Republican presidential hopeful Carly Fiorina told a packed audience that a huge, complex and sometimes corrupt government was “crushing the potential” of Americans.

“That is not hyperbole,” she said. “That is fact.”…

Fiorina: Next president needs ‘fundamental understanding’ of tech

The next U.S. president needs a fundamental understanding of technology and a vision to use it, GOP presidential candidate Carly Fiorina said Tuesday.

The former Hewlett-Packard CEO said the next inhabitant of the White House also needs to know when to take a hands-off approach.

“It’s important to have someone in the White House who has a fundamental understanding of technology, a fundamental vision for how technology can be used,” she said at Tech Crunch Disrupt in New York.

“One of the things I think government shouldn’t be doing is trying to regulate in some bureaucracy how innovation progresses in the technology industry,” she added.

Fiorina announced her bid for the White House on Monday with low poll numbers in what appears will be a crowded Republican field. She previously ran for the U.S. Senate in California but has never held elected office.

Railing Against ‘Crony Capitalism,’ Carly Fiorina Makes Her Case

Carly Fiorina made the case for her prospective presidential candidacy on Saturday, just days before she’s expected to officially jump into the race, telling a room full of conservative activists and writers that she has the policy background and the political skills to beat Hillary Clinton in a general election. “Hillary Clinton may be a vulnerable candidate, in many ways, but we should not underestimate her,” Fiorina said at the National Review Institute Ideas Summit. “We have to have a nominee who can take punches, but we [also] have to have a nominee who will throw punches.”

Fiorina’s political ambitions have met with derision among political experts, given that the only people to serve as president without holding prior elected office were war heroes. Fiorina argued that her experience rising from the secretarial pool to CEO at Hewlett Packard makes her a true outsider who can direct the general disgust voters feel toward Washington, D.C. — and toward crony capitalism in particular — at Hillary Clinton.

Fiorina blasts Apple CEO’s ‘hypocrisy’ over Indiana law

Former Hewlett-Packard chief Carly Fiorina on Thursday blasted Apple CEO Tim Cook’s opposition to Indiana’s religious freedom law as “hypocrisy.”

Fiorina, a potential 2016 GOP presidential contender, said Cook had a double standard and cited Apple’s operations in other countries with controversial laws about gays and women in an interview with The Wall Street Journal.

“When Tim Cook is upset about all the places that he does business because of the way they treat gays and women, he needs to withdraw from 90% of the markets that he’s in, including China and Saudi Arabia,” Fiorina argued. “But I don’t hear him being upset about that.”

Fiorina said his stance exposed a “level of hypocrisy here that is really unfortunate.”

She added that Indiana’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act contained “nothing objectionable” and that Cook’s criticism stemmed from “narrow special interests” rather than reality.

“I think this is a ginned-up controversy by people who play identity politics that has divided the nation in a way that is really unhelpful,” Fiorina added.

Cook, who came out as gay last year, criticized the Indiana measure when it was signed into law last week. The CEO said it ran counter to Apple’s policies on tolerance.
