ABC's George Stephanopoulos Challenges Carly Fiorina's False Description Of Planned Parenthood Video

one thing fiorina has learned from trump, state a lie and keep on lying.....video @ link


STEPHANOPOULOS: Another powerful moment last night was when you talked about those Planned Parenthood tapes. But analysts who have watched all 12 plus hours say the scene you describe - that harrowing scene you describe -- actually isn't in those tapes. Did you misspeak?

FIORINA: No, I didn't misspeak and I don't know who you're speaking about in terms of watching the tapes but I have seen those images. I don't know whether you've watched the tapes, George, most people haven't. Certainly none of the Democrats who are still defending Planned Parenthood have watched those tapes. Planned Parenthood needs to be defended. This kind of butchery erodes at the character of our nation.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Sure, well Sarah Kliff, actually, writing in Vox watched all 12 hours, and she concluded, 'Either Fiorina hasn't watched the Planned Parenthood videos or she is knowingly misrepresenting the footage. Because what she says happens in the Planned Parenthood videos simply does not exist.'

FIORINA: Well, you know, there's a lot of commentary about these tapes being doctored. In fact, that's what the mainstream media keeps talking about, is the tapes and their origin. Rest assured I have seen the images that I talked about last night. Rest assured that human lives are being aborted fully formed in order to harvest body parts. Rest assured that this erodes at the character of our nation, and once again I will say, I dare Mrs. Clinton and President Obama, two defenders of Planned Parenthood, to watch these videotapes.

She mentioned the videos. Didn't say she'd seen the videos. Said she'd seen images that she described.

Just like last night.

the real, uncut, untouched, unedited version of this film? She set herself up for prime target from the Dems if they have the guts to expose this scam.

Basically she is admitting that her whole point was based on what she read.

I heard this story on RW radio. Someone who claims (or is claimed) to have worked at PP having seen something like this. Talk radio embellished it, their commentators added on and flooded their media with it (so it's true now to that crowd), and Carly took it another step.

Trump was buddy-ing it up with him last night. They don't want to attack their "black friend" on TV, their primary voters will take care of that for them.

The GOP has learned that just out and out lying is the only way to sell their idea of a successful America for the 1%.

(1). When the FR establishes an issue, it is THEIRS. And MSM & Democratic "leadership" will back off.

(2). The public (including Democrats) are pointedly made to see this and conclude that the Democratic Party doesn't have the juice to defend one of two issues that still prop up the party as a force for social betterment. (The other issue is SS.)

...because they see little opposition. In the last few days in my conversations with 20 something women, they see this as a minor issue because (as one put it) "women have always had that right."

Down and out failed CEO's pushing doctored videos of abortion daring a president to do something should be laughed at. She is a joke. Women will be harmed if PP is defunded. She wants to hurt women and she's willing to lie to do it. She is a sick puppy. F' her.

Take your DARE and shove it up your *ss I stand for women's health, should be Clinton's response.

They certainly don't care about anyone but themselves. They want to be president to be president. It will look good in the history books. They don't care one fig about America, the middle class, immigration or religion, let alone things they never talk about like poor people. These people are disgusting. How can any human want to vote for them? The older I get the less I understand Republican voters at all. Fiorina was destroyed by Boxer when she went one on one. If she goes one on one with Hillary I doubt she will do better. All the old stuff about her never voting, but always giving politicians money will come out. Her charm is talk show one liners thick.
