Music superstar Cher hit back at 2020 Democratic frontrunner Sen. Bernie Sanders on Tuesday after he argued that criminals serving time in prison, including the Boston Marathon bomber, should be able to vote.
During a CNN town hall on Monday night, Sanders was asked by a Harvard student if he supports enfranchising people like Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, whom she noted was a convicted terrorist and murderer, as well as those convicted of sexual assault.
Sanders said he wanted a vibrant democracy with a higher voter turnout. He argued that despite being in prison for any crime, everybody can vote and such a right should be given even for terrible people.

“we are graduating kids with no ability to solve problems. THEY HAVE NO LOGIC.”
In other words, “Democrats”.
How about a compromise: Any prisoner that makes it to the polling station without getting shot dead gets to pull the lever.
It’s all a matter of collecting votes for a Democrat. They’ll gladly take the incarcerated because they know that such people are overwhelmingly “Democratic”.
Yes, but only if they vote Democrat!
If it comes down to Bernie or Trump, Cher would stand by a murderer to vote for Bernie.
So in a round-about way, Sanders is admitting that MOST incarcerated felons are socialist/democrats. Otherwise, why would he say such a thing.
The aunt, of a friend of mine, works in a small county jail. She told my friend that when someone is arrested for child or spousal violence they usually trip on the stairs on their way down to the basement jail cell.
If convicted felons voted Republicans, we wouldn’t have kooky politicians talking about their voting rights. Besides, I expect Tsarnaev will vote Democratic after being executed.
Ole Cher’s about to lose her commie card!
Excellent explanation. Thank you Sir!
The Boston Bomber says people on the ‘outside’ can have pressure cookers... why can't he? Isn't he a 'citizen' with rights?
Tagged... I had to edit for space so if you'd rather not have be use it I can drop it... Great reply...
Yep...
The obvious riposte to asserting that the Boston Bombers should be allowed to vote is to ask,
Would you ask them for their votes?
Need photo of Cher wearing a Magna hat : )
I lack in the graphic skills but I know this is probably easy work for some Freepers out there!
