Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina won applause in Wednesday’s debate for her vivid description of a live fetus she said was shown in an undercover video about Planned Parenthood Federation of America.
But the image she described isn’t in the video. Instead, the video taken by an antiabortion group depicted a former employee of a tissue procurement company stating what she says she saw at a Planned Parenthood clinic. There was never any video that depicted, as Ms. Fiorina stated, a live fetus on a table.

She lied?! Oh, that’s inconvenient.
So they are saying this doesn’t happen?
What a lame complaint.
Everyone including Rush is pushing Carly today. I found her sickening.

Fact-checkers deem Carly Fiorina’s biggest applause line of the night ‘misleading’
could it have been done to DISCREDIT the rest of the videos?
“They” are saying it is misleading. Ultimately, it dilutes the argument.
Big deal, she described something that, while not on the video, is undoubtedly happen in real life. I give her a huge pass on this one.
so what?
“could it have been done to DISCREDIT the rest of the videos?”
That seems to be the outcome.
It doesn't matter, because no liberal would dare watch any of those videos to find out for themselves. Also, she's pro-life, which means she can't possibly win any race at all in today's America.
Fiorina is an angry, bitter woman with a history of failure. She knows she didn’t earn her affirmative action rise through the ranks, and has a desperate need to prove her strength. She is dangerous.
BTW — a “live fetus” is a child.
perhaps this is akin to the sort of tactics that so endeared her to HP?

“A real, live example, which I’ve been hearing a lot about from women: There are many health insurance plans that will cover Viagra but won’t cover birth-control medication. Those women would like a choice,” Fiorina told reporters at a breakfast talk Monday hosted by the Christian Science Monitor, adding, “Those women would like a choice.”
Oh! That makes it all different. Carly not being totally accurate nullifies anything the abortion videos show.
How stupid! Really stupid.
She was describing what the worker described.
WARNING: This video contains graphic imagery of an aborted child and descriptions of harvesting a brain from a male baby whose heart was beating. It also shows a baby born alive at the same age as the baby whose face and head was cut open to harvest the brain.
(There is no video of a baby getting its face cut off, to get to its brain, only the ex-employee describing the event)
I agree.
I agree.
