After Romney said that it took Obama 14 days to call the attack that killed four Americans at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, an act of “terror,” Obama cited remarks he made in the White House Rose Garden on September 12, the day after the attack. The president said he had mentioned terrorism in recounting the attack.
“Get the transcript,” Obama told Romney.
“He did call it an act of terror,” Crowley said, siding with Obama’s interpretation.
On CNN after the debate, Crowley said her comment “was the natural thing that came out of me.”
Romney supporters at the debate were irate.
“Candy was wrong, and Candy had no business doing that, and Candy didn’t even keep the (candidates’ speaking) time right,” said former New Hampshire governor John Sununu, one of Romney’s most boisterous supporters.
Other Republicans chimed in with criticism of Crowley.
