Carly Fiorina Accuses Hillary Clinton of Playing an 'Imitation' Game

World News Videos | US News VideosCopy

Positioning herself as the anti-Hillary Clinton candidate in a crowded field of prospective GOP 2016 contenders, Carly Fiorina is unapologetic in attacking the presumptive Democratic nominee.

I think its totally fair game to call out the presumptive Democratic nominee on her track record and policies, the former Hewlett-Packard CEO told ABC News on the sidelines of the Conservative Political Action Conference. Politics is about contrast, and I think as a conservative, we need to offer a very clear contrast to Hillary Clinton.

Fiorina addressed the conference Thursday, offering many direct jabs at Clinton during her speech. At one point, to the cheers of the audience, Fiorina joked, Like Mrs. Clinton, I too have traveled the globe. Unlike Mrs. Clinton, I know that flying is an activity, not an accomplishment.

Asked about Clintons recent use of the phrase unlocking potential, Fiorina -- whose Super PAC is titled the Unlocking Potential Project -- suggested this isnt the first time Clinton may have copied her.

Her book cover was remarkably similar to mine, as well, she said.

Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but I could steal one of her lines and ask, What difference does it make? Fiorina said sarcastically, referencing Clintons remarks before a congressional committee investigating the 2011 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

If she were to win the nomination, Fiorina said it would put a hitch in her swing for Clinton to have to run against another woman.

I think it just takes of the table a whole set of rhetoric that the Democratic Party has used for the last two elections, Fiorina said. Remember Hillary Clinton saying in Iowa, Its not enough to be a woman, you have to be a woman who believes. Really? Shes saying that women only count if they believe certain things.

Hillary Clinton stacks March schedule with women's events, a paid speech

Story highlights Clinton currently has seven events in March, with one paid speech and many focused on women This comes after Clinton gave only three speeches in January and February Clinton is expected to announce some official move towards the presidency in April, according to Democrats close to her

In January and February, Clinton headlined three events -- only one of which was in the United States. But as Clinton moves closer to her expected 2016 presidential campaign announcement, the former secretary or state has at least seven events scheduled for the month of March.

Most of Clinton's events are focused on one thing: women.

Clinton starts her month by headlining the 30th anniversary gala for Emily's List -- a pro-Clinton organization that focused on helping Democratic women win elected office. At the D.C. speech on March 3, Clinton is expected to give a nod to the group's importance to Democrats and highlight the reason more women are needed in politics.

Emily's List has been energized by Clinton's campaign and has pledged to raise and spend more money than any other election cycle because of the prospect of a Clinton White House.

The following week, Clinton will headline two New York events tied to her 1995 speech to the U.N. Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing -- a speech Clinton regularly references in pitches to women. In that speech Clinton said, "If there is one message that echoes forth from this conference, let it be that human rights are women's rights and women's rights are human rights once and for all."

On March 9, Clinton teams up with Chelsea, her daughter, and Melinda Gates to release a report through the Clinton Foundation that looks at "the gaps that still remain" in women's participation in the economy and politics.

The following day -- on March 10 -- Clinton will headline the United Nation's Women Empowerment Principles annual gathering in New York. Clinton will use the speech to outline the findings in the Clinton Foundation report and "reflect on progress made in implementing the agenda set in Beijing two decades ago," the organizers said in a release about the event.

On March 16, Clinton will be inducted into the Irish America Hall of Fame at an event in New York. Clinton is not Irish -- her family is of English, Scottish, French, and Welsh descent -- but she is being hooded because of "her dedicated work on Irish Peace Process."

"Hillary Rodham Clinton is one of the unsung heroes of the success of the Irish peace process," said Irish America co-founder Niall O'Dowd.
