GOP presidential candidate Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) wants Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton to return all donations she received from employees of Planned Parenthood.
Paul attended the “Women Betrayed” rally in D.C. on Tuesday.
“Hillary Clinton’s hands are stained by accepting this money, and she needs to immediately return every red cent she has received from Planned Parenthood employees,” Paul said.
Paul’s statement comes after a report from the Washington Free Beacon that finds Clinton has collected more than $10,000 from at least nine Planned Parenthood employees just since she launched her presidential campaign.
Paul introduced an amendment to the pending highway bill that would defund tax dollars going toward Planned Parenthood, after undercover videos from the Center for Medical Progress claim to show Planned Parenthood officials attempting to sell aborted baby body parts, which is against the law.
His attempt to introduce his amendment was blocked, so Paul introduced a stand-alone measure under Senate Rule 14, which he says could force it on to the calendar for immediate consideration.
Paul vowed the Senate will vote on his measure this week. He also launched a video taking on Planned Parenthood.
