There have been plenty of politicians, media figures and celebs running interference for Planned Parenthood, and Sen. Angus King, an Independent from Maine, made this comparison when discussing a bill to defund PP:
Sen. King (I-Maine): Real issue is fetal tissue research, not @PPFA "To me this bill is like attacking Brazil after Pearl Harbor."

Has said the same thing about sequestration for a while now. Methinks the senator has run out of analogies. https://t.co/Nr2LOWxjZo

We’re not sure what he said, and it’s entirely possible he isn’t either.
