There is a YouTube clip circulating the internet of Mickey Kantor, a former Clinton advisor, allegedly saying derogatory things about residents of Indiana.

This clip is a total fabrication. The filmmaker confirmed that the video, which originates from the 1992 film War Room, has been doctored.

UPDATE: ABC News reports that the filmmakers behind the War Room documentary posted an official transcript, exonerating Kantor. The filmmakers Chris Hegedus and D. A. Pennebaker write: "We would like to respond to some erroneous statements made today about our film, THE WAR ROOM. These statements alleged certain remarks to Mickey Kantor that simply are not true. The transcript of the scene in question confirms this." Read the full transcript here.
