    Fiorina’s Unsupported Claim about VA Deaths

    Carly Fiorina on several occasions has said 307,000 veterans have died while waiting for care from the Veterans Health Administration. In one instance, she said all of those veterans “died in the last year,” citing a recent inspector general’s report. But that’s not what the report says.

    The VA Office of the Inspector General report said 307,173 of nearly 867,000 pending VA applications belonged to individuals who died. But poor record-keeping made it impossible to say how many of them died while waiting for care or how many of them even applied for care.


    The report also said 84 percent of those who died, or 258,367 individuals, died more than four years ago — not last year.


    Fiorina, a Republican candidate for president, has made the VA report a staple of her recent speeches. At the National Federation of Republican Women Convention in Phoenix, Arizona, on Sept. 11, Fiorina said that “just last month, we got a report that 307,000 veterans have died waiting for an appointment.”


    Similarly, she told an audience at the Stretch Kennedy annual picnic in New Hampshire on Sept. 12 that “307,000 veterans had died in the last year waiting for health care.”

    Fiorina repeated the claim twice during CNN’s prime-time GOP debate on Sept. 16. After the debate, a viewer, and a self-proclaimed veteran, asked us to check Fiorina’s claim.

    On Sept. 2, the VA Office of the Inspector General released a report led “Veterans Health Administration: Review of Alleged Mismanagement at the Health Eligibility Center.” The report addressed four questions about the eligibility center, including an allegation first reported by the Atlanta Journal Cons ution last year that more than 47,000 veterans died while their applications were still pending.


    The IG report said an application would be marked as pending if “qualifying evidence,” such as evidence of military standing or income status, “is incomplete or unavailable.” A final enrollment decision cannot be made until that information is obtained.


    According to the report, the VA OIG found that 307,173 of the nearly 867,000 applications with “pending” status in the enrollment system as of Sept. 30, 2014, belonged to individuals who were reported deceased by the Social Security Administration.


    But that
    doesn’t necessarily mean that all of them died while waiting for health care, as Fiorina claimed.

    The VA OIG report said more than once that the exact number of veterans in the enrollment system (ES) seeking health benefits could not be determined.

    Fiorina Misleads on HP and Iran

    Carly Fiorina made several false, misleading and unsubstantiated claims in responding to questions about Hewlett-Packard’s involvement with a foreign subsidiary that sold products in Iran.


    • The former HP CEO claimed that a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation “proved that neither I nor anyone else in management knew about” a Hewlett-Packard subsidiary doing business in Iran. We have found no such ruling from the SEC, nor could Fiorina’s campaign provide one.
    • She also claimed that the company that actually sold HP products in Iran was “not honest” with HP about its dealings. But that company said in a 2003 press release that its relationship with HP had begun in 1997 to focus on “one market — Iran.”
    • Fiorina said “it’s impossible to ensure that nothing wrong ever happens” in such a large company, which she said had “a larger budget than any one of our 50 states.” That’s incorrect. California and New York had larger budgets in fiscal year 2005, which was Fiorina’s last with HP.


    We can’t say what Fiorina knew about an HP subsidiary’s dealings in Iran and when she knew it. But the company defended the subsidiary’s sales to Iran in a 2009 letter to the SEC — three years after Fiorina had left the company — saying such sales by a foreign subsidiary weren’t subject to the law governing U.S. companies.

    There’s other evidence suggesting that HP management, but not specifically Fiorina, may have been aware of the arrangement several years before then.

    goddam, you Repugs got some STOOPID wannabe Presidents

    Fiorina Campaign Makes Its Own Abortion Video

    During the latest GOP primary debate on September 16, Carly Fiorina described a video that shows "a fully formed fetus on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking, while someone says we have to keep it alive to harvest its brain." Many news reports have pointed out that no such video seems to exist—it's not among the heavily edited Center for Medical Progress videos released this summer, nor is it anywhere else.

    On September 19, the Fiorina campaign posted a video to the Carly for America YouTube page that appears to be a home-brewed version of the previously nonexistent video. The clip is called "Character of Our Nation," a quote from Fiorina's statements during the debate, when she said defunding Planned Parenthood "is about the character of our nation."

