Cory Booker jabs at voting rights for incarcerated felons

Sen. Cory Booker criticized fellow Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders’ idea of giving incarcerated felons, including convicted terrorists, voting rights.

“Let’s get this conversation back to where it is right now. Our prison population in this country has gone up 500% since 1980 alone. We locked up more people for marijuana in 2017 than all the violent crimes combined,” Booker said in a PBS interview. “And so here we have a nation that takes away people’s liberty and their right to vote for doing things that two of the last three presidents admitted to doing.”
