Fiorina takes ‘no delight’ in Hillary attacks
GOP presidential candidate Carly Fiorina said on Sunday she does not enjoy criticizing Hillary Clinton, her Democratic rival.
{mosads}“The questions I ask of Hillary Clinton I take no delight in,” she told host Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday.”
“I am concerned,” the former Hewlett-Packard CEO added. “Hillary Clinton has demonstrated again and again that she is not transparent.”
Fiorina also said she respected Clinton’s “hard work” over decades of government service.
Despite this, she added that Americans needed a fresh perspective in their next president that Clinton cannot provide.
“She and Bill Clinton are the personification of what 82 percent of Americans see as the professional political class,” Fiorina said.
“Ours was intended to be a citizen government,” she added. “Our nominee must take the fight to her.”
Fiorina’s remarks come as she struggles to find her place in one of the most crowded GOP presidential fields in recent memory.
The former technology executive argued on Sunday that she would work hard to appear before as many Americans as possible in nationally televised debates.
“A debate is an opportunity for many more of the American people to get a look at me,” she said.
CNN and Fox News announced earlier this month that they would cap the number of participants in their GOP 2016 presidential debates based on national polling numbers.
Fiorina said on Sunday that it was her campaign had to carve its own niche among next year’s Republican field.
“It is my job and my responsibility to make sure I meet those goals,” Fiorina said when asked about the Fox News debate’s guidelines.
“I’m confident I’ll be on that debate stage,” she told Wallace.
