Carly Fiorina publicly claimed on Sunday that neither she nor Hewlett-Packard should be faulted for the sales of millions of HP printers in Iran when such business was prohibited by U.S. law.
While making an appearance on Fox’s Fox News Sunday, Fiorina said that despite being the CEO of HP when the Iranian sales took place via a third party, she was unaware.
“First, HP, you need to remember, was larger than each of the 50 states,” Fiorina said, per a Bloomberg Politics report. “It’s a larger budget than any one of our 50 states, and a global enterprise. And so it’s impossible to ensure that nothing wrong ever happens. The question is what do you do when you find out.”
Fiorina added: “In fact, the SEC investigation proved that neither I nor anyone else in management knew about it.”
“Are you saying you didn’t know about it?” host Chris Wallace asked the clear-cut winner from the recent GOP debate.
“In fact, the SEC investigation proved that neither I nor anyone else in management knew about it…” she insisted, adding, “…when the company discovered this three years after I left, they cut off all ties. The SEC investigated very thoroughly and concluded that no one in management was aware.”
A 2008 Boston Globe investigation found that, while U.S. companies were banned from selling goods to Iran, an Indian company in Dubai called Redington Gulf had sold HP printers there. They sold them so well, in fact, that HP had 41 percent market share in Iran by 2007. Redington Gulf obtained the printers through a European subsidiary.
Wallace asked Fiorina why HP had named Redington Gulf its “Wholesaler of the Year” award in 2003 if the company wasn’t aware of its sales to Iran. She then directed the blame elsewhere.

She can tackle it all she wants, but the fact remains her record is poor, she is a failure, she gave misery to tens of thousands of people while she got millions.
She is a shrill for the establishment, Chamber of Commerce, and the media.
How anyone could even fall for her B/S is beyond me and if they do then it shows we have some idiots on our side too.
This golem is so bad she makes Willard look credible in comparison.
FTA: “First, HP, you need to remember, was larger than each of the 50 states,”
Explain why you should be in charge of the whole country? Which is as big as the 50 state COMBINED. Idiot.
Give her a few years and she’ll give Helen Thomas a run for her money.
So she was too stupid to know what was going on. How very Hillary Clinton of her.
The Hillary tape and praising Islamic accomplishments after 9-11
I doubt HP budget is bigger than all 50 States
Its not close.
I can’t diagram that sentence of hers.
“Give her a few years and she’ll give Helen Thomas a run for her money.”
That’s funny.
“NEW YORK — Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina said on The Tonight Show on Monday that she believes a Muslim shouldn’t be prevented from serving as president.
Fiorina’s comments came a day after fellow Republican candidate Ben Carson sparked controversy on NBC’s Meet the Press when he said that he does not believe a Muslim should hold the nation’s highest office.”
Agreed. If you are up for this sort of candidate Romney at least had some redeeming character traits. Her act is Clintonesque.
Yep.
HP had about 80,000 employee in 2000, California had about 5,000,000 million state workers in 2000. Fiorina is a liar.
