Failed Republican Presidential Candidate Says Impeachment is “Vital”; Then Says She Still May Vote for Reelection
Former Hewlett-Packard CEO and failed 2016 Republican Presidential candidate Carly Fiorina had harsh words for the President but then conceded not matter what the outcome of the impeachment trial, she still may vote for him to be reelected. In an interview with CNN, Fiorina said his impeachment was “vital” because his “conduct is impeachable.”

She also would not answer whether, if she were in the Senate, if she would vote for the President to be removed. Throughout the interview, she took shots at her former opponent, President Trump, saying things like, “Some of this conduct, like publicly berating a decorated war veteran who shows up in response to a lawfully issued subpoena of Congress, I think that conduct is not just unbecoming, I think it’s destructive to our republic.”

She even talked about what she perceives as the major problems about the Republican party and President Trump’s role in that saying, “I think there is a reason why women, people of color, young people, don’t feel affinity for the Republican Party. It’s because the brand, the way business has been conducted, sends a message: we don’t value you, and we don’t respect you.” As for the President, she said, “Right now, (the Republican Party) seems to be all about pledging fealty to Donald Trump no matter what and I’m just not in that place.” However, despite all he tough talk about the actions of the President, Fiorina would not commit one way or the other as to whether she would vote for him in 2020. When asked if she would vote for him in a general election, as she claims to have done in 2016, she responded, “It depends who the Democrats put up.”
Impeachable and "destructive to the republic," but she might vote for him anyway. 🙄 https://t.co/jRirBABr3h
