Carly Fiorina calls Jeb Bush's comments on women's health 'foolish'
Following Thursday's first Fox News debate, Carly Fiorina went after fellow Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush for saying earlier in the week that he was "not sure we need half a billion dollars for women's health issues."
"I think it's going to become an ad in a Democrat campaign," she told Bloomberg. "Hillary Clinton jumped all over it for a reason — because she saw an opportunity. And it is foolish to say that women's health isn't a priority. Of course it's a priority. We can talk later about how and where that money gets spent. But it is Democrats who want to talk about women's health when they talk about Planned Parenthood."
After Bush's remarks were made public, he posted a statement to his website saying he "misspoke."
