Carly Fiorina said in an interview Saturday that she and other female candidates for office owe Hillary Clinton a "debt of gratitude" for legitimizing their candidacies, and "in many ways" still admires the former Secretary of State.
"She was the first serious woman candidate for president. We do owe her a debt of gratitude," Fiorina told NBC's Chuck Todd, acknowledging when asked whether she'd be taken seriously as a candidate without Clinton's 2008 presidential run, "perhaps not."
But Fiorina was quick to make clear that she doesn't believe Clinton is suited for the White House, asserting she "lied about some key things."
"It is also true, however, that she is not trustworthy, that she has lied about some key things. Benghazi, her emails, her server. And she doesn't have a track record," Fiorina said, adding that she "absolutely" believes Clinton purposely lied about the attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.
