Related: About this forumOn women's health, Clinton compares Republicans to 'terrorist groups'
Cleveland, Ohio (CNN)Hillary Clinton compared Republican presidential candidates who hold conservative views on abortion and women's reproductive rights to "terrorist groups" in a Cleveland speech on Thursday.
During a riff where the candidate name checked Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, Clinton said Republicans are "dead wrong 21st century America."
"Now, extreme views about women, we expect that from some of the terrorist groups, we expect that from people who don't want to live in the modern world, but it's a little hard to take from Republicans who want to be the president of the United States," Clinton said. "Yet they espouse out of date, out of touch policies. They are dead wrong for 21st century America. We are going forward, we are not going back."
Clinton regularly hits Republicans on women's rights but Thursday's line was a departure from her usual talking points.
