What really disturbed me about Carly in the debate was her trying to grab sympathy for having “buried a child to drug addiction.”
This is a gross deception. The “child” was Lori Fiorino, her step-daughter. The girl lived full-time with her mother after her parents divorce when she was ten. I’m sure Carly did forge a relationship with her step-daughter, but she did NOT raise the girl.
Second, the step-daughter died when she was 34 or 35 from alcohol and prescription drug abuse. Of course, it was a tragedy, but that was not the impression Carly was creating.
Carly’s claim that she “buried a child to drug addiction” creates the false impression that her own child died from illegal drugs in high school or college. This was a blatant attempt at manipulation with misleading statements. I cannot respect her for taking us for fools.
A more accurate claim would be “I buried my stepchild, my husband Frank’s daughter, to drug addiction, when she was in her thirties.”
But that would not have had the effect she wanted. She really showed a lack of respect for both Lori and her bio-mother.
