Pro-Obama super PAC Priorities USA Action is continuing to focus on Bain Capital in its latest ad announced Tuesday. The ad features Loris Huffman, who worked at Ampad in Indiana for 34 years until she was laid off after, under Bain Capital, Ampad closed the plant.

Here’s the script:

 

Loris Huffman:

 

      I worked at the plant going on 34 years.

 

     I thought that I was going to retire from there.  I had about two and a half years to go.

 

     I was suddenly 60 years old.  I had no healthcare.  And that’s scary.

 

     When Mitt Romney did that.

 

He, he made, he made me sick.

The ad is part of Priorities USA Action’s $4 million campaign announced last week and will run online and on TV in Colorado, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia. This latest hit comes just as Crossroads GPS, the conservative nonprofit arm of Karl Rove’s American Crossroads, releases the central piece of its $25 million ad offensive this month.
