Republican presidential candidate and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina said Tuesday that her GOP rival Donald Trump was the “Kim Kardashian of politics.”
Kardashian is a reality TV star who most recently expanded her brand with an emoji app. Her husband, Kanye West, has said he’s considering running for President in 2020.
Fiorina took a jab at Kardashian on “Fox & Friends” when discussing Esquire magazine’s cover of Trump, which dubbed him the “hater in chief.”
“Look, I don’t exactly think Esquire is an authority, but there is no doubt: Donald Trump is an extremely divisive candidate,” Fiorina said. “That’s why he cannot win. That is why he cannot be our nominee.”
“But honestly,” she continued. “Donald Trump reminds me of the Kim Kardashian of politics. They’re both famous for being famous and the media plays along.”
