Chuck Todd tried to back Carly Fiorina into a corner on Meet the Press over her comments about the videos exposing Planned Parenthood’s trafficking of baby parts. But it was Todd who ended up being spoon-fed the facts by Fiorina.
Todd jumped right into the interview by accusing Carly of lying about the video detailing babies being born alive and their brains being harvested by Planned Parenthood. But Carly reminded Chuck how to do his job, that his focus isn’t on the actual harvesting of babies, but rather he is more concerned with Carly’s words describing what actually did occur in the video.
CHUCK TODD:
Well, the footage you describe at best is a reenactment. The people even– the people that made the videos admit it’s stock footage. Yet, you went right along and said, “It’s Planned Parenthood.”
CARLY FIORINA:
Chuck, Chuck, Chuck, Chuck, Chuck. Do you think this is not happening? Does Hillary Clinton think this is not happening? So sad that you missed the opportunity to ask Mrs. Clinton why she said, “Late-term abortions were only performed for medical purposes.” That is patently false. This is happening in America today. And taxpayers are paying for it. That is a fact. It is a reality. And no one can run away from it.
Todd continued by citing a Washington Post Editorial which claimed Fiorina was lying about the video. All the Post proved in their rebuke is that their editors actually didn’t watch the videos. If they had, they would have known this is what is spoken of and depicted in the video.
Carly wasn’t having any of Todd’s nonsense and she fired back challenging the credibility of the Washington Post’s coverage of her campaign.
“Well, first of all the Washington Post also claims that I am lying about being a secretary. So let’s get real. I mean, I don’t even know how to deal with that. I was a secretary part-time to put myself through college, and full-time after I graduated. The Washington Post gave me three Pinocchios for claiming that I was a secretary.
So honestly, I don’t think The Washington Post has a lot of credibility here. This is not about being pro-life or pro-choice. It is certainly not about birth control. It is not even about women’s health. It is about the character of our nation. No one can deny this is happening because it is happening.”
Carly Fiorina continues to put her opponents and challengers in their place. What do you think Hillary Clinton’s reaction would be if they had to square off in a debate? Please comment below.
