Bartender who shot '47 percent' Romney video reveals his identity

• Tweet

The anonymous bartender who leaked Romney's off-the-record comments will appear on MSNBC's "Ed Show" Wednesday night.

The comments were made by Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney at a campaign fundraising event, where a bartender filmed the comments. The anonymous source then leaked the video to Mother Jones magazine, who published the remarks in a series of articles.

When asked about his decision to release the footage, the bartender told Ed Schultz “It was tough."

From Romney's comments at the fundraiser:

In an excerpt from the upcoming interview, Schultz asks the bartender if at any point he feared for his life. "I was up against the most powerful, the richest people in the country and the stakes were pretty high and you never know what could happen,” he said. “There’s nuts out there. You just don’t know. I've certainly had threats.”
