WASHINGTON ABC News host and former Clinton White House staffer George Stephanopoulos has bowed out of moderating a GOP presidential debate after acknowledging he failed to disclose $75,000 in donations to the Clinton Foundation while interviewing an author critical of the charity.
The anchor voluntarily withdrew from the February GOP debate, said network spokeswoman Heather Riley. ABC said it stood behind him.

The stupid party strikes agains!
He’ll simply give his got’cha questions to his replacement. Only the faces will change.
The GOP needs to treat CBS and NBC as pariah stations. They’re simply an extension of the DNC. Boycott them. Refuse to let them in on the debates at all. Don’t go on their shows. Ignore them. Remove their special tax breaks (they should do this for all of the media) and keep the Internet government free.
The stupid party will probably beg Candy Crawley to take over
He’ll have to go and grandstand somewhere ELSE
No - Steffy was not going to moderate any GOP debate. This is like me announcing that I won’t sleep with Michelle Pfeiffer.
More to the point, The GOP debates are the only debates that won’t possibly involve Hillary.
I wonder if DNCBS will wheel out Bob Schieffer’s replacement? You know, that guy that advised Obama to destroy the Republicans.
He should have never been asked to moderate it in the first place. We never seem to learn from past mistakes.

Undocumented Democrats:
"WE back Stephanopoulos 100%.
We would never initiate IRS attacks against him."
What else has he lied about?
We need to absolutely demand, NO debates unless the demonrats submit themselves to at least ONE, moderated by any of the following; Hannity, Ted Baxter, Levin, Limbaugh, Coulter, et al.
Of course the GOP wants him to moderate,
Rinse is panicking frantically searching for replacements if he’s not still working to keep him on
GOP does not want majority not the White House nor to place people in the courts And they certainly don’t want some smart alecky conservative in there was ing the constitution
They have some great scam going on
They won the last midterm historically and put boehner McConnell in to pave way for Obama?
And they’re running bush? Who can’t face down a liberal coed? What’s he going to do with candy Crowley after he gets the nomination and the press turns on him full bore with all the hatred they have for his brother?
You think they’re stupid?
I don’t
No problem. They’ve probably already got John Dickerson lined up to moderate.
Joni Ernst set the example.
I wrote this a few years ago, its an excerpt from an essay titled:
“Gangster Government and Sakharovs Immunity”
And not only does the elite Mainstream Media ignore the story, thereby shielding the Obama administration from answering for Operation Fast and Furious or many other administration scandals, they actually take an active role in promulgating the latest messages put out by the Obama White House. One recent blatant example will suffice. Most viewers were bewildered at the Republican primary debate in New Hampshire on January 7, when moderator George Stephanopoulos of ABC News asked, and continued to ask, seemingly off-topic questions about the candidates views on, of all possible subjects, birth control.
We now understand that current White House War Room General Valerie Jarrett has been conducting weekly planning meetings with representatives from the hard-left Media Matters, for the purpose of delivering the latest administration talking points and strategic memes to their cooperating friends in the elite media and thereby to the public at large. Then lo and behold, the original Clinton White House War Room General George Stephanopoulos just happened to pick debate questions not about Operation Fast And Furious, but, of all things, the birth control meme that the Obama White House wanted to float, as a diversion from discussing the perilous state of the economy. And wildly successful it has been, this meme-making machine, at keeping the Republican candidates off-message and off-balance.
A horribly biased media that will not even investigate Operation Fast And Furious will certainly not investigate this grossly transparent act of political prostitution by journalist George Stephanopoulos. In graphic terms, this was not merely discreet political sex for a quiet off-camera payoff; this was naked, grunting copulation at high noon, on the public square. Even so, today almost nobody will say aloud what needs to be said: George Stephanopoulos has now proven himself a political whore of the lowest stripe, but even worse than that, he has shown himself to be a serving member in good standing of Gangster Government, Inc. And his colleagues in the elite liberal media establishment are fine with that, because they are also complicit, either knowingly or unknowingly.
George Stephanopoulos does the political bidding of Valerie Jarrett and Media Matters, making him a willing stooge and a critical cog in Gangster Government, Inc., thereby disgracing both his family name and the occupation of journalist. He will go down in history as a dishonorable scoundrel, who put his shared liberal political agendas ahead of any bare pretense at making an honest search for the truth concerning deadly scandals such as Operation Fast and Furious, which by objective measures is the worst political scandal of the modern era.

They run to the MSM/DNC-media like calves to a nipple. It’s utterly stupid, but luckily the liberals are freaking out and we’re getting the full-court press.
They are getting Noam Chomsky to replace him.
They are such emasculated, gay men. How much you wanna bet the GOP demands Stephanopoulous be returned to his moderator duties?
He was not going to moderate the debates before the revelation - so said the RNC.
