So says you. Lori's own (REAL) mother says otherwise.
That's not how I remember it. Lori was MY daughter and I grieve her every day.
Oh, and then there's this:
Frank Fiorina had two daughters, Traci and Lori Ann, from his first marriage. Their mother, Patricia, was awarded custody of the two, following the divorce.
So no, Carly the Climber was NOT Lori's "real" mom.
Carly is mentioning the fight against drug addiction, not necessarily the war on drugs.
According to Todd Bartlem, there is nothing surprising in Carly's tendency to place herself at the front and center of every narrative.
'She is pathologically narcissistic and all she cares about is her,' he said. 'Nothing holds together with her.
'I got kind of suspicious of her towards the end of the marriage because she had no old friends. She had nobody that she knew in the past, and I thought, "God that's kind of weird."'
Today Bartlem believes the reason lies in Carly's 'modus operandi' of 'dropping people' as soon as they have fulfilled their useful purpose in her life. Certainly it's what he believes happened to him.
'I had no utility and that's what the judgment was,' he said. 'If you aren't useful to her, your time is over. She learned that in business school. I was heartbroken. It was brutal.'
Me talking: I believe Fiorina used her adult step-daughter's death as a political prop. To convey clout on the subject. To garner sympathy. To score political points. To stop the discussion. Who can argue with her after that? Who's gonna have the balls? SHE buried HER daughter.
I knew at the time of the debate it was her step-daughter, but I didn't know her step daughter's death was from legal drugs. And she didn't BURY her. She was an ADULT step-daughter. It sounds like the daughter was primarily raised by her biological mom. The step-daughter was married. CF did not bury her. She left out some of this because it wasn't convenient for her narrative. It wouldn't have gotten her as many points if she gave the full picture.
So I guess because of her personal anecdote we can now stop the discussion about marijuana, state's rights, and the WAR on drugs at large. This is a tactic the left uses all the time to shut down debate. I don't like it when they do it. I don't like when "our side" does it.
Geeze louise, after so many years, maybe she saw her as her child too, regardless of whether she was the real mom.
