Hillary Clinton sharpens tone, slams GOP 'leadership'
"American moves forward when all women are guaranteed the right to make their own healthcare choices, not when those choices are taken away by an employers like Hobby Lobby," Clinton said, referencing a 2014 Supreme Court ruling that said certain for-profit companies cannot be required to pay for specific types of contraceptives for their employees.
Clinton knocked those "who offer themselves as leaders who see nothing wrong with denying equal pay" and those "who would defund the countries leading provider of family planning and want to let health insurance companies one again charge women just because of our gender," a reference to Planned Parenthood.
"There are those who ofter themselves as leaders who would deport mothers working to give their children a better life rather than risk the ire of talk radio," she said.
Earlier in the day, Clinton heralded the Senate's confirmation of Loretta Lynch, the first African-American female attorney general in U.S. history. Lynch's nomination was delayed for more than five months thanks to political wrangling in the GOP-controlled Senate.
"Been waiting months to say this: Congratulations to Loretta Lynch, officially confirmed as the next AG. Great news for her + for America," Clinton tweeted.
