Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton lashed out against Republicans calling for the withdrawal of taxpayer support for Planned Parenthood in light of recent scandals involving the organization. Clinton equated GOP positions on women’s issued to those of “terrorist groups.”
“Extreme views about women, we expect them from some of the terrorist groups, we expect that from people who don’t want to live in the modern world,” she said during a Cleveland rally Thursday.
Clinton criticized her Republican rivals for pushing “out-of-date and out-of-touch policies.”
“They are dead wrong for 21st century America,” the former first lady said.
Clinton went on to attack specifically Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Ohio Gov. John Kasich.
“I would like these Republican candidates to look a mom in the eye who caught her breast cancer early because she was able to get a screening for cancer, or a teenager who didn’t get pregnant because she had access to contraception,” she later said.
The Republican National Committee to offense to the Clinton speech, saying in a statement that the former top diplomat should apologize for the remarks.
“For Hillary Clinton to equate her political opponents to terrorists is a new low for her flailing campaign. She should apologize immediately for her inflammatory rhetoric,” RNC spokesman Allison Moore said.
Kasich also responded to the remarks made in his home state.
“Hillary Clinton’s trail of scandal is decades long, and only continues to worsen,” said a statement from the governor’s office. “That Clinton is already gunning for Gov. Kasich is a testament to the strength of his record in Ohio.”
Clinton also used the speech as an opportunity to use Wednesday’s shooting tragedy in Virginia to call for increased gun control in the U.S.
“We have a majority of Americans and a majority of gun owners that support universal background checks in America and I strongly believe we’ve got to have common sense reforms to keep weapons out of the hands of criminals, the violently unstable, domestic abusers, and even terrorists who find it pretty easy to get a hold of a weapon in our country if they so choose,” she said.
