Carter Family Gets Payback

James Carter IV, the grandson of former President Jimmy Carter, told NBC News that he tracked down the source who took the secret Mitt Romney video and encouraged him to release the full tape to Mother Jones magazine.

Carter “also confirmed there is a personal side to the backstory of the campaign video: he was especially motivated, he said, because of Romney’s frequent attacks on the presidency of his grandfather.”

Carter to New York magazine: “I’ve been searching for clips on Republicans for a long time, almost every day. I just do it for fun.”
