Radio host on hunger strike says he wants lawmakers to put voting rights 'on the front burner' when they return from their Thanksgiving recess.

Sirius XM radio host Joe Madison, who is engaged in a hunger strike over what he has called a"politically and morally wrong" attack on voting rights, told CNN on Friday that he wants lawmakers to put voting rights"on the front burner" when they return from their Thanksgiving recess.

Madison's comments come as Democrats, who hold the majority in both chambers of Congress and control the White House, have been pressured to pass legislation on voting rights reform. But Senate Republicans, who hold 50 seats in the chamber, have repeatedly blocked the legislation, and Democrats on the left have increasingly called on their party's senators to gut the Senate's filibuster rule requiring 60 votes to advance most legislation.

Voting rights? And who is denying others the right to vote? But rather to make voting more accountable and trustworthy. Typical distortion from the left.

Totally understood. Apparently too many people seem to misunderstand that voting rights are existential for African Americans.

As you can see he's talking to congress cause the democrats will ALWAYS toss aside voting rights cause they dont care about people to vote if it isn't for their party members

whats sad is i have more faith in this dude dying of starvation than i do anybody prioritizing voting rights

Biden says he is 'considering' diplomatic boycott of 2022 Beijing OlympicsPresident Biden says his administration is considering a diplomatic boycott of the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. Excellent idea since China is now claiming Covid came from a shipment of lobsters from Maine. That'll surely help his popularity NBC would never let this happen. They paid too much for the Olympics. If you think coverage of Biden is bad now (it is) just wait until the Americans don’t go to the Olympics. Oh my.
