When Romney moved in for the kill, Candy left the moderator chair and jumped into the ring.
Chris Wallace’s performance was flagrant enough, but if an award were given to the most obvious tag-team partner in a presidential debate, that award would have to go to Candy Crowley, then with CNN for her performance in the second Obama-Romney debate. Here is what happened on the issue of Benghazi:
Looking quizzically at Obama, Romney asked, “You said in the Rose Garden the day after the attack it was an act of terror? It was not a spontaneous demonstration, is that what you are saying?” Obama answered uncomfortably, “Please proceed. Please proceed, Governor.” Romney did, saying to Crowley he just wanted to get Obama’s response on record. In the background Obama could be heard saying, “Get the transcript.” The camera then showed Crowley waving a piece of paper that could easily have been mistaken for the transcript. Said Crowley to Romney, “He did in fact, sir, call, so let me call it an act of terror.”
