Carly Fiorina: Unlike Hillary Clinton, I’ve actually accomplished something

Potential 2016 GOP presidential candidate Carly Fiorina took a major swipe Saturday at Hillary Clinton during a speech at the Iowa Freedom Summit.

“Like Hillary Clinton, I too have travelled hundreds of thousands of miles around the globe. But unlike her, I have actually accomplished something,” Fiorina said, according to her prepared remarks. “Mrs. Clinton, flying is an activity not an accomplishment.”

Fiorina, the former CEO of Hewlett-Packard, invoked Clinton’s experience as secretary of state under President Obama to criticize the current administration.

“I have met Vladimir Putin and know that it will take more to halt his ambitions than a gimmicky red “reset” button. Having done business in over 80 countries and having served as the Chairman of the External Advisory Board at the CIA, I know that China is a state-sponsor of cyberwarfare and has a strategy to steal our intellectual property. I know Bibi Netanyahu and know that when he warns us, over and over and over again, that Iran is a danger to this nation as well as to his own, that we must listen. And unlike Hillary Clinton I know what difference it makes that our ambassador to Libya and three other brave Americans were killed in a deliberate terrorist attack on the anniversary of 9/11 and that the response of our nation must be more forceful that the arrest of a single individual a year later.”

Fiorina hired former Republican National Committee staffer Sarah Isgur Flores to work for her political action committee, Unlocking Potential Project, earlier this month.
