While being interviewed by Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday,” Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina defended a possible government shutdown as a tool for defunding Planned Parenthood.

Fiorina told Wallace that, “something very important has changed since the last government shutdown” in 2013. “The Republican party has historic majorities in the House, and we now control the majority in the Senate.”

“People worked hard,” to take back Congress, “because they expected a change,” Fiorina continued. “I do think that people want to know, ‘what do we stand for? What does our party stand for? What do I stand for?’ I will say once again, President Obama can explain to the American people why it is so important to him to fund this organization that no one denies is engaged in this type of barbarity.”
