OOPS: Fox Host Tries Showboating In The Debate — Gets ROASTED By The Candidates
Whenever the moderator becomes the story ... that moderator has failed at the job
Fox News debate moderator Dana Perino: “Which one of you on stage tonight should be voted off the island? Please use your marker to write your choice on the notepad in front of you. 15 seconds.”

Expectations for this debate were already pretty low.
And some of the questions about race and sex were full-on Kamala Harris/DNC talking points that had no business being asked to a GOP panel.
Ron DeSantis claps back at a moderator who says people are "still hurt" by Florida's curriculum on black history:
"That's a HOAX that was perpetrated by Kamala Harris!" pic.twitter.com/eX6nC0PBtd

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
But you might have expected Dana Perino to have a little more respect for the process — and the venue — than to make light of it by trying to it into an actual reality show.
One of DeSantis’s best moments came from putting Perino in her place. It’s the video at the top.
Voting off the island? Really, Dana?
Stop trying to be clever.
It isn’t about you.
Just ask the relevant questions and let the candidates have their say.
Dana has become a true dumba–s, She’s about as interesting as writing on a chalkboard on the five. Just one of the reasons we don’t watch corrupt Fox anymore. I like the gus on the five and our awesome Judge Jeanine, but it’s no longer enough to tune in. Dana chould join the “illustrious:” Geraldo & retire to a cooking show or something. Her question was so stupid…not policy oriented,not mature and certainly not what we would expect from a supposedly intelligent woman,,,eh, expected, her mentor was Geirge Bush! duh
Love you, Governor Desantis! We here in good old FL really would rather have you stay right here and continue doing the awesome job you are doing! You really are the best! Don’t leave us to the wolves! These moderators are so lame!
