American businesswoman and 2016 presidential candidate Carly Fiorina rejects the “liberal lexicon” that demands American women think and vote based on gender, rather than brains, she told The Daily Caller News Foundation in an exclusive interview.

Feminists had the temerity to call Fiorina “an offense to women,” but as someone who started as a secretary and rose to be a corporate titan and run for president, her life is a mockery to their charge.

Many women didn’t vote for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton “because they didn’t trust her,” Fiorina told TheDCNF. “They thought she was corrupt. They thought she hadn’t produced any results, and they thought she would be a lousy president. Count me in.”

Fiorina emphasized that theme during her presidential bid. “Flying is an activity, Mrs. Clinton,” she wrote in 2015. “It is not an accomplishment.”

Clinton’s book tour is “harming herself and diminishing herself even further”  after her unexpected election defeat, Fiorina told TheDCNF. “Losers whine about the rules,” she added, referring to Clinton’s criticisms about the Electoral College.

The experience of running for president, Fiorina said, was grueling and exhausting, but also uplifting. She told TheDCNF she was heartened to encounter citizens who were savvy enough to know Washington is not living up to its promises or solving their problems.

For Republicans in Congress who want to end intra-party discord and advance their agenda, Fiorina offered a simple prescription: Produce results and keep your campaign promises. But political parties seem to raise more money when they keep the nation polarized, Fiorina said, with Democrats focusing on victims and resentments instead of productive policies.

Now that the tone of political discourse is getting in the way of getting things done, Fiorina predicts popular frustration to rise if Republicans can’t govern despite having majority control of the House, Senate, and White House.

The biggest threat, Fiorina said, is that Americans forget who they are, lose their constitutional grounding, and let the government take over their lives. Republicans and Democrats alike are too often guilty of empowering Washington at the expense of the rest of America, according to Fiorina.

She offers a simple test for politicians: “Are you moving money, power, and decision-making out of Washington?” Politicians who change policy but still concentrate power in Washington aren’t doing enough, according to Fiorina.

Currently, Fiorina spends most of her time promoting leadership, which requires the courage to withstand criticism for challenging the status quo. Fiorina’s promotion of leadership is both needed and compelling.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
