Miss Universe mistake crowns Colombia before Philippines. Miss Universe host's mistake initially gives crown to Colombia, not Philippines. The Miss Universe contestant from the Philippines is this year's winner, but for one brief moment Sunday evening, it appeared as if it might be a repeat win for Colombia.

Colombia contestant Ariadna Gutierrez Arevalo was already wearing the crown as this year's Miss Universe winner when host Steve Harvey returned to apologize.

Harvey said it was his mistake and that he would take responsibility for not correctly reading the card, which said that contestant Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach of the Philippines was this year's winner and Colombia was actually the first runner-up.

He held up the card for Fox network cameras to see up close afterward. Talking with reporters afterward, Harvey and an executive for pageant owner WME-IMG called it human error.

"Nobody feels worse about this than me," he said.

A mystified Wurtzbach appeared stunned as she walked to the front of the stage alongside the crown-wearing Arevalo before last year's Miss Universe from Colombia removed the crown and placed it on Wurtzbach's head.

Wurtzbach later said she felt conflicting emotions as the mistake happened: joy when she was told she had indeed won, concern for Colombia contestant Ariadna Gutierrez Aravelo and confusion at the whole situation.

Wurtzbach said she tried to approach Aravelo onstage afterward but the Colombian was crying and surrounded by a crowd of women. She said she realized it was, "probably bad timing."

"I did not take the crown from her," Wurtzbach told reporters after the pageant concluded, saying she wished the contestant from Colombia well and hoped the Latin American community understands that "none of this was my fault."

"None of this was done on purpose. It was an honest mistake," she said, apologizing on behalf of the organization she now represents. She said Harvey told her afterward that she "should just enjoy the moment."

Harvey also apologized on Twitter, but at first misspelled the home countries of both contestants before also fixing that.

"I'd like to apologize wholeheartedly to Miss Colombia & Miss Philippines for my huge mistake," he wrote. "I feel terrible."

Harvey, who was hosting the contest for the first time, said he re-read the card and noticed it said "first runner-up" next to the Colombia contestant's name before he asked producers if he had made a mistake.

"I feel horrible for this young woman," he said after the pageant.

An executive with pageant owner WME-IMG, Mark Shapiro, said Harvey caught the mistake and corrected it on his own, saying he wanted to make a wrong into a right.

"It was humiliating for the women. It was humiliating for him," he told reporters after the pageant.

As all this was unfolding, a car drove up onto a sidewalk and struck dozens of people just outside the Planet Hollywood hotel-casino where the pageant was taking place. The Las Vegas Strip was soon jammed with ambulances and fire trucks, and authorities said 37 people were taken to a hospital to be treated for injuries and one person was killed.

Even before Sunday night's oops moment, the pageant was involved in another controversy when a backlash against the pageant's former owner Donald Trump led Univision to pull out of the broadcast and the businessman to sell it in September.

The competition started with women representing 80 countries between the ages of 19 and 27. For the first time, viewers at home weighed in, with their votes being tallied in addition to four in-person celebrity judges.

NBCUniversal and Donald Trump co-owned the Miss Universe Organization until earlier this year. The real-estate developer offended Hispanics in June when he made anti-immigrant remarks in announcing his Republican presidential run.

That led Spanish-language network Univision to pull out of the broadcast for what would have been the first of five years airing the pageants and NBC to cut business ties with Trump.

The former star of the "Celebrity Apprentice" reality show sued both companies, settling with NBC in September, which included buying the network's stake in the pageants.

That same month, Trump sold the organization that includes the Miss Universe, Miss USA and Miss Teen USA pageants to entertainment company WME-IMG.

Shortly after Sunday night's confusion, Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos tweeted a message on his official account to Ariadna Gutierrez. "For us, you will continue being miss universe! We are very proud!"

Philippines presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda didn't address the controversial win but said, "in bagging this victory, Ms. Wurtzbach not only serves as a tremendous source of pride for our people, but also holds up the banner of our women and of our country-as a true representative of what the Filipina can achieve."

It's the third time a contestant from the Philippines has won the title. It could have been the second win in a row for Colombia.

The pageant's contestant from the United States, Olivia Jordan, was named second runner-up. Associated Press writer Jim Gomez in Manila, Philippines, contributed to this report.


