(Video) Sen. Boxer: Komen’s decision reminiscent of ‘McCarthy era’

The Hill reports:

Criticizing the Susan G. Komen Foundation’s to defund Planned Parenthood, Sen. Barbra Boxer (D-Calif.) said Thursday the breast cancer foundation was getting involved in a “political witch hunt.”

"I’m reminded of the McCarthy era" Boxer said on MSNBC’s "Andrea Mitchell Reports," a period she described as “a congressman stands up, a senator, [and says] 'I’m investigating this organization and therefore people should stop funding them.' ”

McCarthyism if you don't want to fund someone!
