CNN recently asked the members of the audience for this evening’s “undercard” debate to take their seats, and managed to find “Nancy Reagan” already there at the presidential library named for her husband, uncharacteristically out of her wheelchair.
CNN showing shots of Nancy Reagan, at 94 years old, already seated at #GOPDebate.

and CNN apologizes to unidentified woman who may or may not be 94 but apparently is NOT Nancy Reagan in audience at #GOPDebate #CNNDebate.

CNN's @wolfblitzer apologizing for saying Nancy Reagan is at the GOP debate. Slow down, Wolfie! We're waiting for the train wreck.

CNN just held a shot of some random woman at the debate while repeatedly saying "Look at Nancy Reagan! She's 94! 94!"
It wasn't her.

CNN going on about Nancy Reagan as she's seated in the hall. Except apparently it wasn't Nancy Reagan. Where's Rick Perry when you need him?

.@CNN misidentifies woman as #NancyReagan. Somewhere Nancy Reagan is saying, "I'd never wear that green sweater."

Excellent point:
If CNN can't find a plane, what makes you think they can find Nancy Reagan? https://t.co/7h7p7rzByP