As the host of Sunday night's Miss Universe pageant, it was his duty to announce the 2015 winner (Miss Philippines). Not only did he crown the wrong woman and A-Town stomp on all of Miss Colombia's hopes and dreams, he also misspelled both countries (Philippians though, Rev?) in his initial apology tweet, which he then promptly deleted... but not before #SanctifiedTwitter got these jokes off.

Miss Psalms got it, bro.


Now, there's still a debate surrounding the controversy (Does Steve need eyeglasses?Was the teleprompter really wrong?) but in the end, it didn't even matter. Folks still let the choppa fly. Here are the best tweets from tonight's drag.

AP FACT CHECK: Clinton's video claim doesn't hold up. Hillary Clinton had no evidence to back up her claim in the latest Democratic presidential debate that the Islamic State group is using video of Donald Trump to recruit Muslims to its cause.

Here's a look at some of the claims in the debate Saturday night and how they compare with the facts:

CLINTON: "He is becoming ISIS's best recruiter. They are going to people showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists."

THE FACTS: What's true is that Trump's provocative comments about Muslims, including his call to ban them from coming to the U.S., have been widely played across the Middle East — in the hothouse of social media and beyond. Plenty of people — his Republican rivals among them — see his positions as playing into the hands of terrorists and raising the risk of radicalizing Muslims in the West as well as in the Middle East. It's also true that IS has a sophisticated propaganda operation and it can't be ruled out that the group has spread such videos under the Western radar.

But if so, Clinton doesn't know about them.

"If you go back and look at social media, if you look at what's going on, they are definitely pointing at Mr. Trump," her campaign chairman, John Podesta, said on NBC's "Meet the Press." But he cited no IS videos.

Sanders Supporters Ready For Bernie to Win IowaPlay videoSanders Supporters Ready For Bernie to Win Iowa
Palmieri said on ABC's "This Week," ''She didn't have a particular video in mind, but he is being used in social media."

When his claim about a video showing "thousands and thousands" of Muslims celebrating 9/11 was debunked weeks ago, Trump dug in his heels on the assertion about "plenty of people cheering." He repeated that position Sunday. Asked about IS recruitment videos, he told ABC: "She just made it up."

Clinton's statement that Trump is becoming the "top recruiter" for IS also is hard to square with the complex realities motivating its adherents.

Attackers connected to or inspired by IS often say their actions are in response to the airstrike campaign against Islamic State militants, whose focus is on Syria and Iraq. Shiite Muslims have been their primary target since the beginning and in their online videos, they often call out to their followers to attack infidels — Shiite Muslims in particular.

The Islamic State group is known by various names, ISIS and ISIL among them.

Bernie Sanders' Closing Statements at ABC News …Play videoBernie Sanders' Closing Statements at ABC News …
Sanders Campaign Suspends 2 More StaffersPlay videoSanders Campaign Suspends 2 More Staffers
BERNIE SANDERS: "The cost of college education is escalating a lot faster than the cost of inflation. There are a lot of factors involved in that. And that is that we have some colleges and universities that are spending a huge amount of money on fancy dormitories and on giant football stadiums."

CLINTON: "States have been disinvesting in higher education ... So states over a period of decades have put their money elsewhere; into prisons, into highways, into things other than higher education."

THE FACTS: Clinton comes closest to diagnosing the problem accurately. College expenses are unsustainably high, but luxurious dorms aren't the big driver that Sanders portrays. Public universities are charging more because they receive less in state government support.

Demos, a left-leaning think tank, said in a May study that the decline in state funding accounted for 79 percent of tuition hikes between 2001 and 2011. Just 6 percent was due to construction costs.

Sanders would make up that lost government money by providing free tuition, paid for with a tax on financial transactions. Clinton would offer federal dollars to encourage states to do more and keep students from having to borrow. It's unclear how either plan would control colleges' costs, though.
___

CLINTON on rising premiums and out-of-pocket costs for the privately insured after enactment of Obama's health care law: "I would certainly build on the successes of the Affordable Care Act and work to fix some of the glitches."

SANDERS on his proposed single-payer health care system: "The average middle-class family will be saving thousands of dollars a year."

THE FACTS: Obama's law was mainly about expanding coverage for the uninsured, and even former officials of his administration say major work still has to be done on cost control. In other words, rising costs are more than "glitches."

One of the health care law's main brakes on costs — a tax on high-value workplace coverage — has been put on hold by the new federal budget deal. Clinton had called for complete repeal of that levy, known as the Cadillac tax. Many economists believe the tax would help keep costs in check by forcing people into leaner insurance plans.

