After Donald Trump insulted fellow GOP presidential candidate Carly Fiorina's face in a controversial Rolling Stone profile last week, Fiorina is fighting back. But while she's already proved she can get in a barb against The Donald, this time she's spun his comments ("Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?") into an inspiring new campaign ad that features the faces of many American women.
"Ladies, look at this face, and look at all of your faces," Fiorina says in the stirring ad. "The face of leadership. The face of leadership in our party, the party of women's suffrage. The face of leadership in your communities, in your businesses, in your places of work and worship."
The ad shows the former Hewlett-Packard CEO setting herself apart from the other woman in the presidential race, Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, by emphasizing that women aren't a special interest group.

"I personally am so tired of hearing about women's issues," Fiorina said Friday. "Every issue is a woman's issue. We care about health care. We care about national security, education, about debts and deficits. Yes, we care about the character of our nation."
Fiorina's rising poll numbers earned her a spot in Wednesday's primetime Republican debate on CNN.
