When Donald Trump gave Carly Fiorina lemons, she made lemonade.
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Trump made comments about Fiorina not looking presidential.
“Look at that face!” he was reported saying to his staff while watching Fiorina on television. “Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?!”
In later interviews Trump said that he was talking about her persona, not her looks.
In an ad released Monday, Fiorina capitalized on the remarks, saying women are the faces of leadership in the Republican Party.
“Ladies, look at this face and all of your faces, the face of leadership. The face of leadership in our party, the party of women’s suffrage,” Fiorina said in the ad. “The face of leadership in your communities, in your businesses, in your places of work and worship. Ladies, note to Democrat party: We are not a special interest group, we are the majority of the nation.”
“This is the face of a 61-year-old woman, I am proud of every year and every wrinkle.”
