TYT: Carly Fiorina Nabs Random Kids For Anti-Abortion Speech



Carly Fiorina is apparently having some problems finding consensual humans to be used as props at her events. While at the Botanical Gardens in Des Moines, Iowa she found some preschoolers to sit on stage with her. John Iadarola (ThinkTank), Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show Podcast), and Jayar Jackson, hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"The anti-abortion event was held at the Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden. At the same time, a group of preschoolers was also visiting the botanical garden for a field trip.

According to the Des Moines Register, Fiorina “headed straight for a group of giggling 4- and 5-year-olds” when she first arrived at the botanical garden. She reportedly ushered them toward the makeshift stage set up for the anti-abortion event — which featured a large poster of a fetus — without asking permission for the children to sit with her.

During the hour-long event, Fiorina reiterated her opposition to Planned Parenthood, which has become a central feature of her campaign. The candidate has accused the national women’s health organization of illegally harvesting babies’ brains. (That claim, which sprung from a misleading video campaign spearheaded by Planned Parenthood opponents, has been widely and thoroughly debunked.)”*
