She can not produce the video, but declares that it exists. She’s lying.

Yes, it’s called the McCarthyism Trophy and on the bottom is the inscription … “Decency?”

Like all GOP operatives, Fiorina will double down on a lie.

Until she pays a price for her rampant lying she will continue on this strain.

Yes, it is called the “GOP Nomination.”

What’s so annoying is that Fiorina is so good at this. She can tell a particular lie couched within a few half-truths. When confronted, she can shift the goal posts (no longer discussing hearts beating/leg twitching video and now focusing on “harvesting” organs). Then she just spins/misrepresents/misleads until most people don’t even know what the specific issue is anymore, other than Planned Parenthood does bad stuff and needs to be defunded. She can rely on the feckless media to not be able to corner her into any specific contradictions, and instead focus on broad ideology.

She’s the most sinister of politicians, and we need to be very afraid if she gets anywhere near the Presidency.

if she can make these claims, she needs to produce the video. otherwise, she should be given zero credibility. just another delusional . she is embarrassing herself.

“Yes,” she said. “And I would challenge Planned Parenthood… They’re trying to distract the American people from the hideous reality that Planned Parenthood is aborting fetuses alive to harvest their brains and other body parts. That is a fact.”

Bullshit, you lying liar. And it doesn’t even begin to make sense. PP doesn’t seek out pregnant women for abortions. In fact, in actual fact, it’s the other way around. Women who want abortions seek out PP. The idea that PP is aborting fetuses for the sole purpose of harvesting organs is idiotic on it’s face since women are coming to THEM, paying THEM for abortions. And the fact is that PP receives a nominal fee for the storage and transport of fetal tissue that is THEN used for research, research that has most likely saved many more babies (or people who were once babies) than the number of abortions PP has performed.

The time has come to verify: is Carleton Fiorina actually a woman?

It would say a great deal about the character of this nation if we were to fall for such a transparent falsehood.

But the way the press will handle it goes something like this:

“Democratic candidates accuse Carly Fiorina of lying and misleading the public with respect to the fetal tissue controversy, but is she on to something?”

16 Likes

Yeah except for the fact that you cannot prove a negative Carly. It’s logically impossible. So all YOU can do is prove the existence of this video that you seem to insist exists. And by the way, it’s not like PP takes women at gunpoint and forces them to have an abortion honey.

God this woman is stupid.

“It would be irresponsible not to ask.”

The thing is, the video does exist; I kind of wish they would stop saying it doesn’t because that would get to the deception at the heart of the videos. The one she’s talking about is this (link goes to the part Fiorina is talking about, at 5:38):

It has a lab tech talking about doing tissue extraction, but the footage of the fetus is from an intact miscarried fetus (which, unsurprisingly, died within a few minutes), not one that was aborted much less taken for tissue. Overlaying these is how CMP convinces people like Fiorina that they’re looking at exactly what goes on in the procedure.
