Debates between opponents are a part of the political campaign just before an election. However, one cannot be certain if the same can be said about the mocking of one candidate by another. At least not on open mic.

However, that is exactly what newly elected candidate for the Senatorial race for the Republicans did. The Republican candidate for the Senatorial race, Carly Fiorina, was caught on open mic making fun of the hairdo of her opponent, Barbara Boxer, the Democratic challenger.

In fact, not only that, she was also heard making some other, quite offensive comments, which observers feel are not appropriate, and quite unrelated to the race for the Senatorial seat.

The candidate was heard making the comments while filming for an interview with a local television channel. She was heard saying that during one of the campaigns, one of her friends had seen Senator Barbara Boxer on television, and had commented on her hair. Adversely, of course.

However, the catch in the whole issue was that Carly Fiorina had never intended to make her opinions on the incumbent Senator’s hairdo public. She had been talking to a friend, off camera, while the interview was still not in progress.

She also went on to insinuate at the incumbent Senator’s apparent lack of interest in the prevailing fashion and style trends, saying that her hairdo is very much reminiscent of the yesteryears. Moreover, Carly Fiorina also went on to make some other comments, on the record.

Someone is heard telling the candidate that the Democratic party is attempting to relaunch the failed Senators at present, to which Carly Fiorina replied by taking the name of Barbara Boxer.
