In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Donald Trump was quoted as saying about Carly Fiorina: “Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that?”
Trump, who just last month had to spin a remark about Fox News’ Megyn Kelly, claimed that “look at her face” wasn’t a comment on Fiorina’s physical appearance at all:
#TrumpOnCNN: he says "Look at that face!" was a comment about Carly Fiorina's "persona," not her physical attributes http://t.co/aEF4ub0xuN

A comment about her “persona”?

General consensus on that excuse? Not the classiest spin they’ve ever experienced:
I've heard four-year-olds who make better excuses than Trump. Sheesh. https://t.co/v80VSCxax5

He did not clarify the comments. He changed them.— @RedSoxFan777 (@Red_Sox_Fan777) September 10, 2015
And when he called her a "Pig Night double-bagger" it was merely a comment on her position on the capital gains taxhttps://t.co/OSXQxI2E97

Trump added that anyone thinking otherwise must be bleeding from their whatever. https://t.co/narodPKYRo

For example, if a person disapproved of Kanye West's persona, he might say, "I hate Kanye West's face." Makes sense. https://t.co/4J2bS2DkPz
