Piers Morgan: Bernie Sanders’ plan to let serving felons chose our leaders is ‘utter lunacy’
By Jon Dougherty
During an appearance on Fox News‘ Tucker Carlson program Wednesday evening, Daily Mail editor-at-large Piers Morgan panned 2020 Democratic presidential contender Sen. Bernie Sanders’ call to allow serving felons the privilege of voting to help select our leaders as “utter lunacy.”
“You know, Tucker, I was watching the CNN town hall with Bernie Sanders when he said what he said about the Boston Marathon bomber, and I literally spat my drink out,” Morgan — never one to hold back — told Carlson. “It was a nice glass of red wine, so it was a senseless waste of good alcohol.”
That happened, Morgan continued, “because I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.”
Sanders, Morgan noted, is a frontrunner for the 2020 Democratic nomination — someone the party hopes could beat POTUS Donald Trump. “And their main selling point at a CNN town hall is that they want the Boston Marathon bomber to be able to vote while he’s in prison, while he’s on death row?”
“Whilst you say, ‘don’t mock it,’ how can we not mock it?” Morgan continued. “This is the stuff of utter lunacy.”
