Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina said during the CNN debate Wednesday that she wouldn’t put a woman on the $10 bill.

Each candidate was asked who he or she would put on the $10 bill. President Obama’s administration announced that a woman would appear on the $10 bill, currently the note of Alexander Hamilton.

“I wouldn’t change the $10 bill or the $20 bill. I think honestly it’s a gesture. Don’t think it helps to change our history. What I would think is we ought to recognize that women are not a special interest group,” Fiorina said. “Women are the majority of this nation. We are half the potential of this nation. And this nation will be better off when every woman has the opportunity to live the life she chooses.”

  1. How about if she’s not ugly, Carly? Can she go on then?

  2. Quite honestly, the bigger story was that Jeb Bush would put Margaret Thatcher on the $10 bill. Margaret Thatcher. I almost fell out of my chair on that one.

    On a side note, when Chris Christie mentioned lack of representation of the Adams family, I seriously thought he was going to suggest Morticia should be on the $10 bill.

    She isn’t a conservative for nothing! She knows the base despises women so she has to out compete her fellow candidates in whatever misogynist position she can.

  5. She wasn’t. They don’t.