Sanders says his plan for a government-run health care system along the lines of Canada's and Western Europe's would save money for families and taxpayers. But such a major transition would involve winners and losers, as well as new taxes in place of premiums.

When the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office looked at the concept back in the early 1990s, it concluded that a single-payer system had the potential to save money but that wasn't guaranteed. Moreover, individuals would have less freedom to choose their insurance packages, a trade-off that not everyone would accept.

SANDERS, apologizing for his campaign improperly gaining access to Clinton campaign data, raised the possibility that Clinton's campaign may have done the same thing. "I am not convinced that information from our campaign may not have ended up in her campaign," he said.

THE FACTS: Sanders is speculating, at best. There's no evidence so far that Clinton's campaign has accessed Sanders' voter lists.

During a conference call with reporters on Friday, Clinton's campaign manager, Robby Mook, said he could "unequivocally tell you that no member of our staff stole data from theirs." And the contractor that manages the campaign data for the Democratic Party, NGP-VAN, issued a statement Friday saying "our team removed access to the affected data, and determined that only one campaign took actions that could possibly have led to it retaining data to which it should not have had access."
___

CLINTON: "Assad has killed 250,000 Syrians."

THE FACTS: Clinton appears to be blaming the entire estimated death toll of the Syrian civil war on just one side: the forces of Syrian President Bashar Assad. Yet no matter how vicious his forces have been, deaths have come at the hands of all sides in the nearly 5-year-old multifront civil war.

The Syrian conflict began with anti-government protests before spiraling into a war with many groups emerging in opposition to the brutal regime crackdown. Rebels in some of these groups are fighting and killing each other, in some cases with no involvement by Assad-backed troops.

The United Nations has estimated a death toll of 220,000 since 2011; other estimates are higher, and Clinton's figure is roughly in line with them. But the death toll is attributable to all parties, not just to Assad. Associated Press writers Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar and Josh Boak contributed to this report.

Trump says Hillary Clinton ‘lies like crazy’.
2-photos
Donald Trump called Hillary Clinton a “liar” Sunday for asserting ISIS is using him as a recruitment tool, and also bashed the Democratic front-runner for a prolonged bathroom break during last night’s debate.

“She couldn’t even get back on the stage. Nobody even knows what happened to her. It’s like she went home and went to sleep,” Trump, 69, said of the younger Clinton.

Trump, the billionaire businessman who has broken all the rules of political correctness, had long been questioning Clinton’s stamina to be president on the stump.

He found a new opening when Clinton took a break (presumably a bathroom stop) in the middle of the debate Saturday and ABC News returning from a commercial break with her empty podium.

Trump has riled the world for proposing a temporary ban on all Muslims from entering the US as way to stop terrorism. During Saturday’s Democratic primary debate, Clinton called Trump ISIS’s best recruitment tool and insisted the bloodthirsty jihadists were already using videos clips of Trump insulting Islam to entice more would-be jihadists, which fact-checkers have been unable to prove.

“It’s just another Hillary lie,” Trump told NBC’s “Meet the Press “She lies like crazy about everything. … She just made it up in thin air.”

But Trump said even if it were true, he wouldn’t soften his brazen statements.

“No, because I think that my words represent toughness and strength,” Trump said.

Clinton campaign chair John Podesta said the former Secretary of State stands by the statement that ISIS is using Trump’s statements to lure radicals.

“If you look at what’s going on in the Middle East, the fact that Mr. Trump is on television all the time, the fact that ISIS is using him as a recruitment tool I think a very fair charge. He is becoming a very important recruitment tool for ISIS,” Podesta said.

On ABC’s “This Week” moderator George Stephanopoulos challenged Trump for calling Clinton a liar when “fact checkers have called you out on more false statements than other any candidate.”

“Are you sure you want to go down that road?” Stephanopoulos asked.

“Oh, I’ll go down that road. And, you know, people maybe call me out, but they turn out to be wrong,” Trump said. He once against insisted thousands of Muslims were cheering the destruction of the World Trade Center on 9/11, where no video evidence had been produced to prove the assertion.

Trump also defended Russia’s Vladimir Putin by insisting he there’s no evidence Putin kills journalists who disagree with him. “I don’t see any proof.” Trump also downplayed Russia’s meddling in the Middle East to prop up adversarial regimes in Syria and Iran. “Don’t tell me about Iran being run by Putin. We run — we let Iran become — it’s a terror nation, and we let Iran become really powerful,” Trump said.

