Billionaire Rick Caruso, who’s seeking to be Los Angeles mayor, is facing criticism from Planned Parenthood on past contributions to Republican lawmakers following a leaked report that signaled the Supreme Court would strike down Roe v. Wade.
In a two-page letter released Tuesday, Planned Parenthood asked Caruso to explain the almost $1 million he gave to lawmakers, including top Republican congressional leaders Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy, as well as former presidential candidate John Kasich, who all said they oppose abortion.
