(Bloomberg Politics) — Hillary Clinton didn't use Jeb Bush's name on Friday, but her attack on the former Florida governor was hardly veiled as she spoke ahead of him at a gathering of African-American activists in Florida.
"I don't think you can credibly say that everyone has a right to rise and then say you're for phasing out Medicare or for repealing Obamacare," Clinton said at the National Urban League's annual conference in Fort Lauderdale, alluding to Right to Rise, the super-PAC backing Bush's candidacy. "People can't rise if they can't afford health care. They can't rise if the minimum wage is too low to live on. They can't rise if their governor makes it harder for them to get a college education. And you cannot seriously talk about the right to rise and support laws that deny the right to vote."
The Democratic front-runner spoke not long before Bush, a Republican, was scheduled to address the same crowd. It's the first time since the start of the presidential race that the two candidates have both spoken to the same group on the same day.
Clinton warned that Bush's rhetoric wouldn't necessarily match up with his actions.
