Guess what part of the above Bernie Sanders statement wasn’t well-received by many Planned Parenthood supporters? Feminist Jessica Valenti led the attempts to tell Sanders they believe Planned Parenthood’s vocal opponents might as well have pulled the trigger themselves:

Little is known about the man accused of the attack, but the narrative has been distributed and even Bernie Sanders was accused of failing to toe the line properly:
@JessicaValenti @BernieSanders insulting, ignorant rhetoric from another powerful white male. #IStandWithPP

also, these consequences are NOT unintended. This is why I worry that you don't *really* get what's happening. https://t.co/CFssFeJNTt

@berniesanders …and, sadly, sometimes INTENDED consequences!

Nothing "unintended" about those consequences. #StandWithPP https://t.co/rylXEuzId5

@BernieSanders @JohnnyDee62 I'm not sure the consequences are "unintended". People speaking the bitter rhetoric know what will happen.

"Unintended" my ass. Extremists have been attacking abortion providers for decades. Ppl know what they're inciting. https://t.co/MygCWeWLFU

@BernieSanders they know the consequences and want it to happen. This the gop silence after the attack

@BernieSanders not sure why you think it's unintended. This is their goal.

This isn't 'unintended consequence' of calling abortion providers & ppl seeking abortions 'murders'. Very intended. https://t.co/Pd9x4ekLOj

That's completely asinine. Maybe you aren't the right pick after all. https://t.co/KoBVF7TAjG

@BernieSanders Don’t know that these consequences are unintended.
