This has happened to so many politicians: They speak as if no one outside the room can hear — even though the lights are up and the lavalier microphone is attached.
California’s Republican U.S. Senate nominee Carly Fiorina joins the group. No matter what the hair-do, this isn’t pretty.
The Fiorina campaign is brushing off the comments as “early morning small talk” (a Fiorina press secretary email to CNN). Perhaps the chat will fade, but for now it reveals a cattiness that is no more complimentary to the candidate than it is to teenage girls when they act this way.
This candidate has been media trained, and she’s experienced. But it’s times like these, when she’s distracted from the win and likely short on sleep, that she needs her trusted media staff to keep her safe. A pro in the studio would have seen this one coming.