    In an email sent out yesterday, Planned Parenthood pointed out that the video appears to be a heavily edited selection of five separate audio and video clips, spliced together "to try to concoct the video that she claimed existed" during the debate. Several of the clips, Planned Parenthood said, come from the doctored Center for Medical Progress sting videos released this summer that purport to show Planned Parenthood officials selling fetal organs for profit—a criminal allegation that state after state has found to be false.

    One of the clips comes from the Grantham Collection, an anti-abortion archive that has been discredited by pro-choice advocates, in part for making false allegations about the content of benign photos. For instance, the group claimed that a photo of basic medical tongs is an image of the tool used to pull apart the limbs of an aborted fetus.

    Planned Parenthood wrote a letter to the Fiorina campaign yesterday, asking it to take down the composite video.

    In response to a request for comment on the veracity of the video, Fiorina campaign spokeswomen Sarah Isgur Flores wrote in an email,

    "Carly is a cancer survivor
    and doesn't need to be lectured on women's health by anyone.

    Over their long and factually incorrect letter,
    Planned Parenthood doesn't and can't deny they butchering babies and selling their organs [sic]. This is about the character of our nation."

    At the debate, Fiorina dared Hillary Clinton and President Obama to watch undercover videos attacking Planned Parenthood in order to see “a fully formed fetus on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking while someone says we have to keep it alive to harvest its brain.”

    Those videos, released by anti-choice front group the Center for Medical Progress, have already been discredited as misleading and deceptively edited by numerous media outletsand independent investigators. The videos were released by CMP in coordination with Republican lawmakers.

    Yet even these misleading videos, fact-checkers pointed out, don’t contain a scene like the one Fiorina described. It simply doesn’t exist. That hasn’t stopped Fiorina from doubling downon her comments in interviews and insisting that the footage is real and that she has seen it.


    A pro-Fiorina PAC called CARLY for America has released a video ad that tries to create the scene Fiorina describes out of whole cloth with numerous deceptive edits.


    The PAC is legally separate from the Fiorina campaign, and Planned Parenthood’s demands for a retraction have so far been unsuccessful.


    The video, according to a fact-check from Planned Parenthood, splices together five different video and audio sources from CMP: an interview with a former tissue procurement technician, Holly O’Donnell; a photo of a Pennsylvania woman’s stillborn son that was used without permission; a video from a discredited anti-choice archive called the Grantham Collection; audio from a secret video of a doctor in Colorado; and audio from a surrep iously recorded phone conversation with a man who works at another independent health-care organization in California.


    There is one particular scene in the CMP videos that Fiorina is probably referring to, but her description of it is wildly inaccurate, as RH Reality Check has explained. That scene already splices together three of the sources above, the interview with O’Donnell and the two fetus stock images, to mislead viewers into thinking that the images are an accurate illustration of O’Donnell’s story and were taken at Planned Parenthood.

    The pro-Fiorina ad shortens this scene to omit context from O’Donnell’s story.

    The deceptive ad ends up showing a “fully formed fetus” with “legs kicking” (a stock image), an unrelated and completely out-of-context audio quote about a “heart beating,” and a mention of harvesting a brain (which sounds gruesome but is part of the tissue procurement process, and there is no video of the incident).

    But even this edited video of an edited video can’t come close to showing the scene Fiorina describes, in which
    “someone says we have to keep it alive to harvest the brain.” No such quote exists, even out of context.

    Ex-HP CEO Fiorina used job-creating tax breaks to buy back stock — then fired thousands of workers

    Prior to being fired herself, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina used tax incentives from the federal government, intended to increase research and development and employee hiring, to buy back stock before firing thousands of HP workers.According to The Daily Beast, Fiorina — whose troubled tenure at HP has come under more scrutiny as she moves up in the polls for the GOP presidential nomination — was not the only high-ranking executive to take advantage of a corporate “tax holiday” and work it to her own advantage.

    In 2004 Congress passed the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 — after high pressure lobbying from Hewlett-Packard among others — that included an incentive for companies to repatriate profits stashed overseas with the understanding the money would be invested in job-creating research and development.


    Instead, under Fiorina’s stewardship, HP took $4 billion of the $4.3 billion in tax breaks and funneled the money into a stock buyback program that enriched shareholders including herself. The move was done despite the fact that the act specifically prohibited the stock manipulation.

