Twofers for Carly Fiorina

Carly Fiorina (the most unhappy woman in America) made her mark Friday night in Colorado when a middle-aged, white-American crackpot killed three people at a Planned Parenthood center, uttering “No more body parts,” as he shot his innocent victims. Quite a manly act.

In one of the Republican presidential debates several weeks ago, Fiorina lied about a video she claimed she saw, describing it as showing the harvesting of fetal body parts at a Planned Parenthood center. No such video exists, but many things Fiorina describes are not based on reality.

Once again, the killer was a white male, with a track record of abusing his wife, but somehow he saw himself as a standard-bearer for the Pro-Life movement, which never flinches at murdering adults at Planned Parenthood centers.

Fiorina won this one because women do not attack Planned Parenthood centers. They understand the value of their bodies—even if most Republican congressmen do not. The Colorado shooter became her surrogate, since no woman would do the same thing.

Fiorina managed to get twofers for this little horror show she created: attacking people at a Planned Parenthood center and supporting the National Rifle Association’s belief that guns do not kill people.

Kudos for Fiorina!
