Hillary Clinton knocks Jeb Bush's 'right to rise' at Urban League speech
By Ashley Killough and Dan
Fort Lauderdale, Florida (CNN) Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton come from the highest political pedigree in the United States. And despite the battles their two families have fought against each other, members of the Clintons and the Bushes have formed inextricable bonds.
But politics is politics, so when Clinton took the stage on Friday at the National Urban League conference in Fort Lauderdale - just minutes before Bush would address the same audience -- the former secretary of state leveled some of her most direct attacks against the former Florida governor.
"I don't think you can credibly say that everyone has a right to rise and then say you are for phasing out Medicare and repealing Obamacare," Clinton said, using Bush's "Right to Rise" super PAC name to indirectly -- but clearly -- hit the 2016 Republican candidate.
"They can't rise if the minimum wage is too low to live on," Clinton said. "You cannot seriously talk about the right to rise and support laws that deny the right to vote."
CNN has reached out to Bush's campaign for comment on Clinton's attack.
"Clintonesque move to pass over chance to unite in favor of a false cheap shot. When you have no record of accomplishment to point to," Bush's communications director Tim Miller tweeted shortly after Clinton's speech.

But all eyes are on Clinton and Bush, both of whom are running at or near the top of their fields for their respective party's nomination. It's the first time they'll speak at the same event since announcing their White House bids.
