(CNN)Carly Fiorina said Donald Trump's comments about Megyn Kelly "were completely inappropriate and offensive" and were clearly meant to imply the Fox News host's tough questions were a result of menstruation.
"Women understood that comment. And yes, it is offensive," Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard executive, said in an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper aired Sunday on "State of the Union."

"I started out as a secretary. And as I made my way up in the business world, a male-dominated business world, I've had lots of men imply that, um -- I was unfit for decision-making because maybe I was having my period. So I'll say it, OK?" Fiorina said.

She’s a hillary clone
I like a lot of what I heard from Carly so far, but her comments here turn me off. I don’t like how Obama makes everything about race and I have no desire in Carly making everything about gender. She may not do it.intentionally, however the MSM will make sure that every issue has a gender angle.
Trumps comment was stupid. Fiorina is right on this one,
Last week I took her to task for playing gender politics when she stated something to the effect we needed a new president, a woman president.
That set off warning bells for me, because Leftists are the ones who play the gender and race cards.
Some folks thought that was pretty unfair.
Now she’s playing the I’m her to defend women card, when there was nothing to defend them from.
Playing that card is Leftist.
Lying about the need for them to be defended is also a Leftist tactic. Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson have made living for decades off that very sort of thing.
Sorry Carly, you 15 minute got chopped to four...
Carly somehow thinks she will break out of the pack of also means by piling on and bowing to the altar of political correctness. Go figure.
Are you suggesting that Fiorina should be removed from consideration as a potential president merely because she believes a woman can think and act with the same clarity as a man?
She just called Trump a Liar, PERIOD.
Goodbye Carly...

EXCERPT
LEMON: Well, let's talk about Megyn Kelly because you brought her up. She did push you, pushed a lot of people, but what is it with you and Megyn Kelly?
TRUMP: Well, I just don't respect her as a journalist. I have no respect for her. I don't think she is very good. I think she is highly overrated. But when I came out there, you know, what am I doing? I'm not getting paid for this. I go out there and, you know, they start saying, lift up your arm if you are going to — and you know, I didn't know there would be 24 million people I figured. But I knew it was going to be a big crowd because I get big crowds. I get ratings. They call me the ratings machine.
So I have, you know, she gets out and she starts asking me all sorts of ridiculous questions, and you know, you can see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever, but she was, in my opinion, she was off base. And by the way, not in my opinion, in the opinion of hundreds of thousands of people on Twitter because it has been a brutal day.
In one way a great day for Fox and another day, in the twittersphere, it's been very bad because she has been very badly criticized.
LEMON: Let's take a look — let's take a look at...
TRUMP: Hey, she is a lightweight. I couldn't care less about her. In fact, you are competing against her and I am doing your show. That's interesting.
LEMON: So, well, let's take a look at some of that because you have been tweeting and retweeting some pretty harsh language, Mr. Trump. So let's go through some of them.
[21:05:00] You said, Wow,@megynkelly really bombed tonight. People are going wild on Twitter. Funny to watch. Then you you retweeted someone who wrote Fox viewers give low marks to bimbo@megyn kelly will consider other programs. And then one of your top aides retweeted this, Mr. Trump, boycotting megynkelly@realdonaldtrump.. We can gut her.
A lot of people are wondering about this language when it comes to women. Do you worry that that kind of talk might drive some women voters away?
TRUMP: Well, I didn't see the last one. But she's able to take care of herself. She is somebody that's ,you know, pretty tough and I am sure she can take care of herself. But, you know she is just somebody I don't have a lot of respect for. I don't think she's got major talent. I don't think she's got very much talent at all.
I mean, she's sitting there, reading questions. She rehearsed for it for a long time and, you know, I am also not a fan of, you know, the great Mike Wallace was a friend of mine. In fact he did me on “60 Minutes”, it was phenomenal, he was phenomenal “60 Minutes”. But he was a friend of mine. He tough cookie and he was great.
And the son is only a tiny fraction of Mike believe me. There's a big difference between Mike Wallace and Chris Wallace because I watched them last night, you know, blood pouring out of his eyes too. And I said to myself “What am I doing?” I'm here for all these people. I am doing Fox a favor by doing this show and what am I doing?
Dude.
You said ‘PERIOD’.
You sexist jerk! /s
See post #31 for full context.
I understand that you got your opportunity and are now so radioactive that nobody else has picked you up as a CEO. I understand too what opportunism is, and how witch hunts can figure in.
Furthermore, I understand that no-one, be they named Megyn Kelly or Chris Wallace, is going to have a menstrual cycle through their eyeballs. People have been known to “have murder in their eyes” or “be out for blood” and I’d say both those things were true of moderators at that debate!
Go home Carly.
Not at all. I was impressed with her initially.
She’s now using the female card similar to the race card.
I believe women can be leaders, but not if they want to be seen as victims.
This idiot has destroyed her political chances, just as she destroyed Hewlett-Packard.
Stick a fork in her.
She’s DONE!
She’s playing the vagina card, she’s now removed herself from further consideration.
Yep, she’s going to have to find another company to ruin.
