A documentary filmmaker supposedly caught her on video saying it – but she [insists the tape is a fake.](http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16143329/) Or a distortion – that part isn’t so clear.

British filmmaker Dollan Cannell [insists](http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/16216431.htm) he didn’t doctor Ros-Lehtinen’s remarks.
