Discussion: Sanders criticizes Planned Parenthood + HRC for Clinton endo

Lights and Waves

Quote:

Sanders said several organizations that have backed Clinton’s candidacy, including Planned Parenthood and the Human Rights Campaign, represent the entrenched political class that he is fighting.
“What we are doing in this campaign – and it just blows my mind every day, because I see it clearly, we’re taking on the political establishment,” Sanders said late Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show.”

“And so I have friends and supporters in the Human Rights [Campaign], in Planned Parenthood,” he added. “But you know what? Hillary Clinton has been around there for a very, very long time, and some of these groups are, in fact, part of the establishment.”

Quote:

“Really Senator Sanders?” she tweeted early Wednesday morning. “How can you say that groups like [Planned Parenthood] and [the Human Rights Campaign] are part of the ‘establishment’ you’re taking on?”

Planned Parenthood and the Human Rights Campaign also weighed in on the exchange, saying they were disappointed by Sanders’s comments.

“We respect [Senator Sanders],” Planned Parenthood tweeted late Tuesday evening. “Disappointed to be called ‘establishment’ as we fight like hell to protect women’s health.”

“We share [Planned Parenthood’s] disappointment in Sanders’ attack,” the Human Rights Campaign tweeted Wednesday morning. “[Hillary Clinton] has proudly taken on the establishment & fought for LGBT people for over 30 years.”

Poor choice of words from him. I get what he is saying but it comes out like he is comparing PP to something like Wall Street, something that he has been demonizing from the get go, which doesn't sit well.

Honestly, this kinda makes me lose some respect for him. I still respect him but this just makes him look sour for not getting the endorsements himself. First of all, PP has never endorsed a candidate for president in its history, so how is it even a part of "the establishment"? This is very disappointing. Criticizing support from Wall Street is one thing, but the HRC and PP is another.

Oh well.
