Carly Fiorina’s bogus ‘secretary to CEO’ career trajectory (Fact Checker biography)
Washington Post ^ | 9/25/15 | Michelle Ye Hee Lee

Posted on 09/25/2015 4:40:01 AM PDT by jimbo123

Editor’s Note: Every candidate running for president likes to highlight certain aspects of his or her biography. This is an occasional series taking a deeper look at 2016 candidates’ claims about their personal, professional or political record. We welcome suggestions for future fact checks, which we ultimately will compile as a collection. See our complete Scott Walker biography collection here.

“I started as a secretary, typing and filing for a nine-person real estate firm. It’s only in this country that you can go from being a secretary to chief executive of the largest tech company in the world, and run for president of the United States. It’s only possible here.”

— Business executive Carly Fiorina (R), interview on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” Sept. 21, 2015

“My story, from secretary to CEO, is only possible in this nation, and proves that everyone of us has potential.”

— Fiorina, second GOP debate, Sept. 16, 2015

“A self-made woman, she started her business career as a secretary and went on to become the first, and to date, the only woman to lead a Fortune 20 company.”

— Fiorina’s biography on her 2010 campaign Web site for U.S. Senate seat in California

FWIW: TheConservativeTreehouse exposes that September 2001 was not the only time Fiorina gloriously spoke of resplendent Islam. Carly Fiorina, “Gaslighting”, Islam, Her Relationship To Clinton Global Initiative, and Progressive Agenda…
"Please read the entire speech and pay close attention to the closing paragraphs. What you will note is an almost eerie similarity to current Secretary of State John Kerry vis-a-vis the “Jobs for Jihad” program he, and his globalist co-horts, have been advocating for the past three years. Read everything written by Fiorina and then reference/remember the words used by State Department Spokesperson Marie Harf – they are almost identical. Next example – look at the following reception by Professor Al-Hassani, the Chairman of FSTC, at the conference “La Deuda Olvidada de Occidente he is responding to the speech of Carly Fiorina and the intended audience in the Mid-East [snip] Professor Al-Hassani was rejoicing that Carly Fiorina was asserting without Islam there would be no U.S.A., no America, no exceptionalism. This is the exact approach of the U.S. State Department, Charles Rivkin Project, we originally exposed in 2012.

There’s some gold in that report. I reckon most don’t read past the first few pages like the majority of Americans.

And she did not belong in the second debate based on the original rules. Rules are not for carly though.

And that ultimately put Walker out of the race.

Not much different than saying you went from dishwasher to CEO because you had a job washing dishes in college.

Ironically, I did have a job in college, not washing dishes but drying them. Another year I had a job mopping floors and scrubbing toilets.

But then I'm not running for President, so it doesn't matter.

Snarly is on Hannity this afternoon.

She is downright irritating. She may even be more unlikable than hillarity.... I didn’t think that was possible.

I think it’s more because a female candidate destroys their war on women/Hillary would be a historical candidate narrative.
