Audience Destroyed Romney in Debate

Obama clearly prepared for his Libya response. Romney makes a dumb mistake: Obama says he spoke in the Rose Garden after the attack and called it an act of terror. Romney says ‘no you didn’t.’ Obama says ‘get the transcript.’ Crowley says, ‘He did.’ The audience applauds Crowley live fact-checking Romney. Like, twice. They applaud twice. Romney stutters through the rest of his response, and it doesn’t matter what he says: He just got f**king destroyed. By the audience, basically.