    Instead of hiring more workers, HP laid off 14,500 workers due to plummeting share prices following Fiorina’s disastrous decision to purchase Compaq that caused profits to plummet.

    The following year, Fiorina was fired by the HP after an acrimonious fight, but still managed to depart with a
    $21 million severance package.

    This is not the only time Fiorina has been accused of skirting the law.


    During her tenure, HP was accused of selling products into Iran despite an embargo. HP explained that the sales were made by a foreign subsidiary which was not bound by the U.S. government sanctions. Fiorina claimed no knowledge of the $120 million sale.

    Carly Fiorina Makes a Lot of Stuff Up About Everything


    From her time at HP to abortion and assault weapons, Fiorina has an adventurous relationship with the truth.

    As it turns out, Fiorina's tendency to embellish—or altogether avoid—the facts goes back much farther than last week's debate. Below is a partial compilation of some of her less-than-truthful moments:

    1. Claim: Fiorina was not fired from her job at Hewlett-Packard because of performance
    .


    Facts
    : In February 2005, Fiorina was dismissed from her post as CEO of HP by a board of directors that she's since called "dysfunctional." At the time, she roundly told reporters that the firing was not about performance. She struck a similar note in her 2006 memoir, Tough Choices, writing that after more than five years leading HP, by December 2004 she had pulled the company toward success. She cited a strong fourth quarter, despite a third-quarter "stumble."

    In fact, the stumble was an enormous shortfall: HP missed its earnings projections that quarter by 23 percent. "When companies miss by a few pennies, it doesn't mean all that much," the New York Times wrote of Fiorina in 2006.

    "When companies miss by 23 percent, Wall Street starts wondering if the people at the top have a clue as to what's going on in the various businesses." The Times also pointed out at the time that although Fiorina wrote in her memoir that HP missed its numbers on her watch only three times, "in fact, the company fell short at least nine times on either revenue, profit or both."


    2. Claim: The Securities and Exchange Commission investigated allegations of HP's violations of the Iran embargo and cleared HP management of any knowledge of the problem.


    Facts:
    Last week, several news outlets reported that Fiorina was CEO of HP when the company allegedly sold products to Iran via a third-party company in Dubai, potentially in violation of US-Iran sanctions. When conservative radio host Sean Hannity questioned Fiorina about the allegations last Friday, she said, "The SEC did a thorough investigation and concluded that no one in management, myself included, knew anything about it."


    In fact, there's no evidence that an SEC investigation of the allegations ever happened. The SEC did inquire about the company's Iran dealings in a 2009 letter, after Fiorina had left the company. But there's no evidence that a ruling clearing management of any knowledge was ever issued. What's more, in their response letter to the SEC, HP indicated that management was aware of the Dubai-based company Redington Gulf's sales of HP products to Iran, but that such sales were legal under US law.


    3. Claim: Fiorina told Fox News host Chris Wallace last week that Redington Gulf was "not honest" with HP about selling HP products to Iran, a potential violation of US-Iran sanctions.


    Facts:
    Redington Gulf was open about its sales of HP products to Iran. The company issued a press release in 2003 saying that its relationship with HP began in 1997 to focus on "one market—Iran."


    4. Claim: Buying a semi-automatic weapon in the United States is illegal.


    Facts:
    In 2010, Fiorina ran for the Senate in California against three-term in bent Sen. Barbara Boxer. During their first debate, the moderator asked Fiorina why she opposed reinstatement of the federal ban on assault weapons. She responded with several inaccurate points: "First of all, you know, assault weapons and semi-automatic weapons are not the same thing," Fiorina said. "It's a definitional issue. There are—but here's the important point: It's illegal today to be buying semi-automatic weapons."

    In fact, it is very much legal to buy semi-automatic weapons in the United States. The AR-15, one of the most popular guns in America, is semi-automatic. Congress did ban the sale of fully automatic weapons (also known as machine guns) in 1986. Also, in contrast to Fiorina's claim, the vast majority of assault weapons—a term defined in the now-expired Federal Assault Weapons Ban—are semi-automatic, though gun rights advocates dislike the term. They argue that many typical sporting rifles are also semi-automatic, so "assault weapon" is a misleading, politicized term that should instead be used to describe fully automatic weapons.

