The lesser-known fourth member of the dim squad thinks now is the time to empty out the prisons because coronavirus is scary when you're locked up behind bars.
No, we're not kidding - she's being totally and completely serious.
The Democrats want you locked in your house like a prisoner but actual prisoners should be freed from jail.
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), one of the coveted members of "The Squad," told Rev. Al Sharpton prisoners should be granted clemency or have their sentences commuted because of the Wuhan coronavirus. According to the member of Congress, this is one way to help alleviate the spread of the disease.
“This pandemic, COVID-19, has certainly crossed every socio, ratio and political fault line in our country and I'm just advocating to make sure that when we’re talking about our most vulnerable – our low-income residents and citizens, those experiencing homelessness, our seniors – that we are also including the incarcerated men and women, who are certainly amongst one of the most vulnerable populations and given the crowding and overpopulating in our prisons for a confluence of other reasons ... are an ecosystem in a petri dish for the spreading of this pandemic, which is why I partnered with my colleagues, Reps. Velasquez, Ocasio-Cortez and Talib, to lobby the bureau of prisons to use the full power and to communicate guidance for how we will contain and mitigate this epidemic behind the wall," she explained.
Specifically, Pressley said she wants to know if prisons and jails have access to Wuhan coronavirus testing, if any inmates have tested positive and what their quarantine measures look like.
WASHINGTON, DC - FEBRUARY 27: (L-R) Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) listen as Michael Cohen, former attorney and fixer for President Donald Trump, testifies before the House Oversight Committee on Capitol Hill February 27, 2019 in Washington, DC. Last year Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison and ordered to pay a $50,000 fine for tax evasion, making false statements to a financial institution, unlawful excessive campaign contributions and lying to Congress as part of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential elections.
