NBC Nightly News seized Tuesday on Jeb Bush’s comments concerning women’s health that “may have ignited a new flashpoint in the race for president” and instead of focusing on the Planned Parenthood baby parts scandal, the network gushed over Hillary Clinton “firing back” and “blasting” Bush for his word choice after the Democratic candidate had “been so much on the defensive.”

In the show’s opening tease, anchor Lester Holt declared that there was “[d]eveloping news as we come on the air” as “a fight erupts late today” with “[w]hat Jeb Bush said about women's health that has Hillary Clinton firing back.”
