Excerpt:
As Donald Trump continues to face fallout for the mocking comments he made about her face, Carly Fiorina largely took things in stride during a speech in Phoenix last night.
While she did not call out the real estate plutocrat by name, Fiorina’s opening statement for the National Federation of Republican Women’s conference was clearly a rebuttal to the question of “would anyone vote for that?”
“Ladies, look at this face,” Fiorina said to general applause. “This is the face of a 61-year-old woman. I am proud of every year and every wrinkle.”
As she went through her speech, Fiorina asked the largely female audience to look at their own faces, reminding them of the double standards women face, and importance of leadership. Fiorina stressed that she is as capable of being president as her male Republican competitors, and eventually came back to Trump by saying that bragging and wealth does not equate to leadership qualities.
“Leadership is not about position. It is not about title. It is not about how big your office is or how big your plane or your helicopter or your ego,” Fiorina said.
