In an interview with PBS Newshour, Booker called the debate over voting rights for incarcerated felons"frustrating" and suggested it distracts from the larger, more urgent question of mass incarceration, which has been a policy focus of Booker's campaign.
But Sanders went one step further during a CNN town hall in New Hampshire earlier this month, during which he was asked whether he would advocate even for the Boston Marathon bomber, terrorists and others to vote — and he said he would.Read More"My own view is that the right to vote is inalienable if you are an American citizen," Sanders told CNN in a separate interview last week.
Yea let all those guys tear each other apart!
Well that was a really tuff stand to take
Maybe SenBooker has some backbone to not walk lockstep with the Party Line!
Somebody should tell Booker those prospective voters look more like him than Sanders. Booker will get nowhere Uncle Tom-ming. No one gives a uck who his little girlfriend is.
Good. Sanders idea is dumb. Fully restore the rights of people who get out of jail, yes. White Nazis in prison voting? Uh, no.
Can’t wait for the debates when he gets his knickers in a twist defending his horrible voting record....and literally *no one* in America rooting for him as he mansplains us all on capitalist idealism. 💤 💤 💤
Booker, who dat?
They both suck...and neither will win or be anywhere close. Do yourselves a favor and stop both campaigns
Sorry, Cory, but prison takes a man's freedom, NOT his rights.
Love it...let the games begin!
We are worried about felons yet we have well over 50% of legit voters who decide not to vote because they aren’t listened to. Increase voter turnout, then have term limits
Bernie gave Booker a 2nd chance at redemption. AFTER Booker voted against Sanders amendment to allow Americans to get cheaper drugs in Canada, Booker suffered severe backlash. Bernie stood beside him when he announced support for a second Sanders amendment on cheaper drugs.
talk about your own plans!
Cory Booker's argument is that inmates shouldn't vote because it distracts from the issue of having so many inmates. - If let let inmates vote, trust me, people will start to notice inmates.
Good for CoryBooker
I wish he was doing better in the polls
What about people who commit crimes but don't get arrested or convicted like Cory's pharmaceutical buddies?
Wow Corry Booker is still running for president? Who knew?
He's faded out
Cory wouldn't want his buddy T-Bone to vote? WTF
Please keep calling Bernie out. So he can put you out of your misery
Cory booker is ridiculous. Bernie is for actual change! Screw the establishment!
Cory booker is not a rival. He's not even a blip on the fucking radar of Bernie sanders.
Sounds like the champion of the minorities.
Personally, you should be required to vote in the US if.. 1. You are a citizen of the US 2. You have to follow the Laws of the US 3. You pay taxes to one of the States or the Federal Government 4. You are over 18 years old
From across the Atlantic As long as the DEMENTED not voting after serving prison time! ... by the way: TREASON not punished with DEATH anymore?
At least dont let white collar criminals or murderers vote
I thought he dropped out
