Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) criticized her former U.S. senatorial campaign opponent Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina for her opposition to Planned Parenthood saying she does not fight for women and “she’ll say almost anything to get elected.”
Boxer said, “She’s very fast and loose with the facts. This is one place, if you look at her explanation as to why she laid off 30,000 workers at HP, and she shipped so many thousands of jobs overseas. She’ll say, oh, I created all these jobs, which were created because she did a merger with Compact. She’s fast and loose with the facts.”
She continued, “Look, I beat her by ten points. A landslide in a year that was horrible for Democrats. It wasn’t because of me. I’d love to think it was. It was because the California people who had a chance to choose went with the person who told the truth versus a person who played fast and loose with the facts. And it’s terrible to see a woman, the only woman running for president, attack Planned Parenthood, that helps so many millions of women. It’s a sad day, but it’s the way it is. Not all women are going to fight for women. Carly Fiorina does not. She fights for herself. And she’ll say almost anything to get elected.”
