NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—Calling
criticism of her misrepresentations about Planned Parenthood “typical
left-wing tactics,” the Presidential candidate Carly Fiorina said, on
Sunday, “I will not be bullied into telling the truth.”
Appearing on “Fox News Sunday,” the former Hewlett-Packard C.E.O. denied that spreading misinformation about Planned Parenthood was “in any way incendiary,” but added, “What is truly incendiary is demanding that someone who is seeking the highest office in the land stop lying.”
Fiorina noted that many of her rivals for the Republican nomination—including Donald Trump, Ben Carson, and Ted Cruz—had successfully used lying as a key element of their campaign strategies. “All I am trying to do is level the playing field,” she said.
Additionally, she argued that she had not singled out Planned Parenthood as the subject of falsehoods during her campaign. “Look at the things I have said about my tenure at Hewlett-Packard,” she said. “I have steadfastly avoided facts from day one.”
Striking a defiant note, she said that she refused to allow a “tiny cabal of left-wing truth-fetishists” break her resolve. “Anyone who thinks I’m going to start suddenly telling the truth doesn’t know what Carly Fiorina is made of,” she said.

Oh my!
I knew I didn't like her. Now I know why.
Rand Paul is the only one in that field who actually likes the truth, tries to follow the Constitution - as every public office holder swore to uphold- tries to balance the budget, tries to influence Congress to do the same.
I like some one who follows the "I own me and you own you" philosophy regardless of supposed party affiliation.
The no one is going to force me to use the truth....facts...etc candidate is quite out of touch with those of us who cry for truth, consistency, transparency and minimal obfuscation.
She's there to polarize our opinions into accepting others not a whole lot better than she, into appearing as truly good candidates. Meanwhile the field is riddled with "We-are-not-excelling-so-let's-find-someone-to-hate/vilify/invade/subdue-so-at-least-industrial/big Pharma-campaign -contributors-can-show-profits-so-we-can-believe-our-economy-is-fine-" bull crap.
