Stephanopoulos Recuses Himself From GOP Debate
breitbart.com ^ | 5/14/15 | John Nolte

Posted on 05/14/2015 3:59:08 PM PDT by cotton1706

In frantic damage control mode, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos ran to the safe zone of the left-wing Politico to announce the he will recuse himself from ABC’s February GOP debate in New Hampshire. He also admitted that the total amount he contributed to the Clinton Foundation was a whopping $75,000, not the $50,000, as originally reported.

The chief anchor and political correspondent at ABC News now admits he should never have donated money to the Clinton Foundation, and that he should have disclosed his donations to ABC News viewers.

As of now, probably as they gauge the fallout, ABC News stands by Stephanopoulos. He told Politico he intends to go back to business as usual, co-anchoring “Good Morning America” and hosting the Sunday news show ‘This Week.”

Stephanopoulos also said he would continue to cover the 2016 presidential election.

The seediness of everyone’s behavior in this matter — Stephanopoulos and ABC News — goes way beyond what unraveled the career of NBC News anchor Brian Williams.

Nothing to see here, move along. LibMedia has never been, nor will they ever be, objective investigative reporters.

When is a debate going to be moderated by a GOP person? Even a GOPe person? Or a neutral person?

These debates that are moderated by progressives, with the entire production crew progressives too, are tiresome.

but what good does it do if he is allowed such a voice on national tv still?

do you think the average American is going to read that he donated the equivalent of one year's salary for most to the dems.

they are too busy playing candy crush.

The bigger question is...

Why the H@!! is ABC etc having anything to do with a GOP or E-GOP debate after the stewping they gave us in 2012?

Why aren't we on SPAN / Beck / PBS Only with a dais of Nothing but intelligent Right of Center questioners? ( aka Prager, Hewitt, Goldberg etc etc etc )

Pribus you should be fired!!!!

A man so incompetent he was replaced by Dee Dee Myers (who was arrested for DWI and constantly lied to the press). And yet, the media pays him 10s of Millions of Dollars per year.

What does this tell us of the state of the media? They are liars, incompetent, addicts, and cannot be trusted.

“Stephanopoulos also said he would continue to cover the 2016 presidential election. “

12 months from now, abc: ‘Well...we changed our minds now...the people want George’
abc exec: ‘George is sorry, he is going to be good now’

abc exec in private: ‘The filthy masses are stupid, they can’t remember anything beyond a week, tell them anything and then just ignore them.’

Stephanopoulos Recuses Himself From GOP Debate

"Recuse Himself", my azz. No GOP presidential candidate with half an ounce of brains would agree to a debate with this weasel as moderator.

No candidate should ever go on his show. What a lying scumbag, but we already knew that. He should resign for the obvious connection to Hillary after he viciously went after the author of the Clinton Family Laundry book.

Pray America is waking

By hiring a former White House spokesman and paying him millions in salary they are gave every future White House spokesman reason to hope for the same, thus assuring ABC news close access to the White House and lots of juicy leaks.

Why would the Republicans consent to use him anyway?

Could we not at least pick a neutral party?
