Fiorina: ‘I Don’t Spend a Lot of Time Thinking’ About What Trump Is Saying About Me

‘When his insults are below the belt to someone, then I will make a comment’

RADDATZ: “Turning now to the only woman in the Republican field who is catching fire here in Iowa after her strong performance in the undercard debate last week. Earlier, you heard Donald Trump calling her a nice lady. But he had some harsher words for her on Friday. Watch.”

TRUMP: “Carly was a little nasty to me. Be careful, Carly. Be careful. But I can’t say anything to her, because she’s a woman and I don’t want to be accused of being tough on women. I can’t do that, right?”

RADDATZ: “And Carly Fiorina is here with me. What’s your reaction to that?”

FIORINA: “Oh, honestly, you know, I find it sort of amusing. I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about or focusing on what Donald Trump is saying. When his insults are below the belt to someone, then I will make a comment just as I did when President Obama called anyone who disagreed with his Iranian deal equivalent to the hardliners chanting ‘Death to America!’ I just think insults are not helpful to the political process. We’ve got a lot of serious issues here. But most of the time, I spend my time answering voters’ questions and questions from the media.”
