Carly Fiorina ignores Donald Trump's comments on her face, says she's 'getting under his skin'

Carly Fiorina refused to discuss comments Donald Trump made to Rolling Stone about her looks during an appearance on Fox News Wednesday night, but did say she thinks she must be doing something right to get him so riled up.

In a profile for Rolling Stone, reporter Paul Solotaroff wrote that after seeing Fiorina appear on a television screen, Trump said: "Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president? I mean, she's a woman, and I'm not s'posedta say bad things, but really, folks, come on. Are we serious?" When asked by Megyn Kelly her thoughts on Trump's declaration, Fiorina responded, "I think those comments speak for themselves and all the many, many, many thousands of voters out there that are helping me climb in the polls, yes, they're very serious."

Kelly pressed Fiorina, asking her what she thought Trump meant by talking about her face. Fiorina said doesn't want to spend any time thinking about what he meant, but added, "Maybe, just maybe, I'm getting under his skin a little bit because I am climbing up the polls."
