Carly Fiorina: Trump ‘Wasn’t the Only Man I Faced Nastiness From’ While Campaigning in 2016

On Saturday, one-time Republican presidential hopeful Carly Fiorina talked about what it was like running against now-president Donald Trump during the last presidential primary.

“You memorably had some unpleasant exchanges with then-candidate Donald Trump,” CNN’s S.E. Cupp asked Fiorina who was there to talk about her new book. “You know he can be nasty. He can be tough. What’s your advice to any of the Democratic candidates — men and women — when it comes to running against him?”

“Let me just say in fairness — and yes I did face nastiness from Donald Trump — but frankly, he wasn’t the only man I faced nastiness from on the campaign trail,” Fiorina replied.

She then explained Trump was just a symptom of a bigger problem.

“The truth is that Donald Trump, in a way, reflects a culture that is still acceptable where you can say things about women’s appearance either positive or negative,” she explained. “We would expect a presidential candidate or a president of the United States would be held to a higher standard but he’s not the only man who has said irrelevant or demeaning or diminishing things about a woman’s appearance, positive or negative.”

So, being a squishy moderate DOESN'T still protect you when they want to come after you?

Girls are just as good at everything as boys, but boys shouldn’t be “nasty” to girls because it’s not fair!

She was incredibly annoying - there was good reason for Trump not to like her. If women want to get ahead in politics on the presidential level, they should start taking voice lessons as Margaret Thatcher did. I will not listen to a high-pitched voice, a screechy voice or a clenched-tongue voice (Ann Coulter, that means you!). I want a lower register voice and a calm demeanor. And then I still won’t vote for you.

Oh Carly... You mean like women did to Sarah Palin? Or as they do now with Melania?

You’re a vapid twit who destroyed HP.

I agree. Total loser who could not even muster enough support when she “tried” to run for president, now her only “infamy” is to take low shots at Trump...who trashed her rightfully.

Trash needs to be trashed. And Trump is the ultimate garbageman.

How could anybody be so disrespectful to Ted Cruz’s vice president?

She couldn’t even poll high enough to get in the first tier debates so the media “invited” her, hoping to take down Trump.

“The truth is that Donald Trump, in a way, reflects a culture that is still acceptable where you can say things about women’s appearance either positive or negative,” she explained.

Yeah. Far be it where we have to live in a society where men actually compliment a woman’s looks.

Luckily for her, Carly wouldn’t have that problem.

Men SEE women and judge them, women require data - often financial.

Them's the facts, discussion changes nothing.

I bet he’ll react to this.

Did Carly dish out zero “nastiness” when she was running? Or did she wait three years to start?

IIRC, there was a hell of a lot of nastiness to go around at the upper levels of HP when she was running the place, especially the last couple quarters.

Honestly, I am just so sick of all this fake outrage over every perceived hurt and insult under the sun that I could just puke.

For God's sake grow the hell up.
