There are a lot of CNN town halls going on tonight — Amy Klobuchar, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris, and Pete Buttigieg are all getting their hour in the spotlight — so a lot of crazy things are being said. Yes, Sanders doubled down on calling the current Israeli government racist, but he really showed his commitment to increasing voter turnout by saying that even the Boston Marathon bomber should be allowed to vote from prison.

If you had any doubt about how radical the Democrat Party has become, their 2020 frontrunner wants to let terrorists convicted of murdering American citizens vote from prison. It’s beyond extreme.pic.twitter.com/xEtJziDfna — Ronna McDaniel (@GOPChairwoman) April 23, 2019

So there’s, like, literally nothing you could do that could cost you your right to vote under a Sanders administration.

Bernie thinks the Boston Bomber should be able to vote in prison. Hooooooboy. #SandersTownHall — Kate Hyde (@KateHydeNY) April 23, 2019

The vote of that monster canceling out the vote of Sean Collier, the 26-year-old cop he murdered = "social justice" to Bernie. https://t.co/X5bdOR4UBI — David Steinberg ?? (@realDSteinberg) April 23, 2019

They don't mind where the support comes from. Bernie will happily take the Tsarnaev vote the way Barack took the Ayers vote. — Ant (@AA63er) April 23, 2019

He’s gonna be killin’ it with the killer segment!#ConsForCommies! — T.S. Pithos (@tspithos) April 23, 2019

Bernie you are a freakin’ nut job. — Edward Giugliano (@EdwardGiugliano) April 23, 2019

bye bye Bernie — Henry Martone (@mdvannostrand) April 23, 2019

But seriously, folks: of all the Democrats who’ve actually declared, he’s running in first place by a large margin.

Update:

Kamala Harris was up to bat right after Sanders and seemed open to the idea of letting terrorists vote; it’s something we really should talk about:

Oof. Asked about Bernie supporting the Boston Bomber, those on death row having the right to vote, Harris said… “I think we should have that conversation.”#awkwardsilence — Josh Kraushaar (@HotlineJosh) April 23, 2019
