Carly Fiorina on Donald Trump: 'Women understood that comment'
CNN ^ | August 9, 2015 | Eric Bradner

Posted on 08/09/2015 9:42:33 AM PDT by maggief

(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."

(snip)

"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.

"I do think he’s the only wrecking ball out there that has a chance to derail the scripted path we are being given that leads to Jeb vs. Hillary or Bernie."

Great post.

any female politician that gets offended by remarks made by any opponent shouldn't be in the game. Put on your big girl panties and ignore ignorance or come up with a remark that will shut them down.. Lets not go boo hoo every time someone makes a stupid remark.

I know you don’t want to hear it, but Trump is an adult.

Okay, if you say so.

My version of adult doesn’t include a man who dumps a woman once she hits 30 to chase young tail.

“Young tail”?

Imagine if Trump had said that!

NO... we don’t live in your Kosmic fantasy bubble where the written word has to be in the print form because you can’t read cursive.

Oh, your insults strike so deep.

I will admit I am stunned by how close minded and blinded by Trump so many Freepers are. Guess we really don’t deserve better than that jackass.

I think Thatcher would have refused to discuss this topic and deftly moved on to more important matters.

Well it was bad. And I dumped him, not that it’s any of your business.

I guess it’s just your nature to make nasty comments to women. Must by why you like Trump so much:-)

What I like about Trump is he a bull in the Washington Cartels’ china shop.

I’m a supporter of Cruz who has showed the same kind courage, often alone, against the establishment long before Trump emerged on the scene.

Trump is a phony - an entertainer who likes the sound of his own voice. Not good for a leader.

Cruz is a statesman. Far better than “The Donald.”

There are hundred posts on Free Republic in the last hour touting Trump because “he got us talking about the right things”, or something.

It is empirically verifiable that Trump got the right wing talking about
Megyn Kelly, and not any substantive policy question. Inside the bubble here, it’s interpreted as some sort of media takedown. Outside this little bubble, it’s another episode in the history of cargo cults.

He’s a terrible candidate. Inarticulate, ham-handed, crude, no sense of time or place - and this all symbolizes some kind of newness, some kind of manliness.

It would be amusing if it were not headed for a mathematical brick wall. The suicides around here in 6 months will be a human hail fall.

What a nasty thing to say. I am very disappointed that women’s biology seems to be the center of discussion regarding a presidential race. Carly, as everyone else, is entitled to their opinion without insulting those you may not agree with. Doing so makes you no better than a liberal.
