Saying Moderator Is Prettier Than CNN's Crowley Gets Candidate In Trouble
As Republican Rep. Joe Walsh of Illinois was courting controversy last night by saying during a debate that the "health of the mother" isn't a reason for an abortion anymore, out in Arizona a Democratic candidate for Senate was stepping in it by telling a male debate moderator that "you're prettier" than CNN's Candy Crowley.
BuzzFeed Politics has the video of Richard Carmona getting himself in trouble. It happened when moderator Brahm Resnick, after some tough exchanges, joked that "geez, now I now how Candy Crowley felt." That, of course, was a reference to the flak Crowley took during Tuesday's presidential debate.
Carmona reached over and patted Resnik's arm, while saying "you're prettier than her."
NPRI love the disclaimer at the end.
