CANDY CROWLEY, debate moderator, after the debate: You know, again, I heard the president’s speech at the time. I sort of reread a lot of stuff about Libya because I knew we’d probably get a Libya question, so I kind of wanted to be up on it. So we knew that the president had said, you know, ‘these acts of terror won’t stand,’ or whatever the whole quote was.
I think actually, you know, because right after that, I did turn to Romney and said you were totally correct but they spent two weeks telling us that this was about a tape and that there was this riot outside of the Benghazi consulate, which there wasn’t. So he was right in the main, I just think that he picked the wrong word.
Unfortunately, this was not her only mistake. She also cut Romney off about Fast and Furious to protect her best buddy Obama from looking bad on gun control. It’s too late to apologize now, and she should be fired. Just like all the other left-wing activists in the mainstream media.
Breitbart has the full list of Crowley’s attempts to help Obama win the debate.
Here are a few:
1. She wouldn’t let him respond when Obama lied about the auto industry. First she called him Mr. Romney instead of governor, then protested, “there’ll be plenty of chances here to go on, but I want to… We have all these folks. I will let you absolutely… OK. Will – will – you certainly will have lots of time here coming up.” Romney never did get the chance to respond.
2. After the question asking whether gas prices as they stand now are the new normal, Obama got 2 chances to respond. When Romney asked for his second chance, Crowley shut him off by saying, “ … in the follow up, it doesn’t quite work like that. But I’m going to give you a chance here. I promise you, I’m going to.” She didn’t.
3. When discussing how he would deal with deductions, just as Romney was about to destroy Obama with statistics, Crowley jumped in to save her man not only by denying the value of statistics, but changing the narrative to say Romney’s numbers couldn’t possibly add up:
“And Governor, let’s – before we get into a vast array of who says – what study says what, if it shouldn’t add up. If somehow when you get in there, there isn’t enough tax revenue coming in. If somehow the numbers don’t add up, would you be willing to look again …”
4. When Romney was trying to make a point of Obama’s pension investing in China, Crowley cut him off by insinuating people were tired of him talking:
“Governor Romney, you can make it short. See all these people? They’ve been waiting for you. Make it short.”
Then she really tried to humiliate him with this: “If I could have you sit down, Governor Romney. Thank you.” She never asked Obama to sit down.
Romney should have removed his shoe, pulled his sock off and stuffed it in her mouth.
Dear Mz Crowley, you know, I don’t know, and furthermore I have been taught that using “you know” frequently leaves an impression of lower intelligence. Thank you for this live demonstration!
Yeah she corrected herself but try to un ring the bell!
There was a 21 page set of rules outlining how the debate would be conducted. As soon as she broke the first one, Romney should have pointed it out. He then should have told her to kiss his ass and had a press conference ready to go.
If we have to have a liberal moderator at each of these debates, can’t we at least have an attractive one?
None available?
Then hire one, dammit.
You forgot the Fast and Furious discussion Romney started in response to the gun violence question. She simply moved on to another question and allowed Obama to go on and on about education while supposed to be talking about gun violence.
If I could have you sit down, Governor Romney.
Candy is a liberal. Romney is remarkable in these debates, if you take into consideration both debates were 2 democrats against 1.
bttt
Save Oblamer's ass at any cost.
