That is what Republicans are attacking her for. ISIS claims their religious faith justifies forcing Yazidi women in Iraq into sexual slavery. Does Governor Bush think we should respect that practice? The Taliban torture women in Afghanistan in the name of their twisted version of Islam. Does Governor Jindal think that is acceptable? What about forced marriages, honor killings, throwing acid in women’s faces? If Republicans think standing up to these atrocities is part of Hillary Clinton’s progressive agenda, we are proud to agree. As a woman of faith herself, she won’t hesitate to condemn those who distort religious beliefs to justify barbaric actions. Such distortions are a grave affront to both the girls and women who being persecuted, as well as the religions these barbarians attempt to use as cover for these heinous acts. *From:* Jennifer Palmieri [mailto:[email protected]] *Sent:* Friday, June 19, 2015 3:34 PM *To:* Joel Benenson *Cc:* Adrienne Elrod; Mandy Grunwald; Kristina Schake; Jim Margolis; Christina Reynolds; Karen Finney; Huma Abedin; Robby Mook; Tony Carrk; Dan Schwerin; Lily Adams; John Podesta; Jake Sullivan; Ann O'Leary; Matt Paul; Brian Fallon; Teddy Goff; Katie Dowd; Maya Harris *Subject:* Re: 2016 GOP HIT - HILLARY CLINTON Jindal hit her on it today, too. Given that development, consensus in Brooklyn is that we put the John statement out today.

Christina - would you send the John statement back around so folks can see latest? We thought we would give the statement to Rosie Gray of Buzzfeed first. She covers the republicans - think she will be more sympathetic to our argument than one of our reporters. What do folks think of this approach?

"I don't think we should politicize our faith," he said, speaking in a state where evangelical Christians wield significant political influence. "I think religion ought to be about making us better as people and less about things that end up getting into the political realm." His comments came on the eve of an encyclical by Pope Francis that is expected to endorse the scientific view that human activity contributes to climate change — a conclusion challenged by many Republicans and several of the party's candidates for president. Bush, who converted to Catholicism, suggested he will not be beholden to a faith-driven policy agenda wherever it comes from because his religion is a personal beacon, not a political roadmap. "I go to church to have my faith nourished, to have my faith challenged," the former Florida governor told reporters after the outdoor meeting with about 75 eastern Iowa Republicans in the backyard of a local supporter. "That's why I go to Mass. I don't go to Mass for economic policy or for things in politics." On the coming encyclical, he said he would read and reflect on it. "I think Pope Francis is an extraordinary leader of a church whose teachings I try to follow, and it doesn't need to get any more complicated than that," Bush said. "But I think it's better to solve this in the political realm." Bush has said he accepts the scientific premise that the climate is changing and believes that examining the causes should be a priority. But he's contended that the science is not clear on how much global warming comes from human activity. Bush, on his first visit to Iowa as a declared candidate, was asked at a public event what he would do to put God in public life. He sidestepped somewhat, saying he would more broadly promote the defense of religious liberty. "The next president needs to establish religious freedom as one of the first freedoms," he said. Daniel Wright, a 32-year-old electronics salesman from eastern Iowa, said Bush was unafraid of the question, which impressed him, but he felt he dodged it. "Specifically, I was talking about God, not religion collectively, from a Christian point of view," Wright said. "I would have loved to have kept the question on God and not religion as a whole." It was a rapid introduction to Iowa caucus politics for Bush, whose positions on immigration and education have raised questions among some on the right about whether he's conservative enough. He's been reaching out to influential Christian conservatives for months but has spent less time in Iowa than some other leading rivals. Iowa Christian conservative groups have already held gatherings for activists where presidential prospects have spoken, though Bush has not. Some candidates also aggressively court pastors, who can be influential among parishioners, especially in evangelically conservative northwest Iowa. It's a segment of Republican primary voters that is also influential in parts of South Carolina, where Bush travels Thursday. At least eight candidates have confirmed they plan to participate in the July conference of the Iowa Family Leader, a Christian-based policy group. Bush has not attended any such events, although he went to an Iowa agricultural policy conference and the Iowa Republican Party's spring dinner last month. The past two caucus winners were former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee in 2008, and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum in 2012, both of whom heavily courted evangelical Christians. *From:* Joel Benenson [mailto:[email protected]] *Sent:* Wednesday, June 17, 2015 6:03 PM *To:* Karen Finney *Cc:* Huma Abedin; Christina Reynolds; Jennifer Palmieri; Robby Mook; Mandy Grunwald; Tony Carrk; Jim Margolis; Dan Schwerin; Lily Adams; [email protected]; Jake Sullivan; Ann O'Leary; Matt Paul; Kristina Schake; Brian Fallon; Teddy Goff; Katie Dowd; Maya Harris *Subject:* Re: 2016 GOP HIT - HILLARY CLINTON Defer to comms but that won't turn it into a fight we want.

In fact, Hillary Clinton said something about a month ago that was just striking to me. Because I've given this a lot of thought and I'm deeply troubled about not just Christian persecution in around the world, but also now this belief that if you believe in God or I'm a Catholic and I'm informed by my faith on a lot of things that somehow you just got to get over it. And she said something to the effect of if your religious beliefs comes in conflict with a woman's right to choose or something or some other social issue you just got to get over it. Well I respect people who may not agree with my views. I'm not judgmental. I'm not here to say I'm righteous and therefore you're not. 12:03 But we're now at a point where people who do have faith and it guides their decisions, that somehow they need us to keep it in a lock box somewhere. Keep it at home and you can't go act on it. And I think that is where we take our stand. I think people of faith have created a better country, a more loving place where people act on their faith to deal with children that are abandoned and abused, to deal with the homeless, to deal with people that are just getting out of prison.

