(856 posts)10. I didn't have any trouble understanding it in the commercial
Perhaps the difficulty lies with regional accents? I don't remember her having a particularly strong accent but that could just be me.

It is a different TV ad but I checked out the group after I saw it on TV to see who was pissing me off while watching MSNBC.

It is a GOP dark money group.
"The group, which is called 45Committee, is registered under a section of the tax code 501(c)(4) that allows tax-exempt groups to accept contributions of unlimited sizes that can be used to air political and issue-based ads without disclosing their donors names."
