Simi Valley, CA – Fiorina was asked to respond to one of the most biting insults of the 2016 campaign: “Look at that face,” Trump had said of her recently, going on to appear to say she didn’t have the looks to be president.

Fiorina used another of Trump’s comments as a comeback. On the stage, he had just called out Bush for trying to walk back comments on funding women’s health care.

“You know it’s interesting to me, Mr. Trump said that he heard Mr. Bush very clearly in what Mr. Bush said. I think women all over this country heard very clearly what Mr. Trump said,” she said, drawing loud applause from the live audience.

Trump, looking sheepish, said, “She’s got a beautiful face, and she’s a beautiful woman.”

On the split screen on CNN, Fiorina didn’t visibly react.
