Left-wing actress Alyssa Milano was arrested during a voting rights protest at the White House.
The issue of “voting rights” is obsolete, Becker News notes.
All adult citizens in the United States already have the right to vote, unless they are convicted felons in some states.
“I was just arrested for demanding the Biden Administration and the Senate to use their mandate to protect voting rights.” Milano tweeted.
“Stand with me and @peoplefor and tell the Senate and White House that voting rights shouldn’t depend on where you live,” she added.

More from Becker News:
Protesting for “voting rights” is thus tantamount to rioting for the end of slavery or rallying for women’s suffrage. It may make you feel like a social justice warrior, but those civil rights battles were already won by people a lot braver decades and even centuries ago.
No wonder Milano and her far-left comrades are seeking a bit of that vicarious glory from 1960s protests that sought to end Democrat policies like Jim Crow laws. But current voting laws that seek to protect election integrity have nothing to do with Jim Crow laws, no matter what failed ‘entitled‘ gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams says.

“Actress Alyssa Milano was arrested during a voting rights protest at the White House on Tuesday as the Senate gears up for a vote on the Freedom to Vote Act, a scaled-back version of the voting rights bill that Senate Republicans blocked in June,” the Hill reported.
“Milano announced her arrest in a tweet Tuesday afternoon. She said she had been demonstrating with People for the American Way, a progressive nonprofit organization that advocates for equal rights and constitutional liberties,” the report added.
Earlier, it appeared that Milano was intending to get arrested if necessary to bring more visibility to her phony cause. The arrests were widely reported and the League of Women Voters touted the tiny protest…
A Bernie Sanders delegate noted that there were about 25 “patriots” in attendance at the protest.
