‘America’s Got Talent’ host Nick Cannon decided to get really political when he sat down for a recent interview.

Departing from his usual comedic air, he spoke out about the election, saying democratic nominee Hillary Clinton was ‘sneaking and cheating,’ according to NY Daily News. 

He then pivoted to attack Planned Parenthood, “Think about all the stuff they did with Planned Parenthood and all that type of stuff. That type of stuff is to take our community — and forget gentrification, it’s real genocide, and it’s been like that for years,” he told the radio show’s hosts.

While Cannon would be historically correct to acknowledge Planned Parenthood’s sordid founder, Margaret Sanger, who was a supporter of eugenics,  his biased commentary doesn’t acknowledge the preventative services that modern Planned Parenthood provides to low income women including cancer screenings and birth control.

When will the one-sided conversation about Planned Parenthood end?
