Carly Fiorina attended a post-debate interview with MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, and defended accusations she made about Hillary Clinton being a perpetual liar.
“You called Hillary Clinton a liar tonight on a number of occasions,” Matthews said. “Do you want to explain why you would use such a, almost end of conversation term for your possible opponent next year?”
“Because it’s true,” Fiorina explained.
Earlier during the debate, Fiorina delivered what CNN even acknowledged as one of the best lines of the debate:
“Hillary Clinton lies about Benghazi, she lied about emails, she is still defending Planned Parenthood, and she is still her party’s frontrunner.”
In other words, lying appears to be a resume enhancer on the Democrat side of the ticket.
But Fiorina went into much more detail during the Matthews interview, and her on-point responses defending the charges that Clinton is a liar even drew begrudging praise from Matthews.

Finally, Matthews asked for a “fine point” on where Clinton lied on Benghazi.
Without hesitating, Fiorina delivered the following:
“It’s very clear from all the data, it’s very clear from the emails, that she, that the President of the United States, that the Secretary of State, and that the military understood this was a purposeful, terrorist attack on the anniversary of 9/11 and they understood it while it was going on.”
She continued, “So tell me then, why would you talk about, the next day, from the State Department, why would you talk about a video? Why would you stand over the bodies of the fallen and say it again? Why not come out and say this was a purposeful terrorist attack on our embassy, four brave Americans were killed and we’re going to seek retribution?”
Matthews ultimately closed the interview saying, “Thank you Carly Fiorina, I see why you stood out tonight.”
After the earlier debate, columnist Charles Krauthammer said Fiorina won “going away.”
