At Debate, Carly Fiorina Described Scenes Not in Abortion Videos
Wall Street Journal ^ | September 17, 2015 | STEPHANIE ARMOUR

Posted on 09/17/2015 10:24:00 AM PDT by maggief

Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina won applause in Wednesday’s debate for her vivid description of a live fetus she said was shown in an undercover video about Planned Parenthood Federation of America.

But the image she described isn’t in the video. Instead, the video taken by an antiabortion group depicted a former employee of a tissue procurement company stating what she says she saw at a Planned Parenthood clinic. There was never any video that depicted, as Ms. Fiorina stated, a live fetus on a table.

Yes. She should have said ‘baby’.

What is actually in the videos is sick enough. She is just helping to undermine their credibility by fabricating additional scenes that are NOT in the videos.

I still say she is a sitting duck for Dem ads featuring her ex-employees.

Hope this is as effective as “hands up! Don’t shoot!”

Some of the personal comments about Carly Fiorino are almost as bad as PP activities. Why be so cruel. It turns my stomach.

The PP vs. anchor babies conundrum.

While sexually active American citizens abort their children for convenience; illegal SA immigrants have babies.

God must be using this format to replace the millions of innocent aborted lives, with children whose parents were seeking a better life for their progeny.

Just a random thought.

My take too. Also, even after her great speech on baby parts did she say that she would shut down the government? Way over rated. She proved how to get to the top in corporate america.... Push to the.front of the line and self promote. Her responses feel like a spankdown to a subordinate who knows that he has to take it or get fired

IMO her statements were too good to have been off the cuff. It’s almost as if she knew the questions and had ample time to prepare her responses before her TV appearance. Surely that didn’t happen. /s/

Here are some raw comments people are saying about Carly to Trump and amongst themselves on Twitter. I couldn’t get all of them...

@synonymoustohat @realDonaldTrump I liked her until she shut down communication & suggested arming ppl, that’s how we got ISIS

@MissEnji @realDonaldTrump I agree, her ideas were bad. But if anyone won the debate, it was Fiorina, definitely not Trump.

@synonymoustohat @realDonaldTrump Wiz if your going to comment please explain How she was? Did she cram before? Shes a clown like you,

@synonymoustohat @realDonaldTrump Fiorina did great in appearance, but lost in facts. Multiple fact-checking sites confirm this.

@synonymoustohat @realDonaldTrump you must like articulate speech makers like the one we have in the White House. I prefer a doer like Trump

@synonymoustohat @realDonaldTrump Fiorina is NOT PRESIDENTIAL at all. She needs to sit her ass down. She can’t run this country.

@synonymoustohat @realDonaldTrump She came off over-eager, emotionally vacant, and defensive.

@synonymoustohat @realDonaldTrump why did she call the IATOLLA Supreme leader. She drove her co to the ground. she was fired stocks go up

@synonymoustohat @realDonaldTrump She couldn’t get much worst...had only one way to go

@synonymoustohat @realDonaldTrump Fiorina cratered a co. and walkd away a multimillionairess. That takes a special kind of slime-and I’m fem

@synonymoustohat @realDonaldTrump I don’t trust someone who crashed a company to be running our economy

@synonymoustohat @realDonaldTrump dont agree, after last night i realize i dont like her at all

@synonymoustohat @realDonaldTrump disappointed he didn’t remind her of trashing Barbara Boxer’s hair 4 being ‘’so yesterday “

@synonymoustohat @realDonaldTrump Except for the time when Christie had to come to her rescue.

@synonymoustohat fiorina is always a good talker but bad CEO. She’s not real. Vote trump

“Everyone including Rush is pushing Carly today. I found her sickening.”

I recall when Trump announced his candidacy how Rush laughed and chuckled and essentially tried to make Trump out to be a clown (nobody says that now), and our for entertainment purposes; not to be taken seriously.

I’m sure that was to placate the GOPe. Apparently today his orders are to elevate Cara.

He, above all, knows she’s not presidential material. Disappointing.

I guess she snagged a lot of pro lifers with a very dramatic anti abortion message, but I found her false and annoying. She is a failed CEO. She might have been an ok senator if elected but I got my first good look at her last night and didn’t like or trust her.

I thought she was saying “you see” simply the way most of us would say it, that is, when this is described, you see this baby lying there and being kept alive to take its heart out (which is what they did).

Is somebody here trying to deny that this is what happens? Ann Coulter did say that she wouldn’t care if Donald Trump personally performed abortions in the White House (or was it the White House lawn?) as long as he got rid of her most hated immigrant group. So maybe this ridiculous attack on what Fiorina said is from some Trump/Coulter fans.

That is a shame. She must have memorized statements that somebody else wrote or she lied. It hurts her credibility, and pro-PP forces can point to it to argue that lies are used against them.

My problem with FioRino is not her stand on abortions. She is a good pro-lifer. My problems with her are:

Fiorina pushing Cap & Trade: (short video praising cap and trade)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bO6Bdt7mbVY&info=FiorinaSupportsCapTrade

Fiorina fully accepts the leftist theory of catastrophic global warming … without any reservations. But then she now says that we can’t achieve anything if we act alone. The fact of the matter is that if the Chicken Little theory is correct like Fiorina says, then we could do at least something by acting alone, and in fact in 2008 Fiorina herself advocated extreme unilateral (the US alone) action on climate change with her Cap & Trade scheme that would have cut CO2 emissions by 83% within 3 decades

FioRino was for Hillary before she is against her:

White House blasts GOP’s ‘fascination’ with Planned Parenthood

Sarah Ferris - 09/17/15 02:23 PM EDT

EXCERPT

Also on Wednesday, Earnest acknowledged for the first time that he had seen the videos, calling them “shocking.” He later pointed out that Planned Parenthood had apologized for what had been captured in the videos, which Earnest said Obama believes “was an appropriate thing for Planned Parenthood to do.”

If it’s misleading it’s like Obama’s 70 cents on the dollar misleading. He loves when you bring it up even if you are trying to refute it. As the refuting also reinforces the narrative.

So keep refuting it you baby part seller defending ghouls.
