NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)Calling criticism of her misrepresentations about Planned Parenthood typical left-wing tactics, the Presidential candidate Carly Fiorina said, on Sunday, I will not be bullied into telling the truth.
Appearing on Fox News Sunday, the former Hewlett-Packard C.E.O. denied that spreading misinformation about Planned Parenthood was in any way incendiary, but added, What is truly incendiary is demanding that someone who is seeking the highest office in the land stop lying.
Fiorina noted that many of her rivals for the Republican nominationincluding Donald Trump, Ben Carson, and Ted Cruzhad successfully used lying as a key element of their campaign strategies. All I am trying to do is level the playing field, she said.
Additionally, she argued that she had not singled out Planned Parenthood as the subject of falsehoods during her campaign. Look at the things I have said about my tenure at Hewlett-Packard, she said. I have steadfastly avoided facts from day one.

The Repub race is boiling down to: Well they lied, I might as well lie, too.

(21,744 posts)Nobody pays any attention to anything she says anyway. You can tell that by her 4% ranking among her beloved Republican primary voters (this translates out to her being a true 1%er in the general population).
Just go back under your rock, Carly.