    5. Claim: Taxpayers can fund "virtually any" abortion
    .


    Facts:
    During her 2010 Senate debate against California in bent Sen. Barbara Boxer, the moderator asked Fiorina about her views on abortion. "I understand that this is an emotional issue for many women," she responded. "I happen to be pro-life. Barbara Boxer holds a very extreme view: that taxpayers should pay for virtually any abortion, any time, anywhere, for any reason."

    In fact, the Hyde Amendment, which Boxer supported as a "good compromise," prohibits using federal dollars to fund most abortions, unless the pregnancy arises from rape, incest, or the abortion is needed to save the life of the mother.


    6. Claim: Fiorina's second husband picked her out of "the secretarial pool."


    Facts:
    During a town hall in New Hampshire over Labor Day weekend, Fiorina described meeting Frank Fiorina. "It was a long time ago in the technology world and there weren't that many people actually who took a young woman from the secretarial pool all that seriously. And he did—so I had to fall in love and marry him."

    But as the Washington Post points out, Fiorina was not a secretary when they met. She was working in government communications at AT&T. Her future husband was in a higher position and took interest in one of her ideas.


    7. Claim: Thanks to Fiorina's leadership, HP became the world's first $100 billion IT company.


    Facts:
    Fiorina's 2010 Senate campaign website trumpeted her achievements as HP's CEO, saying that she "positioned HP to become the first $100 billion information technology company."

    HP did become the first IT company to reach $100 billion in sales, but not until 2007—several years after Fiorina's departure and during the tenure of CEO Mark Hurd. Fiorina's presidential campaign says her leadership in the years leading up to this milestone—particularly the Compaq merger she orchestrated—was key to reaching the $100 billion mark. But the merger was widely deemed a failure, rather than a financial boon for the company.


    8. Claim: As president, Fiorina would not negotiate with Russian President Vladimir Putin


    Facts
    : During her presidential run, Fiorina has repeatedly said that, as president, she would completely avoid negotiations with Putin. "Russia is a bad actor," Fiorina said during last week's primary debate. "Vladimir Putin is someone we should not talk to, because the only way he will stop is to sense strength and resolve on the other side, and we have all of that within our control."

    But before being so tough on Putin, Fiorina expressed being very impressed with his leadership in Russia. As the Daily Beast points out, Fiorina met Putin in 2001, at the APEC CEO summit in Beijing. Both of them were slotted to give speeches, and Fiorina—then CEO of HP—spoke immediately before Putin.

    She talked about how Putin had led Russia through a dramatic transition to democracy. "Hewlett-Packard has been at the center of a lot of change in our 62-year history.

    But President Putin was elected president in the first democratic transition in Russia in 1,000 years," Fiorina said. "Talk about giving new meaning to the word 'invent.'" The Fiorina campaign disagreed with this interpretation, telling the Daily Beast that this was merely "a fairly banal statement of fact."

    Carly Fiorina Is Lying, And Everyone Knows It. Even Fox News.

    Here’s the thing: Carly Fiorina is lying. And no, we’re not going to play that clever Traditional Journalism game, where we subs ute gentler euphemisms, by saying she misspoke, or was not entirely accurate. Carly Fiorina lied.

    And when she was fact-checked by every fact-checker who fact-checks supposed facts that need checking, and everyone said it was impossible for Carly Fiorina to have watched the video she described because no such video exists, she did not back down or apologize for her error. She doubled down, then she doubled down again, and again some more. By lying. Because Carly Fiorina is a liar.


    The Federalist, a supposedly smart conservative website that is rabidly anti-choice, insists that Fiorina is right, and this Planned Parenthood footage does TOO exist. Except even The Federalist admits no, not really.

    It explains that the video of a live fetus at “Planned Parenthood” is actually stock imagery provided by another anti-choice organization, supposedly of “a baby who survived an abortion and was left in a metal bowl to die.”

    We actually know nothing about the cir stances of the fetus — whether it resulted from an abortion or a miscarriage or a premature birth, for example — but we do know that it was not filmed at Planned Parenthood, and

    we also know that nobody is discussing keeping it alive to extract its brain. Instead, according to The Federalist:

    While it is obviously not the same baby as the one she harvested the brain of, the footage helps viewers to understand what a 19-week old baby looks like when hearing the testimony of an ex-employee who harvested brains from babies of the same age. Illustrating stories with appropriate images is a common journalistic technique, one used by all media outlets.

    that’s not journalism. “Here is a video that proves something, even though it’s not really video of that, but just
    imagine that it is.” Nope, that’s not journalism. It’s a lie. Just like Carly Fiorina’s claim, which is also a lie, because she is a liar.

