At CPAC, she continued the trend of firing at Clinton, the presumptive Democratic nominee: “She tweets about women’s rights in this country and takes money from governments that deny women the most basic human rights. She tweets about equal pay for women but won’t answer basic questions about her own offices’ pay standards—and neither will our President. Hillary may like hashtags. But she doesn’t know what leadership means.” You can read TIME’s own analysis of Clinton’s Twitter strategy [here](http://time.com/3693625/hillary-clinton-twitter-policy/ "undefined"). At the end of her speech during the question and answer section, Fiorina couldn’t help but take one more shot at Clinton during a question about the importance of female candidates: “I will say this, if Hillary Clinton had to face me on a debate stage, at the very least she would have a hitch in her swing.” ### Behind the Scenes of CPAC  Peter Dudziak of John, Minnesota attends CPAC in National Harbor, Md. on Feb. 27, 2014.
