“So, I believe people who commit crimes, they pay the price and they get out of jail, they certainly should have the right to vote,” Sanders said. “But, I believe even if they are in jail, they’re paying the price to society, but that should not take away their inherent American right to participate in our democracy.”To Sanders’ way of thinking all people save Hillary Clinton dubbed “deplorables” have an “inherent American right” to participate in a “democracy” that in reality, is a Republic.
“If somebody commits a serious crime—sexual assault, murder, they’re gonna be punished. They may be in jail for 10 years, 20 years, 50 years, their whole lives. That’s what happens when you commit a serious crime. (Fox23)If only, Bernie Sanders, if only!
“But, I think the right to vote is inherent to our democracy. Yes, even for terrible people, because once you start chipping away and you say, ‘That guy committed a terrible crime, not gonna let him vote. Well, that person did that. Not gonna let that person vote,’ you’re running down a slippery slope.” (Fox23)“Senator Sanders home state of Vermont is one of two states that allow felons to vote while they are behind bars, with Maine being the other state.” (Breitbart, April 23, 2019)
“Ahead of the 2020 presidential election, as Breitbart News has reported, organizations funded by billionaire George Soros are working to restore the voting rights of about 1.4 million felons in Florida after the state approved the measure last year.”Lest anyone forget: “On April 15, 2013, double bombings near the finish line of the Boston Marathon killed three people and injured at least 264. ... The bombs exploded 12 seconds apart near the marathon's finish line on Boylston Street.” (CNN, April 9, 2019) One of the convicted bombers is the terrorist Sanders now wishes to extend the right to vote to.
“Harris called the issue of allowing felons to vote in prison “complex” and said she was going to “talk to experts” about the matter. “She added that there was “a lot of work to do” regarding 6 million people who are currently in prison without voting rights. “Do I think that people who commit murder, people who are terrorists should be deprived of their rights? Yeah, I do. I’m a prosecutor,” Harris said. “There has to be serious consequences for the most extreme types of crimes.” “Also during Monday night’s town hall, Harris joined her colleague, U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., in calling for President Trump’s impeachment. She also vowed to take executive action on gun control if Congress doesn’t act in her first 100 days in office as president.In other words, Dem desperadoes like Harris want to remove the 2nd Amendment from American masses, but grant voting privileges to those who kill people with bombs. The sleazy Gamesmanship of the Desperado Dems, transparent in 2016, is showing clearly now.
