Carly Fiorina on Sunday lashed out at her Republican presidential rival Ted Cruz over remarks he made on gay marriage while attending a fundraiser in Manhattan.
At the event, Cruz, an outspoken opponent of marriage equality, told a Republican supporter that “fighting gay marriage” would not be a “top-three priority” in his administration.

During an appearance on CNN's State of the Union, Fiorina alluded to Cruz's remarks.
“We'll see if Ted Cruz has the nomination locked up, but I would say that Ted Cruz is just like any other politician,” Fiorina said. “He says one thing in Manhattan. He says another thing in Iowa. He says whatever he needs to say to get elected and then he's going to do as he pleases.”
“I think the American people are tired of the political class that promises much and delivers much of the same,” she added.
