Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina bristles at the suggestion that she gets any special treatment as the sole woman among the 17 Republicans running for president. But at the same time, as she seeks to shore up support in the polls, she also has made a point of vocally wading into GOP gender controversies.
Fiorina was among the first candidates to slash at Donald Trump over his attacks against Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly following their testy exchanges in this week’s debate. It was the second time in recent days that Fiorina has seized upon a gender-based controversy, as she tries to raise her profile to qualify for the next presidential debate.