Sen. Bernie Sanders was exasperated by Trump’s statements.

“Nobody has seen a tape of thousands of people celebrating the destruction of the Twin Towers in New Jersey. It doesn’t exist. And he keeps claiming it. That’s called pathological lying,” the Democratic presidential candidate said on ABC’s “This Week.”

Sen. Marco Rubio said presidential rival Trump proposed his outlandish Muslim ban because he was being overshadowed by the deadly terrorists attacks.

“It was made for the purposes of recapturing the headlines,” the Florida Republican told CBS’s “Face the Nation. “I mean, Donald Trump has fallen out of the headlines, rightfully. Because we had the largest terrorist attack in American history since 9/11. He wanted to get back in the headlines. And he came up with something spectacular and outrageous so that people would respond to it, and he could recapture the headlines. It’s not a serious proposal.”

Meanwhile Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said even if Trump would become president, his Muslim ban wouldn’t make it pass congress.


“It would prevent the president of Afghanistan from coming to the United States. The King of Jordan couldn’t come to the United States,” McConnell told CNN’s State of the Union. “Obviously we are not going to do that.”

Democratic Party Defends Actions Over Data Breach as Bernie Sanders’s Campaign Suspends Two Aides.

The Democratic National Committee laid out a detailed timeline Saturday of what happened when Senator Bernie Sanders’s campaign aides gained access to and copied Hillary Clinton’s proprietary voter data during a technological glitch, revealing new details to explain why it had blocked Mr. Sanders’s team from seeing its own data.

The timeline was posted on Medium by the party committee’s chief executive, Amy Dacey, as the Sanders campaign continued to argue that it had been treated unfairly. The campaign took the extraordinary step of suing the party committee to regain its access to the voter file. Late Friday night, the party agreed to restore the campaign’s access.

During Saturday night’s debate, Mr. Sanders repeated his complaint that the punishment was unfair, but he also apologized to Mrs. Clinton. His campaign also said Saturday that it had suspended two aides over the matter. It had earlier fired its national data director.

At issue is a Democratic Party voter list to which both campaigns have access. Each campaign can add its own data, such as which voters it believes are likely to vote for its candidate, helping officials target their outreach. One campaign is not supposed to see another’s data, but for a few hours on Wednesday, a firewall between the campaigns was dropped while NGP VAN, the vendor that controls the 50-state voter file for the party committee, was adjusting a patch on the system.

While each campaign could theoretically look at the others’ data, only the Sanders campaign did so, according to NGP VAN. The Sanders campaign initially said a low-level staff member had been involved. It later emerged that the campaign’s national data director, Josh Uretsky, had obtained information from the Clinton team. Mr. Uretsky was fired.

Three other aides to the Sanders team were seen on audit logs making more than 25 targeted searches of Mrs. Clinton’s data pertaining to early-voting states.

The party then denied the Sanders campaign access to the voter file, including its own data, a move campaign officials described as an overreaction.

Ms. Dacey’s post included details that appeared to contradict the Sanders team’s early claims that it had not retained any of the information it looked at. Mr. Uretsky had also asserted that the only reason anyone from the Sanders campaign looked at Mrs. Clinton’s data was to establish proof of a data breach, not to peek into the Clinton campaign. But according to Ms. Dacey’s account, one of the people who looked at Mrs. Clinton’s data tried to delete records to remove traces of what he had done.

“The information obtained so far shows that the D.N.C.’s concern to have a full, thorough inquiry was fully justified,” Ms. Dacey wrote. “As confirmed by the Sanders campaign in the account given the D.N.C. Friday evening, one of the employees of the campaign involved in the misconduct tried to delete the notes they made recording their accessing of Clinton campaign data to hide his activities.”

Ms. Dacey added, “NGP VAN found that campaign staff on the Sanders campaign, including the campaign’s national data director, had accessed proprietary information about which voters were being targeted by the Clinton campaign —  and in doing so violated their agreements with the D.N.C.”

She continued, “These staffers then saved this information in their personal folders on the system, and over the course of the next day, we learned that at least one staffer appeared to have generated reports and exported them from the system.”

Ms. Dacey said that her team had asked Mr. Sanders’s campaign for more information on what had happened and for details of disciplinary actions it might take.

