Unfortunately, the moderator lied to cover up for him. She knew the truth, and knew what Obama and his minions publicly stated repeatedly for 2 weeks, and she LIED to give him cover. I don’t think Mitt was prepared for the moderator to ‘fact check’ during the debate by lying.
Which proved Crowley has a preference and was not able to remain impartial. She demonstrated she was not fit to moderate. Further, her blatant partisanship and incorrectness needs to be corrected, publicly, loudly and repeatedly.
Candy Crowley is like the villain of the planet Tatooine:
"Boonowa tweepi, ha, ha.
Mr Presidnet! Hay lapa no ya, Mr President!
Governor Romney, make-cheesay. Pa'sa tah ono caulky Benghazi. Yanee dah poo noo."
“Unfortunately, the moderator lied to cover up for him. She knew the truth”
Her intervention in the dispute makes me think that she was tipped off. I bet an Obama aide got her the word: “Candy, be sure to read the president’s Rose Garden remarks the day after the Libya attack!”
That would be all that would be needed.
The one sentence inserted in the Rose Garden talk — that had as it’s main point the opposite — was a fall back for then they got caught.
As stated above, a five minute talk in the Rose Garden doesn’t compare to an address at the UN when he used the “film did it” lie.
