Carly Fiorina, Chuck Todd Clash over Planned Parenthood Claims

By Published on September 28, 2015

Carly Fiorina on Sunday defended her assertion that an undercover sting video shows Planned Parenthood officials keeping a “fully formed fetus” alive “to harvest its brain.”

At the second Republican presidential debate earlier this month, one of Fiorina’s strongest moments came when she described a gruesome scene from one of the controversial undercover videos.

“A fully-formed fetus on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking, while someone says, ‘We have to keep it alive to harvest its brain’,” Fiorina said at the time.

Fiorina’s description of the scene, and her supporting super-PAC’s subsequent use of it in an campaign ad, have been under fire, as media fact checkers and Planned Parenthood have said it was cobbled together using misleading and unrelated footage.

“Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd on Sunday asked Fiorina to acknowledge this.

“There is no evidence that the scene you described exists,” Todd said. “Are you willing now to concede that you exaggerated that scene?”

“No, not at all,” Fiorina responded. “That scene absolutely does exist. And that voice saying what I said they were saying, ‘We’re going to keep it alive to harvest its brain,’ exists as well’.”
