Carly Fiorina made good use of an opportunity to respond to Donald Trump‘s personal attack in a recent interview during the CNN-hosted GOP debate Wednesday night.

Carly Fiorina Vs Donald Trump

Trump, who has made personal attacks a central part of his presidential campaign, didn’t hold back when asked about Fiorina. “Look at that face!” he exclaimed during an interview with Rolling Stone. “Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?!”

After the interview went viral, Trump claimed that the attack was not, as one would assume, on the businesswoman’s looks, but rather on her “persona.” CNN debate moderator Jake Tapper asked Fiorina what she made of the comment during the second republican debate last night.

“I think women all over this country heard very clearly what Mr. Trump said,” Fiorina said to cheers from the audience.

Trump responded to the comment by playing nice, saying, “I think she’s got a beautiful face and I think she’s a beautiful woman.”

Though Trump stayed away from further attacking Fiorina’s appearance, he did get one jab in on Sen. Rand Paul. After Paul called Trump out on his sophomoric disses, the real estate mogul said, “I never attacked him on his looks and believe me there’s plenty of subject matter right there.”
