Fiorina: Trump, Obama both hit below belt

GOP presidential candidate Carly Fiorina said on Wednesday that President Obama and Donald Trump share similarities in how they attack their opponents.

Fiorina argued that both men employ inflammatory rhetoric against their critics, according to GQ.

“There was no excuse for his comments about Megyn Kelly,” she said of Trump’s recent remarks towards the Fox News anchor some detractors found degrading.

“There are politicians in both parties, unfortunately, who paint with a broad brush, who use demeaning or insulting language, and it’s never helpful, it’s never helpful,” the former Hewlett-Packard CEO added.

Fiorina insisted she’s not worried about Trump, who is leading polls.

“I don’t spend a lot of time analyzing or even observing Donald Trump,” Fiorina said.

“I’m not particularly worried about every comment that he or anyone else makes,” she added of the GOP’s crowded presidential field.

“I think what a presidential campaign does is reveal character, over time and under pressure,” Fiorina added. “Over time and under pressure, voters get to see what somebody’s made of.”

Trump taunted Fiorina last weekend following the former technology executive’s defense of Kelly.

“I just realized that if you listen to Carly Fiorina for more than ten minutes straight, you develop a massive headache,” he tweeted on Aug. 9. “She has zero chance!”
