Fiorina: Women "horrified" by Trump's Megyn Kelly comments

Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina criticized Donald Trump's comments about cable news host Megyn Kelly, saying in a "Face the Nation" interview that women "are really sort of horrified" by the remarks.

22 PHOTOS GOP debate 2015 "Presidential campaigns are designed to reveal character under pressure and over time," Fiorina told "Face the Nation" moderator John Dickerson. "It's why people like you ask tough questions, and it's up to candidates to answer those questions. So Mr. Trump got asked tough questions by a lot of people on Thursday night, but he chose to attack Megyn Kelly."

The billionaire businessman came under fire Friday after he called Fox News' Kelly a "lightweight" and told CNN that Kelly was so angry "there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever." Kelly drew his ire after she posed a debate question Thursday to Trump about the various insults he had lobbed at women in the past.

"I think women of all kinds are really sort of horrified by this," Fiorina said. "Just like I think, by the way, women of virtually all kinds are horrified by the Planned Parenthood videos. I mean, there are certain things that cut across political boundaries. And I think those are two examples of things that are cutting across political boundaries."

28 PHOTOS Donald Trump Conservatives pounced on Trump after his insinuation that Kelly had been angrily hormonal at the debate. Several Republican contenders for the White House chastised the real estate magnate over his comments while right-leaning commentator Erick Erickson went so far as to withdraw Trump's invitation for his RedState gathering in Atlanta.

Fiorina, who is the only woman in the Republican field, defended Kelly on Twitter Friday and directed a message to Trump that there was no excuse for his behavior. She was not on stage with Trump as her low polling numbers landed her in the earlier GOP debate Thursday afternoon.

She also said a "thin-skinned" candidate would not be acceptable in the White House.

"I think you cannot have a president who is thin-skinned," the former tech executive said. "If you think a question is tough, imagine the pressure of actually being in the Oval Office. And that's why I think, as crazy as this presidential campaign process is, it does in fact give voters a window into how people respond under pressure, over time."

You can watch the full interview with Fiorina at 10:30 a.m. ET on Sunday, August 9, 2015 on "Face the Nation."

That's one way to keep a sinking campaign above water. Use vaginas as flxotation devices.

Ms. Fiorina. Next time a reporter asks, please tell them, “I’ve commented on this extensively, and now it’s time to move on.”

Reflexive vagina.

Perfect Quote: Fiorina might as well have come from the Hitlary camp with her whoreification.

I am not horrified at all. I do not associate blood coming out of eyes with periods. He was talking about a person being a ghoul. He wasn’t talking about monthly cycles of women.

Interesting that the only thing CBSNews.com reports on that Fiorina said during the interview was her response to a question about The Donald.

CBSNews and Defecate on the Nation don't give a flying fig about what Carly Fiorina thinks about anything else.

I’m horrified by hysteria and witch hunts targeting outsider candidates like Donald Trump. It’s not too often that a strong rich man like Donald Trump is subjected to these tactics, far more often the target/victim is some poor isolated woman, thus the name “witch hunt”!

Go soak your head, Carly!

Democratic Party must be laughing this morning.

Republicans can’t stop criticising themselves over nothing.

This is playing right into the Democrats’ hands.

Laughing, I tell you.

Women want the same opportunities, pay, and outcomes as men, but also the ability to play the offended victim / delicate hothouse flower when it suits their purposes. Man up, ladies, or go back to being real women, with all the unique advantages. Leave being manly to men.

Feminist Nazi

Not to be confused with feminist, which pertains to legitimate forms of academic enquiry or helpful ways of seeing the world (ie. equal rights feminist). A Feminist Nazi is a woman who is overly uptight about supposedly “misogynistic” remarks or gestures, and will go out of her brazen way to let the world know. This is usually a manifestation of a deep insecurity about her gender or her own identity in particular. For instance, whereas it is typical for amiable compatriots to use the whole gamut of slang words proffered by the English language in an endearing manner or even in situations of conflict (ie. “quit being such a bitch sis!!!” “Quit being such a dick bro!!”) the Feminist Nazi will make it her personal calling to “deconstruct” the meaning of these phrases and attempt to expose their origins in the near-inherently oppressive nature of the male psyche.

The Feminist Nazi should not be invited to parties or to outings where groups of people are able to speak confidently and sarcastically with no other reward than a good laugh. She will piss both men and women off, equally.

The GOPEs and the Rats are really frantic, scraping the bottom of the barrel. They can feel it slipping away. If one of these cobbled up attacks doesn’t get some traction they’re going to LOSE....and the people are going to WIN!