So think our language needs work to make that clear - like specifically name check groups that do these kinds of practices so it is clear who we are talking about. Maybe do a "catalog of sins," as Mandy calls it. 4) For all these reasons, I would wait and do this tomorrow. I get NALEO is not amazing place to do this either, but better.

But he got in the hilarious juvenile “That’s what she said!” joke, and that’s all reporters talked about. In fact Bush pulled that small quote from Clinton’s inspiring “Women in the World” speech in April – and in doing so, shamelessly distorted its meaning. And he got his slur from the far right: Glenn Beck’s The Blaze <http://www.theblaze.com/blog/2015/04/27/hillary-clinton-says-religious-beliefs-have-to-be-changed-on-abortion-heres-why-thats-ironic/> and Tucker Carlson’s Daily Caller <http://dailycaller.com/2015/04/23/hillary-on-abortion-deep-seated-cultural-codes-religious-beliefs-and-structural-biases-have-to-be-changed/> tried to make the case that Clinton’s words applied to domestic disputes over abortion and contraception at the time – but nobody fell for it, because it was such a silly claim. So far, Bush has gotten away with it. But he shouldn’t. Clinton was talking about countries where girls don’t go to high school, where domestic violence is legal, where high maternal mortality rates are tolerated. And she did say: “Deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs, and structural biases have to be changed.” Look at those four words in the context of her speech. Here’s what Clinton said: Yes, we’ve nearly closed the global gender gap in primary school, but secondary school remains out of reach for so many girls around the world. Yes, we’ve increased the number of countries prohibiting domestic violence, but still more than half the nations in the world have no such laws on the books, and an estimated one in three women still experience violence. Yes, we’ve cut the maternal mortality rate in half, but far too many women are still denied critical access to reproductive health care and safe childbirth. All the laws we’ve passed don’t count for much if they’re not enforced. Rights have to exist in practice, not just on paper. Laws have to be backed up with resources and political will. And deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs, and structural biases have to be changed. As I have said and as I believe, the advancement of the full participation of women and girls at every aspect of their societies is the great unfinished business of the 21st century, and not just for women but for everyone — and not just in far away countries but right here in the United States. So does Jeb Bush object to any or all of that? Is he against closing the gender gap in education in the developing world? (In the U.S., women outpace men in educational attainment, so Clinton clearly wasn’t talking about this country.) Is he for domestic violence (the same is true; we have those laws here)? Does he oppose efforts to cut the maternal mortality rate? What, exactly, is objectionable in what Clinton said? Bush, of course, put Clinton’s words in an entirely different context: the domestic battle over the “conscience clause” in the Affordable Care Act, and the larger clash over so-called “religious freedom” laws around marriage equality. And here’s what he said: These have been rough years for religious charities and their right of conscience. And the leading Democratic candidate recently hinted of more trouble to come. Secretary Clinton insists that when the progressive agenda encounters religious beliefs to the contrary, those beliefs, quote, “have to be changed.” That’s what she said, and I guess we should at least thank her for the warning. “That’s what she said.” Nyuk-nyuk. Bush went on to hit the high point of his speech, his defense of the Little Sisters of the Poor, a group of Catholic nuns who have objected to using the conscience clause in the ACA that would let them refuse to provide contraception to employees. Now remember: there *is* a conscience clause that lets religious charities out of the contraception mandate. Some feminist groups weren’t happy about its addition to the law. But the Little Sisters sued the federal government claiming that even having to exercise that option – signing a paper attesting to their religious objection to the law – infringes their religious freedom, and might open the door to a third party providing contraception. (The government says it doesn’t.) Bush ignored all that, of course, and delivered this applause line: “It comes down to a choice between the Little Sisters and Big Brother, and I’m going with the Sisters.” It got him a huge ovation, though I thought it was dangerous for him to bring up the notion of “Big Brother,” given that his own big brother’s failed presidency haunts his campaign. But back to the point: Hillary Clinton didn’t suggest that the religious beliefs of the Little Sisters of the Poor, or anyone else, “have to be changed.” Bush knows that. And he got away with the blatant misrepresentation of her views, until now. Just like he got away with claiming last week that the unwed mother-shaming Scarlet Letter law Florida adopted while he was governor <http://www.salon.com/2015/06/11/jeb%E2%80%99s_pathetic_%E2%80%9Cshame%E2%80%9D_defense_all_that_talk_about_marginalizing_single_moms_was_really_directed_at_men/> was actually designed to increase child support collection. Since it only applied to cases where unmarried mothers were giving up children for adoption, it had absolutely nothing to do with child support. Bush either lied, or didn’t care enough to remember one of the most controversial policy debates of his tenure. So far, though, the only mainstream criticism of Bush’s campaign holds that it’s “joyless <http://www.buzzfeed.com/mckaycoppins/jeb-bush-embarks-on-least-joyful-campaign-ever#.xfnKGJ1j7D>.” I agree with that assessment, but that’s the least of it. Bush does seem like he’s playing the self-sacrificing grownup running a reluctant campaign made necessary by the juveniles in his party, and that dynasty in the other party. Watch him use his large war chest to try to joylessly destroy all of them in the weeks to come. *From:* [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] *On Behalf Of *Tony Carrk *Sent:* Wednesday, June 17, 2015 11:25 AM *To:* HRCRR *Subject:* FW: 2016 GOP HIT - HILLARY CLINTON *From:* Brinster, Jeremy [mailto:[email protected]] *Sent:* Wednesday, June 17, 2015 11:23 AM *To:* [email protected] *Cc:* Dillon, Lauren *Subject:* 2016 GOP HIT - HILLARY CLINTON *Gov.
