Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has claimed that the prevention of felons being able to vote is a “legacy” of slavery in America.
AOC Talks Nonsense About Felon Voting
Ocasio-Cortez believes that felon disenfranchisement, a system perpetuated by 48 states that prevents convicted felons from having the right to vote, is grossly unjust. On an Instagram livestream, the freshman congresswoman rattled off a number of reasons why someone may not be eligible to vote in national elections in the United States.
[snip] Whilst this may sound like complete crazy talk to ordinary citizens, it is not only Ocasio-Cortez who is in favor of convicted, violent felons being given the chance to decide who runs this beautiful country. Only last year, both Senator Bernie Sanders and Vice Presidential candidate Kamala Harris said that they were open to allowing the Boston marathon bomber the chance to vote in prison!

It’s..it’s...it’s....
RRRRAAAAACCIISSSSMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!
She’s really saying blacks are a bunch of criminals.
AOC is a slave to stupidity.................
The problem isn't what AOC says, per se, but that people actually listen to her and act on the idiocy she spews.
Is there any Democrat who isn’t racist with regards to how they view black people?
They’re living proof of the old adage “when you point a finger at someone else, you have three fingers pointing back at you”.
How anybody takes her seriously is beyond me. Most people would kaugh at her stupid comments but the democrats applaud her. Very sad.
“...But not while you are a ward of the state.”
Is there any chance she will fade away from the public eye? From congress? From being in charge?
“Up With Felons!”
>>But not while you are a ward of the state.
Indiana doesn’t let welfare addicts vote? I did not know that...
At least she’s never known the pain of an ice cream headache
No, it’s not a legacy of slavery. It’s a legacy of their criminal behavior.
Take this moron to one of the many maximum security prisons and Rikers among barbarians who will shred a women and have her sit in a court room where a felon sits as the family of a victim who was brutally raped and beaten watches. She wouldn’t even have a chance in her own Queens/Bronx and DC ghetto neighborhood at night when the freaks come out. She lives in a cocoon.
How about her legacy of stupidity?
When you commit certain crimes there are consequences.No voting...and no firearms...for convicted felons seems just about right to me!
disenfranchised?
like voters across America who will have their votes stolen this upcoming election by AOC’s kind.. or better yet, tossed in the trash along with the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Like just about everybody I believe ex felons
deserve a second chance. I also believe gay
people should be treated fairly in the workplace.
But, I’ll be damned if I will ever pretend that
anyone’s personal minority status earns them the
hero status the left insists we bestow,
BananaGobbler should gobble bananas and not try to speak.
It never works out.
She probably never read the 13th Amendment:
“Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime...”
