Carly Fiorina is charging Apple CEO With Hypocrisy

Tim Cook with hypocrisy for voicing opposition to Indiana’s new religious liberty law while quietly doing business with countries with abysmal gay rights records.

The former Hewlett-Packard CEO, who is reportedly mulling a bid for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination, took umbrage with Mr. Cook’s op-ed earlier this week in which he referred to the passage of religious liberty laws as “something very dangerous,” which allows “people to discriminate against their neighbors.”

Carly Fiorina is charging Apple CEO

Tim Cook with hypocrisy for voicing opposition to Indiana’s new religious liberty law while quietly doing business with countries with abysmal gay rights records.

The former Hewlett-Packard CEO, who is reportedly mulling a bid for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination, took umbrage with Mr. Cook’s op-ed earlier this week in which he referred to the passage of religious liberty laws as “something very dangerous,” which allows “people to discriminate against their neighbors.”

“When Tim Cook is upset about all the places that he does business because of the way they treat gays and women, he needs to withdraw from 90 percent of the markets that he’s in, including China and Saudi Arabia. But I don’t hear him being upset about that,” Mrs. Fiorina said, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday.

And the liberal pretzel logic has them eating their own.

They’re all hypocrites. They just don’t know it yet.

Carly is right. Shout it from the highest rooftops. She is smart to show courage and clarity of purpose here. I think others will soon follow her lead.

You mean you’re not allowed to discriminate against your neighbor? They should be allowed to enter your house without permission?

Sorry, but Carly believes, and supports, Marriage Equality.

She has zero credibility on this issue.

Republican presidential hopeful Carly Fiorina defends Indiana's "religious freedom" law, but she acknowledges the right of same-sex couples to demand equality in the "benefits" government bestows with marriage — views that distinguish her in the party's 2016 field.

Underneath the external show of "sharia law", Saudi arabia is a gay paradise. The culture is thoroughly gay. All the women are kept tied up in bags while the men are busy drilling for oil if you know what I mean.

A conflicted libertarian.

One thing seems clear to me, that our present government is a lousy steward for marriage even if it were kept “non gay.” The question might be better removed from government than to be done wrong, and it definitely was being done wrong with easier and easier divorces and other marital immorality.

He is a corporate welfarist. He wants to interfere to prevent small businesses from competing.

I would love all the red states to pass similar laws and not be intimidated by powerful Gays like the Apple CEO.

Then with over 30 states having such laws lets see how many righteous CEO’s want to lose operations in 3/5 th of the country.

I bet Apple’s CEO would face a shareholders fight.

Good point. The radicals were never the problem — ground was lost by the likes of Carly. Nonetheless, when the salvos are firing the other way, I’m pleased to benefit from it.

Is she right about the issue, or is she wrong?

The very substance of liberalism is power and control.

Why do you think leftards love commie figures like Stalin and Che?
