Curtain Falls on Carly Fiorina — Literally

By Published on September 28, 2015

Superstitious supporters of Carly Fiorina can’t see this as a good sign. The GOP presidential candidate got a scare when a large curtain fell across the stage, rod and all, in San Antonio, Texas Sunday. The former CEO of Hewlett-Packard was addressing a conference for women business owners when the swaying curtain came crashing down amid screams from the crowd. Texas Tribune reporter Patrick Svitek captured the incident on video:

Fiorina was calm and collected as the stage fell apart around her. She quickly picked up the mic to ask the crowd if anyone was injured.

According to Svitek, someone in the crowd shouted “Trump!” after the curtain fell.

“Trump, Hillary — it could’ve been lots of people,” Fiorina quipped in reply.

Luckily, no one was injured by the tumbling tapestry.
