Karen Handel, the politically embattled former vice president of public affairs for Susan G. Komen for the Cure, has broken her silence about her role in the breast cancer charity's decision to defund Planned Parenthood and her decision to step down from her post.

"First of all, I clearly acknowledge that I was involved in the process," she said. "But to suggest that I had the sole authority is just absurd. The process was vetted. The policies were vetted at all the appropriate levels in the organization."

Handel's statement directly contradicts what Komen executives have been telling the public since the decision was announced last week.

"Karen did not have anything to do with this decision," Komen founder Nancy Brinker told MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell on Thursday. "This was decided at the board level and also by our mission."
