Conservative Iowa Radio Host: Fiorina Went ‘Full Vagina’ in Opening Monologue

Conservative Iowa talk radio host Steve Deace attacked Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina on Twitter only minutes into the CNN Republican debate Wednesday, accusing her of going “full vagina.”

In her opening statement, Fiorina alluded to the troubles she’d faced in her personal and professional life as a woman, saying America needed “a tested leader… I have been tested. I have beaten breast cancer. I have buried a child. I started as a secretary. I fought my way to the top of corporate America while being called every b-word in the book.”

Deace, who is also a Ted Cruz supporter and surrogate in Iowa, did not care for those comments.

Wow…Fiorina goes full vagina right away

Completely agree. I think a GOP presidential candidate’s opening statement being all about her gender is disgusting. https://t.co/oN5TQvDreN — Steve Deace (@SteveDeaceShow) December 16, 2015

While at first he defended himself from criticism, Deace eventually apologized… for his vulgarity, not the idea behind the tweet.

. @amydeace tells me while on point about Carly and gender card I was too vulgar and need to apologize. And my wife is ALWAYS right. So I do
