As Jeb Bush waited to speak to delegates to the Urban League conference in Fort Lauderdale, Hillary Clinton took shot after political shot aimed at taking away the former Florida Governor's home field advantage. The New York Times reports that Clinton, who spoke first, took several pointed shots at Bush as he waited backstage.

Clinton took aim at Bush's "Right to Rise" campaign slogan and turned it against him in a speech aimed at saying that she, and not Bush, could deliver on issues she said were related to race:

“People can’t rise if they can’t afford health care,” Mrs. Clinton said to applause from convention goers, a dig at Mr. Bush’s opposition to the Affordable Care Act.

“They can’t rise if the minimum wage is too low to live on,” she said, a jab at his opposition to raising the federal minimum wage.

“They can’t rise if their governor makes it harder for them to get a college education,” she said, a critique of Mr. Bush’s decision as governor to eliminate affirmative action in college admissions.

When Mr. Bush reached the lectern, declaring, “I believe in the right to rise in this country,” the scent of political gunpowder was still in the air.

The Times points out that the Bush and Clinton families do not take such partisan shots at each other often, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush even appearing together on this week's cover of Time magazine. While Jeb Bush chose not to respond to Hillary Clinton's swipes, his staff did:

On Twitter, Tim Miller, Mr. Bush’s communications director, called it a “Clintonesque move to pass over chance to unite in favor of a false cheap shot.”

Allie Brandenburger, another spokeswoman for Mr. Bush, followed up with an email saying, “The Urban League deserved better.”
