Jimmy Carter brags on ‘Mr. 47 percent’
In a CNN interview tonight, a very pleased former President Jimmy Carter brags on his grandson James Earl Carter IV, who was the fellow who brought out the "47 percent" video that caused Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney so much pain last fall.
“It was something [Romney] could not deny, and it stuck with him the rest of the election, and I think it was a major factor – if not the major factor,” Carter said.
