Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina on Thursday invoked Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s private email server saga as she argued that she was technologically savvy enough for the Oval Office.

During Fox Business network’s undercard Republican presidential debate, Fiorina referenced Clinton’s response to a Fox News reporter who asked her this summer whether she “wiped” the private server clean.

“What, like with a cloth or something?” Clinton had joked. She later apologized for the comment.

“We need a president who understands technology in the oval office,” Fiorina, the former CEO of Hewlitt-Packard, said at the debate. “Mrs. Clinton, actually you cannot wipe a server with a towel.”
