Claim: A Democratic robocall in Iowa accuses GOP Rep. Tom Latham of "looking out for himself" by profiting from legislation he actually opposed. The Des Moines Register reports that the call from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee charges Latham with "only looking out for himself, not the middle class," for having stock in a bank holding company that took Troubled Asset Relief Program funds in 2009. The problem with that claim is that Latham actually voted against the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act that created TARP back in 2008.
