After her chief of staff endorsed voting rights for prisoners, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. hit back at critics by suggesting they improperly focused on criminals like the Boston bomber. In a series of tweets from Thursday, Ocasio-Cortez said that in order to avoid looking "utterly out of touch," people question whether a non-violent criminal should lose the right to vote.
