maine delegates

Notice at 0:57 seconds, Ben said that Romney agreed to do the interview only if Ben followed their terms and conditions?

But Ben threw in his "gotcha" at the end of the interview. Good job Ben!!
 
Mad props to Ben for such a ballsy move.

I would have followed up with the following question:

"This is a major move by your campaign attorney. Should we be concerned that you say you're not even aware of what your staff is doing? It seems to me that would either make you a grossly incompetent manager, or, much more likely the case, you are completely aware of these activities and just lied to me. Which is it?"

And not every reporter would come out and say the campaign gave him conditions, and if they did, they'd definitely not say what those conditions were.

I hope this interview cost him OHio

this is a perfect piece to explain the severity of what's going on to people not close up to it all like we are. i play swann pieces for my wife; she loved this, and he got everything she needed to know across fast and easy. she's a huge RP fan, just isn't as connected to these forums, etc, as i am.

Ben probably thought it was an accident he got this interview and wouldn't even get another one anyway, so he went ahead and asked the hard question.
 
And he knew he would only get 1 question. I think he picked a good one.

See, that's something people should really be concerned about with Romney. Yeah, he's a tyrant, but there's something else that goes along with that. He doesn't know how to handle a situation when it doesn't go the way he expects it to. See how he totally deflects the question?

Oh yeah. There are so many videos out of there of him in public or at town halls and he cannot handle himself when asked a tough question. He gets angry and arrogant.

There's that Bret Baier interview where Mitt squirmed in the chair........

I've been passing the link around.. got this as a reply:
My daughter is working at the RNC convention! (She works at the forum) So I sent her that video and told her to play it at work!
 
I find it hilarious that they didn't even air the part where Ben was supposed to ask Romney what he could do for the critical swing state of OHIO. Boy did they get punked.

The other parts of the interview will be aired on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday...

Yep, I was laughing out loud at the fact that Swann just skipped right over the rest of the interview, as if the other questions he asked were just decoys.

I know he's going to show the rest of the interview on future nights, but it made that first segment hilarious to watch.

Punk'd is right.
