Following the release of the second Planned Parenthood undercover video last week, Presidential hopeful Carly Fiorina joined Jake Tapper on The Lead.
Tapper asked Fiorina to define her position on Governor Walker’s recent bill that prohibits abortions after twenty weeks and makes no exclusions for instances of rape and incest.
Rather than taking the let’s connect Fiorina to what the left believes is an extremist pro-life position bait, Fiorina directed attention to a bill bouncing around the Senate floor, “let’s talk about the legislation that’s sitting on the Senate floor right now which does allow for those exceptions,” she responded.

Tapper interrupted, attempting yet again to pin Fiorina to Walker’s bill. Fiorina would have no part of it and kept talking.
“Let’s also talk about Hillary Clinton’s position. Let’s talk about what extreme is. It’s not a life until it leaves the hospital, that’s Hillary Clinton’s position. It’s Hillary Clinton’s position that a 13-year-old girl needs her mother’s permission to go to a tanning salon or get a tattoo, but not to get an abortion. It’s Hillary Clinton’s position that women should not be permitted to look at an ultrasound before an abortion, and yet people who are trying to harvest body parts can use an ultrasound to make sure that those body parts are preserved so they can be sold. That Jake, is extreme.”
“I would really be delighted if for once, the media would ask Hillary Clinton about the extremism of her position.”
It seems fair to me. If the media is allowed to have their talking points, we should have the same luxury. Fiorina exemplifies the art of gracefully bucking a predetermined narrative while simultaneously making her own points.
Ping.
I like her too. Don’t know why she’s not getting more press from Fox
“Rubio is no slouch either.”
Unfortunately, while his “steak has sizzle,” his message doesn’t pass the sniff test.
Don’t know why she’s not getting more press from Fox —
Because she is more like Trump and Cruz than Fox likes.
“Cruz, AG
Fiorina VP
Palin Secy of Energy or Interior... “
That would surely work!! Somehow, we have to find a way to tap these people’s intellect and values in the next administration.
Always ask the liberal if they’d support a law that limited abortion to cases of rape or incest.
Put THEM in the box, don’t let them put you in one.
Carly is very good.
I think she will win it all.
Trump will exit if she takes the lead, and I think she will take the lead if she gets in the debates.
Rubio is not eligible. Neither is Jindal, Cruz or that nasty hag from South Carolina.
“It is starting to look like Carly is maybe one of the smarter folks in this scrum.”
She’s the smartest one of the bunch. She’s Trump without all the bluster. She would make an excellent president, but as is always the case, the person who should be president by reason of their ability isn’t likely to make the grade with the idiots who call themselves voters in this country. Ronald Reagan was the sole president who went against this trend.
I really like this lady. I sure wish she would have beat that hag Boxer. She also has much more energy this time. She was either having or just finished chemotherapy during that race.
What they should also say is, “I’m against rape, Jake, and those that commit it. The democrats always coddle criminals but I think Rapists should be locked up for life and not let out for good behavior after 5 years like Hillary Clinton advocates.”
SLAM!

Fiorina believes in abortion in rape and incest. Tapper let her tape dance around the answer.
