Kohn also dragged Planned Parenthood into the argument somehow.
Calling abortion clinics “baby killers” is rhetoric that incites violence.

This isn’t the first time Kohn has made inflammatory statements in the immediate wake of a tragedy.
Back in June, she used the Pulse Nightclub shooting as an excuse to go after Christian conservatives. (RELATED: Kohn Shifts Blame To Christians After Islamic Terror Attack In Orlando)
