Carly Fiorina: Unlike Clinton, "I actually love spending time with my husband"

In her opening statement at the Republican undercard debate, Carly Fiorina came out swinging against Hillary Clinton in a shocking, personal way.

"Unlike another woman in this race," Fiorina said, "I actually love spending time with my husband."

Fiorina may have been demoted from the main stage to the undercard debate in the GOP primary, but she's still taking shots at Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton. And she's still not shying away from gender issues.

But in the last debate, she attacked misogyny by mentioning that she had been called "every b-word in the book." In this one, she indulged in misogyny herself — with a truly ugly attack that's just like the ones Clinton has been fighting off for decades, ever since her husband's sex scandals came to light.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple reasons that we can't rely only on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. We can’t do that if we have a paywall.

That’s why we also turn to you, our readers, to help us keep Vox free. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today?
