Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina blasted the Iowa radio host who said she went “full vagina” during the last Republican debate — and linked him directly to Ted Cruz’s campaign.
Steve Deace, who had pledged his support for Cruz, had tweeted during the debate that Fiorina had gone “full vagina” in her opening statement. Fiorina didn’t mention the radio host by name Tuesday, but addressed his comment in an interview on Boston Herald Radio.
“By the way, I’ve now been called the V-word as well by the Cruz campaign, yes V, and I won’t say that word either,” Fiorina said. “But suffice it to say—V as in victor—when I told my story, my American dream story of my life, a prominent member of the Cruz campaign said that I had gone full V-word.”
Fiorina, the former CEO of Hewlett-Packard said she had been called “several b words” by colleagues in her workplaces.
“The point is, he said I was playing the gender card just because I told my story,” she said. “Boy, every candidate running has told their story, but somehow I was playing the gender card.”

If she were really concerned with misogyny, she would have used the occasion to denounce Drumpf’s “schlonged” comment as well. Guess insults directed at Democratic women don’t count.
"By the way, I’ve now been called the V-word as well by the Cruz campaign, yes V, and I won’t say that word either.”
I appreciate her anger at the misogyny directed to her from the right-wing talk radio world (also wonder if she feels as outraged at the even more relentless misogyny directed from the right to Hillary Clinton) but why does she have to act as if the word vagina is somehow dirty?
I wish these right-wingers would get over their repulsion of sex and body parts.
I have no sympathy for this lying woman. Until she admits that she lied about Planned Parenthood videos, and agrees to never be heard from again, she’s fair game.
Until then, you roll around with conservatives, lady, you will get fleas.
Also, someone point this out to Jeb…another example of another conservative playing the victim.
And to think we’re still like 60 days away from the first rwnj primary vote being cast. Just imagine the discourse in late January. Then just imagine all that bigotry and bile aimed at HRC starting in May. Gonna be a long year.
I thought she had a P.
