Title: Chris Wallace’s questions to Rick Santorum raise conservative eyebrows Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on October 10, 2011, 05:44:54 PM http://dailycaller.com/2011/10/10/conservatives-chris-wallace-asked-rick-santorum-a-gotcha-question/
Quote There he goes again. First, he apologized for asking Michele Bachmann if she was a “flake” — then he was scolded during a GOP debate by Newt Gingrich for asking “gotcha” questions. Now, some conservative leaders aren’t happy with Chris Wallace’s line of questioning to former Sen. Rick Santorum. During a “Fox News Sunday” interview this week, Wallace asked Santorum to comment on a 1940′s-era quote by E.R. Householder — a military Colonel who opposed racial integration in the military. But Wallace didn’t reveal the source of the quote until after soliciting a response (Santorum was presumably led to believe they were still discussing the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy). This led some conservatives to cry foul. “That was one of the most unfair ‘gotcha’ questions I’ve ever seen,” said Elaine Donnelly, the president of the conservative Center for Military Readiness. |
