I really, really hope that this tweet will be walked back since the right uses “political correctness” as a pejorative term to attacks progressives for standing up for feminism, civil rights for people of color, women, and the disabled.

I wasn’t the only one who noticed the use of “political correctness” in the tweet. Other people reacted too:



x @janeosanders @thenation I find it alarming you are using the terms "fake news" and "political correctness" to downplay vigilance about choice in our party. Ã¢ÂÂ Amy D (@amydipa) April 25, 2017

It's progressive to support hate speech now? Ã¢ÂÂ Sasha Fox (@sasha_a_fox) April 25, 2017

Jane Sanders, please walk back this tweet and apologize for using “political correctness” as a pejorative term against progressives who fight for women to have the right to choose.
