Fiorina will just not give it up!

Put up, or STFU, Carly!

Honestly, I think she'll be the next to drop out.

NBC's Chuck Todd Presses Carly Fiorina To Concede That She Is Wrong About Planned Parenthood Video

Todd: "There Is No Evidence That The Scene You Describe Exists. Are You Willing Now To Concede That You Exaggerated That Scene?"

CHUCK TODD: Let me start right in with the Planned Parenthood situation. At the debate -- the most recent debate -- you described the following scene, claiming it was on a tape: "A fully formed fetus on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking, while someone says we have to keep it alive to harvest its brain." Since then, when asked about the claim, your campaign has attacked Planned Parenthood, but there is no tapes, there is no evidence that the scene you describe exists. Are you willing now to concede that you exaggerated that scene?

CARLY FIORINA: No, not at all. That scene absolutely does exist, and that voice saying what I said they were saying, we're going to keep it alive to harvest its brain, exists as well. Here's the thing. Yesterday, I was at a football game-

“They're trying to distract the American people from the hideous reality that Planned Parenthood is aborting fetuses alive to harvest their brains and other body parts. That is a fact.”


No, no that isn't a fact.

So either this person doesn't know what a fact is, thinks no one else does, or does not care whether people can see she's lying.

she's hoping voters will forget she was a shitty CEO at HP. How shitty. Shitty enough to pay her over $20 Million just to fucking LEAVE. Chuck Todd should have pressed her more on why she hasn't been a CEO since. She said she got many offers. He should have said "Who from?" Seriously, I would love to know. But I think that's as big a lie as the lie about Planned Parenthood.

I could not concentrate on what Carly was saying because her make-up distracted me. Way too much color and shine. She looked better at the debate on CNN where Trump said she had an ugly face.

The harm she is doing to women by spreading these lies & misinformation is incalculable.

Kudos to Chuck Todd for calling her out on it. I would not have thought he would be one who would.

"Produce the footage, until then we will dismiss this statement and everything else you say". Since you would make up something this explosive and continue the meme despite the fact that everyone knows it's a lie disqualifies everything you say. Period!

If you can't produce it, you are a liar.

Clearly she'll say and do anything to become President.
