Fiorina: Interview was ‘vintage Clinton’

Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina on Wednesday morning panned the Democratic frontrunner’s first national TV interview as “vintage Clinton.”

Fiorina said it was “entirely predictable” for Hillary Clinton to loop other Republicans into criticism of fellow GOP 2016 hopeful Donald Trump’s controversial remarks on immigrants.

{mosads}”I think it’s vintage Clinton that she would equate not supporting a pathway to citizenship for those who have come here and stayed here illegally — I certainly do not and never have — that she would equate that to hostility to immigration. That’s simply false,” Fiorina said on “Fox and Friends.”

“I think it was vintage Clinton in another way,” Fiorina said of Clinton’s buzzy CNN interview from the previous night. “She accepted accountability for nothing. She was not asked a single question about her State Department time and she blamed the vast right-wing conspiracy for everything.”

Clinton joined a chorus of critics Tuesday blasting Trump’s remarks from his June 16 presidential launch highlighting criminals and “rapists” immigrating from Mexico, on which he has doubled down repeatedly.

“The Republican candidates, and it’s not just the ones who are most vitriolic, none of them support a path to citizenship. All of them would basically resign them to a life as second-class citizens,” Clinton told CNN.

Fiorina accused the Democrat of playing “identity politics” with Americans and suggested she was the GOP candidate best suited to make Clinton answer questions on her four-year tenure as secretary of State.

The former CEO of Hewlett-Packard is fighting to make it into the top 10 Republican candidates in order to appear on the debate stage next month; she is currently ranked 12th in the Real Clear Politics polling average.
