Was there collusion between CNN's Candy Crowley and the White House?
Here is the tape in which Governor Romney and President Obama discuss Benghazi. Begin at about the 1:08 mark.
Neo-neocon writes,
this is the only time Crowley attempts to “fact-check” in real time (something I don’t think has ever been done by a moderator in a presidential debate). Why did she decide to do this?
Why did she wave the paper around at that point? Did she want people to believe she’d looked it up when she hadn’t?
Or if the answer to question #1 was that the paper was in fact a transcript, why would she have had this transcript with her? And did she even have time to look it up? How was she able to answer so quickly? If it was a transcript, why didn’t she find a quote and read it?
Jack Cashill wrote one month after the debate:
Obama did not throw the “act of terror” line away. He said it clearly and defiantly, as though he knew he could get away with it. Feigning outrage, Obama then told of how he manfully greeted the caskets as they arrived at Andrews Air Force Base and how he was offended at the very suggestion that anyone on his “team” would “play politics or mislead when we have lost four of our own.”Sensing an opening, Romney moved in for the kill over Crowley’s protestations that he respond “quickly.” Romney looked straight at Obama, raised his eyebrows quizzically, and 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.”
Now back on his stool, Obama answered uncomfortably, “Please proceed. Please proceed, governor.” Romney turned back to Crowley and said that he just wanted to get Obama’s response on record. With the camera still on Romney, the TV audience heard Obama say off-camera, “Get the transcript.”
The camera then moved to a wide-shot and showed Crowley waving a piece of paper. Several of my correspondents — and, I am sure, many others — believed that to be the transcript and wondered how Crowley just happened to have it.
“He did in fact, sir, call…” said Crowley hesitantly to Romney, “so let me call it an act of terror.”
“Can you say that a little louder, Candy?” said a suddenly revived Obama while the Obama fans in the audience, Michelle included, cheered in violation of the rules.
To save whatever credibility it has, CNN needs to question Crowley regarding her role in this intervention. Why did she serve up Obama that “buck stop” question? Did he know it was coming? Did she wave the paper intentionally to give the illusion that she had the transcript in hand? And finally, how dare she add new information into a debate — false information at that — at so crucial a moment?