    Carly Fiorina blames the 'liberal' media for her Planned Parenthood lies

    Carly Fiorina, competing to win the forced-birther award for zealotry, campaigned at a crisis pregnancy center Thursday, one of those fake clinics that sell themselves as healthcare providers, and doubled-down on the lies that started with her CNN debate appearance and continued with her campaign's faked video. In her campaign stop she insisted that "anyone who challenges her on the point as part of the 'liberal media.'"

    "Interestingly, no one has denied that babies are being butchered for their body parts at Planned Parenthood clinics and elsewhere," she said as supporters clapped. "They're trying to have a conversation about a technicality about a video tape. The character of this nation cannot be about butchery of babies for body parts." [...]
    Inside the Carolina Pregnancy Center, however, Fiorina continued to fire away at "liberal hypocrisy."

    "They are perfectly prepared to destroy other people's jobs and livelihoods and communities in order to protect fish and frogs and flies," she said. "But they do not think a 17-week-old, a 20-week old, a 24-week old is worth saving. This, ladies and gentlemen, is hypocrisy," she said, referring to the stage of a fetus' development, not the age of a born child.

    Nice deflection there, Fiorina. The issue isn't about the existence of abortion at Planned Parenthood or anywhere else. The issue is that she's a pathological liar about it.

    Carly Fiorina Responds With Outdated Information When Veteran Asks About Medical Marijuana

    “You’re not going to like my answer,” Fiorina responded before hearkening back to her breast cancer diagnosis in 2009. At the time, she recounted, her doctor asked “if I was interested in medicinal marijuana.”

    “I said ‘No,’ and his response was ‘Good,’ because its a chemically complex compound that we do not understand — we do not understand how it reacts with chemotherapy thand all of the other statements,” she said. “It is true today …. [that before you get chemotherapy] you cannot have any marijuana in your system for at least 30 days …”


    Van Winkle interrupted. “That’s no longer true, ” she said.


    Fiorina paused. “So I will also tell you something else. We lost a daughter to addiction,”

    Five More Marijuana Studies Debunk Carly Fiorina’s Ignorant Reefer Madness Mindset

    It is astonishing that in the 21st Century, the so-called “information age,” there are so many Americans who are woefully ignorant about nearly everything.

    Included in that monumentally large “group of stupid” are conservatives, particularly those Republican conservatives who still base their policies and agendas on information that is patently false or guaranteed to fail.

    One failed CEO seeking the Republican presidential nomination, Carly Fiorina, revealed why her tenure at Hewlett Packard was a “colossal fail.”

    One wonders if Fiorina attempted to head a leading technology company with information based on manual typewriters and a mindset demanding that employees use handwritten index cards as a means of keeping mountains of information and technological data.

    One thing is certain, if Fiorina’s knowledge, or lack thereof, of the tremendous medical advances and research verifying the many, many medical benefits of cannabis is anything like her knowledge of running a giant tech business, it is no wonder she is an epic failure.

    former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina defended Bush era spying and torture, arguing that George W. Bush’s policies kept America safe.

    Fiorina followed GOP revisionist history by arguing that Bush kept us safe and she defended torture by stating:

    I believe that all of the evidence is very clear — that waterboarding was used in a very small handful of cases [and] was supervised by medical personnel in every one of those cases. And I also believe that waterboarding was used when there was no other way to get information that was necessary.

    Of course, Fiorina’s statement contradicts the evidence. The Senate Intelligence Committee found that “the use of the CIA’s enhanced interrogation techniques was not an effective means of obtaining accurate information or gaining detainee cooperation”. “Enhanced interrogation techniques” like water boarding, beatings and rectal feeding, failed to produce intelligence that was useful for foiling terrorist plots,

    Uh Oh, Lying Liar Carly Fiorina’s Planned Parenthood Lie Just Turned Into A Bigger Lie

    Everyone — literally, every single person in America, pretty much — has said, “No, Carly, you did not see a video of that, because no such thing exists.” But Carly and her campaign found this completely other video made by this completely other anti-choice group, purportedly of a just-aborted leg-kicking fetus. Sure, it wasn’t filmed at Planned Parenthood, and, OK, no one is talking about harvesting its brain. But pffft, says Carly, how dare the “liberal media” focus on a mere “technicality.” So BOO HISS Planned Parenthood, and save the leg-kicking aborted fetuses. And look, here is the entire “unedited” (but huh, still edited somehow) video of that “aborted” fetus. Except nope, even that is a lie.


