Obama campaign press secretary Ben La Bolt probably wasn’t expecting a rumble with CNN host Ashleigh Banfield today, but he sure got one.

Banfield criticized the Obama campaign over their new anti-Bain video, an investment company previously headed by Mitt Romney.

“Come on, you’re mincing dates and you’re cheating here,” Banfield prodded. “Is it fair and is it clean?”

“Keep it clean out there for heavens sake, we have that crap on our television,” Banfield advised. “Be nice to each other, pump your own guy up, it’s nicer for us Americans.”
