Clinton went on to slam Fiorina particularly for her stance on Planned Parenthood, which Fiorina has vocally condemned and pushed back against Democrats factchecking her claims that the organization is harvesting the organs from live children. But that Planned Parenthood episode was especially embarrassing for Fiorina and the GOP, and beyond attacking Democratic strengths with women, Fiorina’s candidacy has little else to offer. “There’s no fact to it.

Presidential hopeful Carly Fiorina will be the next candidate hosted on RFD-TV’s RURAL TOWN HALL this Thursday (Oct. 15). Ms. Fiorina will answer questions directly from listeners statewide about her plan to secure the border as well her views on economic development and individual liberty.
