Republican presidential candidate and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina defended her description of a Planned Parenthood video Sunday.
At the CNN debate Sept. 16, Fiorina told Democrats to look at the videos and “watch a fully formed fetus on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking, while someone says we have to keep it alive to harvest its brain.”
Her campaign and the organization that released the “sting” videos can’t point to the video that shows what Fiorina described.
“Do you acknowledge what every fact checker has found?” Fox News host Chris Wallace asked Fiorina Sunday. “As horrific as the scene is, it was only described on the video by someone who claimed to have seen it. There is not — no actual footage of the incident you just mentioned.”
“No, I don’t accept that at all,” Fiorina responded. “I’ve seen the footage. And I find it amazing, actually, that all these supposed fact checkers in the mainstream media claim this doesn’t exist, they’re trying to attack the authenticity of the videotape, I haven’t found a lot of people in the mainstream media who has ever watched these things.”
“I mean, they will claim that somebody watched it for them,” she continued. “I will continue to dare anyone who wants to continue to fund Planned Parenthood, watch the videotapes. And anyone who wants to challenge me first is going to have to prove to me that they watched it.”
Watch Fiorina’s comments from Raw Story:
If Fiorina really wants to destroy Planned Parenthood she should become its CEO.
There’s a far greater likelihood of somebody seeing real footage of Sasquatch than Sneed seeing what she’s claiming.
So, anyone who can’t find the video she’s talking about hasn’t watched it, and she won’t believe them. I don’t think she understands how evidence and proving your case works…but she knows that the voters she is pursuing don’t care about it either. This is a prime example of conservatives creating their own reality that is immune to facts, and to them it’s completely irrelevant that the PP videos have been found to be fraudulent.
I only hope that the voting population in general can manage to see through these absurd stories once the election comes around.
Well, she’s gone.
Yes, of course they haven’t watched the footage, you stupid mynah bird, because it bloody well doesn’t exist. It is incorporeal, fiction, absent, dreamlike, apparitional, phantasmal, supposititious. In short, it’s bollocks!
