DERRY, NEW HAMPSHIRE (CNN) Hillary Clinton came under fire Tuesday when she laughed at a former Hewlett-Packard worker’s joking desire to “strangle” Carly Fiorina, the company’s former CEO.

“She says she’s a great CEO. Every time I see her on TV, I want to reach through and strangle her,” said the man during a question-and-answer session, eliciting laughter from the crowd. Clinton herself couldn’t hold back her laughs.

“I know that doesn’t sound very nice,” said the man, who added that he was laid off during Fiorina’s tenure. Clinton then jumped in and said, “I wouldn’t mess with you!”
