Stephanopoulos failed to confront McCain with controversial Coburn remark that Obama cited when questioned about Ayers
April 22, 2008 12:34 pm ET
SUMMARY: On This Week, Sen. John McCain asserted that Sen. Barack Obama's reference to Sen. Tom Coburn when Obama was asked about William Ayers was an "incredible statement" that "borders on outrageous." However, at no point during the exchange did George Stephanopoulos point out the actual comments Coburn made that elicited Obama's reference to Coburn, much less confront McCain with the issue of whether he agreed with Coburn's comments.
