“She’s playing the game herself.”

Donald Trump believes the hubbub over his comments about Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina’s face is a case of a double standard.

“It’s not only a double standard — it’s being politically correct,” Trump told Fox News’ Sean Hannity, noting that in 2010, Fiorina mocked an opponent’s appearance.

“She was very nasty. She was running against Barbara Boxer. She lost in a landslide, but during the run she was really horrible about Barbara Boxer’s looks,” Trump said.

While Fiorina was prepping for an interview during her 2010 U.S. Senate campaign against Boxer, D-CA, she made comments to her staff after seeing Boxer on TV.

“God what is that hair? So yesterday!,” Fiorina said at the time.

Now, Fiorina is taking offense at a remark Trump claims was not intended as an insult.

“So, Carly is playing the double standard. She’s playing the game herself,” Trump said.

Trump also noted that he has not been immune from comments on his appearance.

“When I get criticized constantly about my hair, nobody does a story about, ‘Oh, isn’t that terrible? They criticized Donald Trump’s hair,’” he said.

Fiorina said Friday that the remarks were not “a generous thing,” and said she never did anything like it again. When asked to recall the incident, Boxer called her 2010 opponent “mean-spirited.” Boxer noted that the open microphone incident was not the only time Fiorina’s campaign mocked her appearance.

Boxer cited a video Fiorina’s campaign used that was called “Hindenboxer” in which Boxer’s head expanded into a blimp-like vessel that smashed through the ceiling of the U.S. Capitol, then drifted across America until it crash-landed in the Pacific Ocean.
