Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina attacked "the left and their allies in the media" for a critical report released Monday that says her 2010 California Senate campaign mismanaged money and failed to pay vendors for their work.
More than four years after the failed campaign, Fiorina still owed nearly half a million dollars to 30 entities. She didn't pay off her debt until January of 2015, just a few months before she launched her presidential bid.
One of the outstanding payments due was to her political strategist Joe Shumate who died one month before Election Day as first reported by the Washington Post.
"We projected that there would be debt, and figured we would deal with it after the election," Martin Wilson, Fiorina's former campaign manager, told NBC News.
But Martin added that Fiorina was very slow in dealing with it. "We had suggested several remedies to Carly after the election to discharge the debt. She just couldn't really focus on it, I guess," he said.

How Carly Fiorina Screwed Her Campaign Staffand Paid Herself First

She couldn’t manage to pay her debts for four years, even though she got a golden parachute severance check from H-P for $21 million and had the money. That doesn’t show much respect and concern for the Middle Class, Carly.
Carly’s Free Arena Show didn’t last too long nor did her ‘surge’. She’s not presidential-—go away Carly.
Not very nice or respectful toward those who helped her and likely needed their rightful payments. I know I would have been furious and I would have wanted and demanded reasonable interest.
Losers expecting honesty from an evil witch.
This woman is a mess.
Carly received multi-multi-millions from HP when she was forced out. How ironic that she didn't immediately from personal funds pay private vendors who she hired to support her campaign.
Double standard?
More people who will be lining up to swiftboat her if she becomes the nominee
“She just couldn’t really focus on it, I guess,”
Not very presidential. Oh, wait, maybe it is...
