Mitt Romney put out an ad implying that Chrysler is moving U.S. jobs to China.
The claim is completely misleading and false, and provoked an outcry from Democrats and reporters . The report, from Bloomberg, actually said that Chrysler is talking about adding Jeep production in China in order to serve the Chinese market. Jeep production in North America would continue unchanged.

Watch both, AFTER THE JUMP…
