Former Staffer: ‘I’d Rather Go To Iraq Than Work For Carly Fiorina Again’

http://freakoutnation.com/2015/05/former-staffer-id-rather-go-to-iraq-than-work-for-carly-fiorina-again/

Carly Fiorina’s former staffers said they would not work for her again. They’re done. “I’d rather go to Iraq than work for Carly Fiorina again,” one high-level former campaign staffer told Reuters, who asked not to be identified, citing disclosure restrictions in his contract....

Twelve of about 30 people who worked on Fiorina’s failed 2010 California Senate campaign, most speaking out for the first time, told Reuters they would not work for her again. Fiorina, once one of America’s most powerful businesswomen, is now campaigning for the Republican nomination in 2016.

The reason: for more than four years, Fiorina – who has an estimated net worth of up to $120 million – didn’t pay them, a review of Federal Election Commission records shows.

Former campaign workers explained that they were upset that Fiorina only paid them once she decided to run for president. They added that they took issue with Fiorina repaying herself $1.2 million of the $6.78 million she had loaned her campaign, at around the time she lost her campaign.

You don't work for her because you don't believe she is the right person to run the country?

If she was the wrong person but paid you timely, you would work for her?


I get we all want to be paid, but don't make that the main reason you would harm your country.
