Jeb Bush says he 'misspoke' on Planned Parenthood funding after getting slammed by Hillary Clinton on Twitter
The former Secretary of State criticized Bush in a tweet over his calls to defund the organization, following the release of controversial videos showing a company representative discussing harvesting fetal tissue from aborted fetuses.
Bush's comments about Planned Parenthood also included an apparently aside in which he said he was "not sure we need half-billion dollars for women's health issues," a reference to the federal funding Planned Parenthood receives.
Clinton has shown that she's unlikely to play nice with Bush, who she views as a possible general-election matchup next year.
Speaking before Bush at the National Urban League conference over the weekend, Clinton criticized Bush immediately before he was set to take the stage, slamming him over his opposition to the Affordable Care Act and raising the minimum wage.
"People can't rise if they can't afford health care," Clinton said, mocking the name of the super PAC, "Right to Rise," that supports Bush.
"They can't rise if the minimum wage is too low to live on."
Tuesday's tweet appears to be part of an emerging Clinton strategy of engaging directly with her Republican rivals online.
