The Congressional Progressive Caucus on Tuesday released a darkly atmospheric black-and-white video to the tune of Radiohead’s “Videotape” song, in an effort to attack the House GOP budget.

The one-and-a-half minute spot features promises made last year by Republican leaders to create jobs, followed by a headline in the Washington Post saying the House-approved GOP budget could cost 700,000 jobs.

“Instead of creating jobs and cutting spending, all Republicans have offered is a plan to fire nearly one million Americans,” the narrator says slowly in a gloomy voice.

Watch the video, via the progressive caucus.

1. They should play the imperial march since
the Republicans goal is to replace the president with an Emperor.

2. Radiohead has a video called, "The Most Gigantic Lying Mouth of All Time." Fitting, IMO
Hate to stain their music with a tie to Repubs, but it it helps...
