Planned Parenthood Head: Women Voting for Cruz Like ‘Chicken Voting for Colonel Sanders’

Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards campaigned with Hillary Clinton today and criticized the very idea of women supporting Republicans like Ted Cruz.

Richards fired up the crowd when she invoked the name of her mother, the late Democratic Texas Governor Ann Richards.

SHe went on to say, “A woman voting for Ted Cruz is like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders.”

Some conservatives couldn’t help put jump on that wording:

Colonel Sanders- Figurehead of a national organization known for buying & selling parts of animals. Bad analogy @CecileRichards