She said the Sanders campaign had delayed providing additional documentation and information until late Friday evening. Once it did, the D.N.C. restored the campaign’s access to its own voter file, “as was always our intention and as we had advised well before they sued the committee,” she said.


The D.N.C. has also asked NGP VAN to investigate how the breach happened.

Jeb Bush Is Very Relieved He's Losing the Primary to 'Jerk' Donald Trump
Jeb Bush Is Very Relieved He's Losing the Primary to 'Jerk' Donald Trump
Jeb Bush, the saddest sack of a man to ever run for public office, seems very relieved that he won’t ever be the President. In an interview with CBS’s Face the Nation, the other Bush said that not being the frontrunner made him feel “much better.”

Bush, who is currently 30 points behind frontrunner and lumpy bigot Donald Trump, admitted that he feels much more comfortable polling in fourth (or fifth, depending on the poll) among the Republican presidential candidates. “Yeah, I hated that,” he said of his early lead and the crushing expectation that he-0the so-called “grown up”—could win the nomination. “I feel much better back here … I’ve always thought that there was going to be a high expectation for me.”

Then Jeb went all existential, delving into his Freudian father issues: “I totally get it … because I have a brother that was president and a father that was president. And that higher expectation was important to realize. And so, being the frontrunner made me feel like the other guys [were] just dancing right through this.” But there’s no need to worry about sad Jeb Bush, he’s perfectly resigned to his destiny, “I feel good about where we are right now,” he said.

Apparently, sad rich guy is the hottest trend in losing a campaign. But, in the meantime, Bush is awkwardly going through the motions of campaigning, a treat for all of us. In a New Hampshire stop, Bush tried to fend off Trump’s labelling of him as “low energy.” “Donald Trump is a jerk,” Bush told the crowd. “I gave myself therapy there,” he added. Then he looked into the distance and fondly recalled the days when he—Jeb, governor of the worst state in America—was the favored son. Image via AP.

Donald Trump: No proof Putin has 'killed anybody'. Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Sunday appeared to defend Russian President Vladimir Putin against allegations he has ordered journalists and political rivals killed, as Trump's opponents stepped up their criticism of the warming Trump-Putin relationship.

Trump said it would be "despicable" for the Russian leader to kill journalists. "Yes, sure, there are allegations. I've read those allegations over the years, but nobody's proven that he's killed anybody as far as I'm concerned," Trump said on ABC's This Week.

Last week, Putin praised the real-estate magnate as "bright and talented" and "the absolute leader of the presidential race." Trump responded with warm words of his own, calling it "a great honor to be so nicely complimented."

Trump's rivals on Sunday criticized the developer for appearing to embrace the Russian leader's praise.

Former Florida governor Jeb Bush, who has intensified his criticism of Trump in recent days, called Putin "a dictator" and "a bully."

"We need a president that actually will stand up for American interests whether it's in Europe or the Middle East,"  Bush said on CBS' Face the Nation. "That's how you create a better relationship with Putin. You don't you brag about what a great guy he is. He's not."

Poll: Trump holds sizable leads in NH and SC; Cruz ahead in Iowa. Donald Trump enjoys a comfortable leads in the early voting states of New Hampshire and South Carolina, according to a CBS News Battleground Tracker poll released Sunday morning that also shows Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) holding the top spot in Iowa.

Trump has 32 percent support in New Hampshire, followed by Cruz with 14 percent, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) with 13 percent and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie with 11 percent. 
Christie had just 5 percent support in the Granite State last month, CBS noted.

Trump also holds a 15-point lead over Cruz in the early voting state of South Carolina, according to the poll.

Cruz holds a 9-point lead over Trump in Iowa, 40 to 31 percent, pollsters found. Rubio lands in third place with 12 percent. Evangelicals have boosted Cruz, the network said, as have former backers of Ben Carson, who has slipped to fourth place in Iowa with 6 percent.

Cruz easily tops Trump among respondents in Iowa who say “faith and religion” matters more than terrorism and the economy, CBS added. 

Among the Democratic field, front-runner Hillary Clinton maintains her hold on the top spot by 5 points in Iowa and 36 points in South Carolina while Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is the leader by 14 points in New Hampshire.

YouGov, an online polling firm, conducted a total of 3,812 interviews between December 13-17. The results have a 5.7 percent margin of error in New Hampshire, compared with 5.3 percent in Iowa and 5 percent in South Carolina.
