”Hateful Rhetoric' Fed Planned Parenthood Arson: Gov.

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee on Saturday called an arson attack on a Planned Parenthood facility in the town of Pullman a "senseless act of violence" and pledged to support the health-care provider, NBC News reported.

"It's deeply disappointing that we still see the kind of hateful rhetoric in our state that fuels this kind of violence," Inslee said in a statement, a day after the fire at the Planned Parenthood building.

The fire was discovered shortly after 3:30 a.m. local time Friday and the building suffered heavy damage.

The Pullman Fire Department, assisted by agents from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, later determined it had been intentionally set.
