Singer Alicia Keys has a very sultry Valentine's Day message for Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-Wis.): Support criminal justice reform.
In a short video released Thursday, Keys uses her best come-hither voice to ask Ryan to "bring justice reform to a vote so we can keep families together and reunite those that have been unjustly torn apart by excessive incarceration instead of just getting the help they needed." Ryan promised, also on Thursday, to do exactly that.
