Fiorina launches Ready to Beat Hillary site
Carly Fiorina is “Ready to Beat Hillary” with a new campaign microsite that seeks to undermine the Democratic favorite’s bid for president.
The new site, launched by Fiorina’s campaign Wednesday, plays off the name of the super-PAC launched ahead of Hillary Clinton’s likely bid and solicits email addresses for the campaign to “join Carly Fiorina and the team that will beat Hillary in 2016.”
{mosads}It includes seven panels levying criticism of Clinton, alongside video from various speeches by Fiorina underscoring her points.
Those remarks touch on Clinton’s response to the attacks in Benghazi, Libya; her family foundation accepting money from “repressive regimes;” and her purported lack of accomplishments and trustworthiness.
Since the start of her presidential bid, Fiorina’s campaign has sought to frame her as the anti-Clinton. Her announcement video began with Fiorina watching Clinton’s announcement, before abruptly turning it off to lament the rise of a “professional political class.”
Fiorina held a press conference Wednesday outside of the South Carolina hotel where Clinton later hosted a roundtable with female minority small-business owners. The campaign played up the contrast between Fiorina’s willingness to engage with reporters on her trip and Clinton’s tepid relationship with the press.
“People expect basic questions to be asked of anyone running for president,” Fiorina said later during an appearance on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports.”
