Donald Trump attacked former Republican presidential contender Carly Fiorina for announcing that she intends to vote for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
In an interview with The Atlantic, Fiorina said she is voting for Biden because he offers “real leadership” and has far more character than Trump has ever had.
“As citizens, our vote is more than a check on a box. You know, it’s a statement about where we want to go, and I think what we need now actually is real leadership that can unify the country,” she said. “I am encouraged that Joe Biden is a person of humility and empathy and character. I think he’s demonstrated that through his life. And I think we need humility and empathy everywhere in public life right now. And I think character counts.”
As you may recall, Trump once attacked Fiorina by suggesting she’s too ugly to be president.
“Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?” Trump said in 2016.

And he demonstrated his lack of character again by lashing out at her on Twitter.
Failed presidential candidate (thank you President Trump!), Carly Fiorina, said she will be voting for Corrupt Joe Biden. She lost so badly to me, twice in one campaign, that she should be voting for Joe. No complaints!!!

Clearly, Trump is losing many Republicans. Even John Bolton isn’t going to vote for him this time around.
Twitter users rushed to Fiorina’s defense.
A little birdie tells me that more Republicans are going to walk away from Trump after all of the primaries are over with. Trump is scared!

She failed politically but she sticks to conservative &American principles, Something that you are unable to do. #RepublicansForBiden

I guess calling her a “failed presidential candidate” is better than calling her “horseface.”
Thanks for reminding everyone what a total fucking sleezeball you are.

Everyone you endorse loses. You’re going down with your ship of fools.

Marketing genius Donald Trump is now advertising all of the Republicans who are voting for Biden. That’s… one strategy?

yes, because Conservative women turning their back on you is something you wouldn’t complain about. (Off the fantasy land called Twitter.)

If Trump wants to know why he’s losing the support of women, this attack on Fiorina is why.
