VIDEO: Parody commercial uses Mitt Romney’s own voice against him

YouTube user Hugh Atkin created a mock Romney campaign video by slicing together Mitt Romney’s own voice. In the parody video, uploaded on August 17th, Mitt Romney says, “I don’t really know who I am. I don’t know what I believe. I served as governor for four years, like a mini skirt it was short and revealing. I was liberal, but I was conservative as well.”
