Besides the victimization of women intended by the videos, Ms. Fiorina is embracing their illegitimate content as if fact. The videos are completely compromised by heavy editing.
Minority Leader Pelosi has stated she has called for an investigation of the videos and the activity to collect, produce and edit them. So, until the American people have THE TRUTH about said videos there is nothing can accurately be understood from them.
It is completely obvious to me, Ms. Fiorina is creating her own reality to serve the attraction of Republican voters. It is all political. Today she lied on Meet the Press. She made a reference to the legal standing of a baby when it comes a citizen; She stated "...when it leaves the hospital." That is nonsense and a lie. Anyone she points a finger at never says that. She is a drama queen. What else is new with Republicans.

The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation (click here) committed one of the great PR faux pas of the decade in January 2012, when it summarily cut off funding to Planned Parenthood in what appeared to be a bow to anti-abortion crusaders.
Now, with its release of its latest financial statements, the cost of that decision can be measured: It's more than $77 million, or fully 22% of the foundation's income. That's how much less the Dallas-based foundation collected in contributions, sponsorships and entry fees for its sponsored races in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, compared with the previous year. The raw figures are these: In the most recent fiscal year Komen booked $270 million; the year before that, Komen booked $348 million.
Last year's decline was a continuation of a slightly longer trend. In fiscal 2011 the organization collected $367 million. Komen officials are candid in attributing much of last year's sharp decline to the Planned Parenthood controversy, though they also point to the general economic slump. Participation in the group's signature Race for the Cure events is also down....
...The foundation's decision to cease funding Planned Parenthood was a huge blunder. Komen officials said at the time that they had merely tightened grant eligibility rules to exclude groups under investigation by government authorities -- Planned Parenthood was the target of a ginned-up "investigation" by anti-abortion Republicans in the House.
