Texas Tribune reporter Patrick Svitek tweeted that someone in the audience yelled “Trump!” as the curtain fell.
Turning to her companions on stage, Fiorina thanked them for being her “guardian angels”.

Two women onstage with Fiorina drew close to her, protecting her with their arms and hands as the curtains rumbled and fell; a security officer was seen in the video coming up to the stage to protect Fiorina as well.
Regaining composure, Fiorina looked out into the audience. Over the weekend, protesters pelted the former Hewlett-Packard CEO and current GOP presidential hopeful with condoms.
