Fiorina fires back at Trump: 'I'm proud of every wrinkle'
The Hill ^ | 9/12/2015 | Cory Bennett

Carly Fiorina on Friday addressed Donald Trump's remarks about her face, defiantly declaring she is "proud of every year and every wrinkle."

“Ladies, look at this face!” the Republican presidential hopeful said at the National Federation of Republican Women's annual conference, according to the Washington Post.

Fiorina’s rejoinder came in response to a comment her White House rival made in a Rolling Stone interview published Wednesday. “Look at that face,” said Trump, the GOP front-runner. “Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?!” Despite Trump’s insistence Thursday that he was “talking about persona,” many accused the real estate magnate of misogyny. The mostly-female audience laughed and cheered as Fiorina brushed aside Trump’s remarks. "This is the face of a 61-year-old woman,” she said. “I am proud of every year and every wrinkle.”

“I was waiting for this. It took awhile for Carly to figure out how to respond, though. Probably had to test it with a focus group.”

I’m hearing the delay is because she had to catch up with her good buddy, M. Kelly, who’s harder to catch on a weekend. On weekends Kelly has no producer to tell her what to do so she has to think of something on her own - that takes a little more time.

I’m told Carly runs everything about DT through her in the hopes it will have maximum impact with the feminazi and LGBTQ electorate. Nobody knows the LBGT folks roll like Megyn Kelly.

Or the Photoshop guy.

She does have that Italian look that can appear timeworn and rough under certain conditions, but that look can be seen on Mediterranean area descendants half her age.

Cara Sneed is her real name. She is married to a Fiorina. I don't think she is a descendant of Italians.

“Why is she even a contender?”

Because there are enough Republicans around that think ONLY A WOMAN will be able to attack Hillary.

And given the samples that Republican Elites always dump on us every 4 years, they are right.

But thankfully we have Trump this time,.

I was impressed with Carly’s clarity of speech the first few times I saw/heard her (including 1st debate). And I thought she was not bad looking at all. Then I learned more about her and started to lose interest in her as a candidate. During that time I saw her a few times on Foxnews and her makeup job was freaking scary. I was shocked. Perhaps Trump was reacting to the same clips of Carly when he gave his opinion.

No matter what, everyone who is “offended” by Trump’s comment without knowing what image of Carly he was reacting to is a poopyfaced judgmental hypocrate.

There are so many things to critique Carly on. She is somewhat of a lib I think. However, to make fun of her looks is silly and low minded... for a presidential candidate.

Trump claims he was really referring to her persona. Either way it is really a dumb comment by Trump, especially as you point out, there are so many things to criticize her on.

[[Thing is, Trump’s words were not that she was ugly.]]

Thing is he insinuated it- “With a face like that, blah blah blah”

No need to get nasty fella! My comment stands

Looks like someone got under Carly’s heavily Botoxed skin.

for crying out loud, I’m not insulting him- I’m simply stating a fact- he is not a good looking man- and shouldn’t be casting stones while living In a glass house- I didn’t make a petty insult and say that his looks should ban him from being president-

It was HIM who insulted the physical trait of Carly- Not I- it is NOT an insult to point out that someone isn’t beautiful- it is however an insult for someone to state “Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? “Can you imagine that, the face of our next president.”

That’s an insult!

“Who the hell cares what she looks like?”

What about when it’s Fiorina mocking other women’s looks?

Here’s video of Fiorina who couldn’t figure out she had an open microphone, as she proceeds to mock some other female politicians looks.

Watch Fiorian’s face in the video. It’s just classic!

If you took reading comprehension in junior high you should have picked up on my not agreeing with Trump insulting her looks. Now if you look you will see the /S after my insults about him, meaning he is not one to talk about looks.

No he didn’t. He did not insinuate her face was ugly. Point it out girl friend. Where did he insinuate her face was ugly?

And who cares anyway? LOL

oh goody, another not so veiled insult- I guess it’s ok to insult each other, but not to ‘insult’ candidates?

My reading comprehension is fine- I saw the sarcasm tag’ then I read your lecturing me about not insulting people (which I didn’t do- I simply pointed out he isn’t that great looking himself- that is a fact- not an insult-)

[[Now if you look you will see the /S after my insults about him, meaning he is not one to talk about looks.]]

That’s not how your response read- your sarcasm tag actually reads like you were chastising my comment by sarcastically pointing out the ‘ugly’ features of trump- then putting in a sarcasm tag afterwards- then the lecture to reinforce the sarcasm tag that we shouldn’t ‘make fun of’ others because that’s what ‘they do on DU’

My reading comprehension is fine- your two paragraphs made it seem like you were lecturing about not ‘doing what DU’ does (Even though I wasn’t)

Nope- not directly saying the word ‘ugly’- but close enough to mean exactly that-

“Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president.”

I guess he was complimenting her ‘stunning looks’ huh?
