On the day a House panel heard testimony from the CEO of Planned Parenthood, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) compared the reproductive health organization and the Benghazi attack, another controversy known for prompting fireworks on Capitol Hill.

“#PlannedParenthood isn’t a ‘healthcare provider’ any more than #Benghazi was a ‘spontaneous protest,'” the 2016 candidate tweeted.

Republicans are seeking to defund Planned Parenthood over claims in anti-abortion “sting” videos that the organization was harvesting fetal tissue for profit.
