Carly Fiorina slams Trump: 'He views women as something to be used'

By Rachel Frazin - 05/14/19

Former Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina slammed President Trump's treatment of women in an interview aired Tuesday.

Fiorina said she believes the president is "dismissive of women," but noted that he has placed many women in important roles.

“He's so routinely dismissive of women, the way he talks about women,” she said on the Yahoo News show “Through Her Eyes.” “And on the other hand, he's put a lot of women in really important jobs.”
