'Senator Brick Tamland’: Sen. Angus King's analogy to Planned Parenthood defunding bill 'makes zero sense'

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."

So basically, he has no idea what "analogy" means? https://t.co/YYYtqdSIvI

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

So he's saying it wasn't Planned Parenthood on those tapes?@jamiedupree https://t.co/636VFOirz9

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