Related: About this forumTYT: Liberals Blamed For Planned Parenthood Attack
The terrorist attack at the Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood clinic hadnt even finished before conservative media began to speculate about the attackers motivations. Some GOP candidates have simply refused to talk about it. Some havent. Ana Kasparian (The Point) and John Iadarola (Think Tank), hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Fiorina also responded to the shooting Sunday, calling the attack a tragedy. But she denied that rhetoric about Planned Parenthood selling babies body parts could have contributed to violence towards the organization.
Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace asked Sunday whether language by Fiorina, who Wallace called one of the toughest critics of Planned Parenthoods alleged harvesting of body parts, could have incited violence against the organization. Fiorina brushed off the idea and reiterated claims that Planned Parenthood sells baby parts.
First, it is not alleged, she said. Planned Parenthood acknowledged several weeks ago they would no longer take compensation for body parts, which sounds like an admission they were doing so.
Fiorina has been hugely critical of Planned Parenthood during her campaign, calling for the organization to be defunded and using graphic language to describe abortions. But she reiterated Sunday that she doesnt think thats contributed to violence towards Planned Parenthood.
This is so typical of the left to immediately demonize the messenger, because they dont agree with the message, she said. What I would say to anyone who tries to link this terrible tragedy to anyone who opposes abortion or opposes the sale of body parts is, this is typical left-wing tactics.*