    Gregg Cunningham is the founder of the anti-choice Center for Bio-Ethical Reform, which collects stock footage of fetuses so all the other anti-choice fetus fetishist perverts can use the graphic imagery to say, “See, abortion is gross!” On Monday, he released to TIME the 13-minute video from which this supposed aborted fetus footage was taken. Cunningham insists that this is definitely a video of an abortion, but if you watch the video — which, yes, is graphic (TRIGGER WARNING FOR GORY BLOODY VAGINA DELIVERING A TINY PREMATURE FETUS) — it does not look like an abortion at all. It looks like a miscarriage:



    Dr. Jen Gunter:
    Here are all the issues with the video from start to finish:


    1. It is illegally and clandestinely shot. I feel very badly for the poor woman in question and wonder why Fiorina and our elected officials are not as outraged as I am about her violation and exploitation. I had second thoughts about watching it myself given the lack of consent from the woman, however, I felt if I could end the conversation about it faster by weighing in. Time magazine or Slate have links.
    2. The prep of the patient. The physician (I’m assuming) pours surgical prep/cleaner on the woman’s perineum. We don’t do that anymore for spontaneous deliveries or for abortions that involve induction of labor. This tells me this video is at least 15 years old or from another country.
    3. The delivery. It is a spontaneous delivery as the operator waits for the fetus to be expelled. This is what we do with a previable premature delivery. If this were shot mid way through a 2nd trimester abortion (meaning the Laminaria in the cervix, which are osmotic sticks that help the cervix dilate, had just been removed) it is highly unlikely the operator would have waited for a spontaneous expulsion.
    4. The cord is clamped on the fetal side. If this were an abortion it would just be cut. Really. No one ever does this with an abortion as it serves no purpose.
    5. Waiting for the placenta. The clamp is left on the placental end and at the end of the video the placenta still hasn’t delivered. If this were an abortion the placenta would be removed with suction immediately, no one would wait 11 minutes. Ever. Every abortion clinic has a suction machine.
    6. There is no proof this video is in a Planned Parenthood clinic never mind in the United States. This could easily be an operating room.

    Carly aka Ms Botox and her entire staff are really, really DUMB, "for real".

    Carly Fiorina: I Supplied HP Servers For NSA Snooping

    According to an article at Motherboard, shortly after 9/11, NSA director Michael Hayden requested extra computing power and Carly Fiorina, then CEO of HP, responded by re-routing truckloads of servers to the agency. Fiorina acknowledged providing the servers to the NSA during an interview with Michael Isikoff in which she defended warrantless surveillance (as well as waterboarding) and framed her collaboration with the NSA in patriotic terms. Fiorina's compliance with Hayden's request for HP servers is but one episode in a long-running and close relationship between the GOP presidential hopeful and U.S. intelligence agencies.

    FOUND: The source of Carly Fiorina's fetus claim


    By now we all know GOP Presidential wannabee Carly Fiorina has been telling everyone that she saw a video of an aborted fetus "with arms and legs kicking while Planned Parenthood people dissected the baby looking for its brain."

    Her story is bull of the highest order -- HOWEVER -- there is a tiny element of truth in the story.

    Turns out, what she saw was a video of an infant that had been born prematurely at 19 weeks and that did not survive.


    Here is the mom who gave birth to the premature baby.
    By the mother's own description, the baby lived only a few minutes after birth. There was no dissection and no one was "harvesting the baby's brain," fetal tissue, or any organs.


    It is not clear if the mom is in on the scam that has been spreading. Her name is Lexi Oliver Fretz and she is a pro lifer. She has a Facebook page where she states "they did not ask for permission to use the photo." Apparently she knows the photo is being used deceptively; she seems to be okay with this because as she puts it, "YES it is illegal (using the photo without her permission) NO I am not going to do anything about it."
