Curtain Falls On Fiorina As She Gives Speech (VIDEO)

Republican presidential candidate and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina had a dramatic appearance Sunday in Texas — and it had nothing to do with what she said.

A big, black curtain fell during Fiorina’s speech, prompting screams and a security staff member to come and hold on to Fiorina.

“Eighty-two percent of the American people now think that we have a professional political class,” Fiorina said before shouts interrupted her speech.

Fiorina turned around to see the falling curtain and a security staffer rushed the stage.

“Keep speaking the truth, Carly!” someone yelled.

After the curtain fell, Fiorina, who appeared to be uninjured, asked the audience if anyone was hurt before launching back into her speech and referencing presidential candidates Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton.

“Hey, we just get it done, huh?” she said about the curtain falling, later adding: “Trump, Hillary, it could’ve been lots of people.”

  1. I predicted that the curtain would fall on her any day now.
    But I was expecting the event to be figurative, and not literal

  2. “Keep speaking the truth, Carly!”

    Yeah! Repeat those demonstrable falsehoods until they’re true!!!

  3. Protect the hair!

    Let us hope when her curtain really falls, that she will have the decency not to put us through this torture of running for anything again.
