Clinton uses Foster defeat to attack GOP
President Clinton used Foster’s failed nomination to attack right wing extremism and Republican lawmakers over abortion policy. He spoke from Pine Bluff, Arkansas, tying the defeat to GOP obstruction and vowing to defend a woman’s right to choose. The White House framed the loss as a test of 1996 campaign lines, while Gramm criticized Clinton’s agenda.
