Fiorina now points to Tom Perkins as a supporter

Lately, including at the last debate, Carly Fiorina's standard response to questions about being fired at HP is to mention that Tom Perkins, the billionaire HP board member who pushed for her firing, is now a big supporter. This is the same Tom Perkins that compared criticism of the 1% to the Nazi persecution of the Jews and who suggested, quite seriously apparently, that rich people should get more votes than poor people in our elections. Sounds like a heck of a guy. Perhaps next time she drops his name someone should ask her if she shares his views.
