Now Playing Clinton laughs at Fiorina...
Story highlights
Hillary Clinton laughed when a former Hewlett-Packard worker joked that he wanted to strangle former HP CEO Carly Fiorina
Republicans quickly hit Clinton for laughing at the comment, but the Clinton campaign said the man was obviously joking
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!"
Conservatives on Twitter quickly blasted Clinton for not condemning the man's remarks against Fiorina, the only other female major party candidate. The Republican National Committee quickly sent out a press release criticizing the Democratic front-runner.
"By laughing off a male questioner's desire to strangle Carly Fiorina, Hillary Clinton and the Democrats have lost all credibility claiming to be a party that stands up for women," RNC spokeswoman Allison Moore said in a statement. "Jokes about committing acts of violence against women are always in poor taste and should be condemned every time."
After the event, Clinton simply shook her head to indicate "no" when asked if she believed the man literally would try to strangle Fiorina. She did not say, however, whether she should not have laughed at the man's comment.
Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill later told a CNN reporter, "You were there. What was your take? It was a joke." ...........
