Ignored in this is that Trumps response was This is a question???? I come here and this is the first question??? Doesn't give a lot of support for the position, does it.
If this was true.
The media is screwed up big time. They have no journalistic integrity at all by misrepresenting.
Hell That would be considered as a defense. Even though he doesn't even have to acknowledge anything.
SOP
They have no journalistic intergrity.
See Candi Crawley in the 2012 debate where she jumped into the debate to help Obama then it turned out the next day that there was absolute proof, Obama on tape saying a video caused Benghazi. Rommney had called him on it Obama lied and denied it, Crawley who was suppossed to be neutral jumped in to back Obama. By the time the truth came out it was too late to help Rommney. That is what passes for journalistic integrety these days.
My god you cant even remember things from three years ago correctly
Her name is CROWLEY. And Romney said the president didnt call it an "ACT OF TERROR Crowley pointed out Obama had said it. When the president ACTUALLY DID say it was an act of terror, the day AFTER the attacks.
There is video of him saying it.
Presidential debate moderator Candy Crowley fact checked Mitt Romney after the Republican presidential candidate charged that President Obama failed to call the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi an "act of terror." (See update below).
More than an hour into the debate, an undecided voter in the town hall forum asked the president about the recent attack in Libya that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three additional Americans.
When Romney responded to the question, he charged that it took Obama days to call the Benghazi attack an act of terror. Obama called the incident an "act of terror" during his remarks on September 12, just one day after the tragedy.
"No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for," Obama said in the Rose Garden. "Today we mourn four more Americans who represent the very best of the United States of America."
Obama interrupted Romney, telling the Republican presidential candidate to "get the transcript" of his remarks. When the governor doubled down on his charge, Crowley interjected, saying the president "did in fact" call the attack an act of terror.
"He did in fact call it an 'act of terror,'" Crowley said.
"Can you say that a little louder?" Obama asked.
Crowley continued speaking to Romney. Referring to the president, she said, "It did as well take two weeks or so for the whole idea of there being a riot out there about this tape to come out. You are correct about that."
The succinct live factcheck left quite the impression. Twitter exploded with messages praising and criticizing the CNN host.
Crowley joined her CNN colleagues just after the debate concluded, where she was immediately asked about her Libya-related point.
"I knew that the president had said 'act of terror,'" Crowley said. "I heard it ... [Romney] picked that one wrong fact."
UPDATE: On Wednesday, Crowley responded to conservative critics who said she "backtracked" on her Libya fact check.
During an interview with Soledad O'Brien, Crowley firmly stated that she did not backtrack on her fact check:
...We got hung up on this, “Yes, he said. No, I didn’t. I said terror. You didn’t say terror.” And then there was this point they both kind of looked at me...And what I wanted to move this along...So I said, “He did say acts of terror, called it an act of terror. But Governor Romney, you are perfectly right that it took weeks for them to get past the tape.
