Mitt Romney released an ad last week that falsely claimed President Obama had gutted the work requirement in welfare. On Monday, the Romney campaign and the RNC released their second ad on the issue, claiming again that Obama gutted the 1996 welfare law by “quietly end[ing] work requirements for welfare.”
Called “Long History,” the narrator in the ad says Obama has a history of opposing “work for welfare,” and plays a clip of then state-Senator Barack Obama saying, “I Was Not A Huge Supporter Of The Federal Plan That Was Signed In 1996.” The ad ends with Romney promising to return the work requirement to welfare.
