‘You Are Lying’: GOP Lawmakers Blast Hillary Clinton For Her Latest ‘Voter Suppression’ Claim

Nearly a decade after her flawed performance in the 2016 presidential campaign paved the way for President Donald Trump’s first term, Hillary Clinton is still feigning relevance within the American political world. Most recently, she took aim at Republican lawmakers with a social media post attacking the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, which recently passed in the GOP-led House of Representatives. Update: The House just passed the Republican voter suppression measure that threatens voting access for millions of Americans, including 69 million women whose married names don’t match their birth certificates. Make sure your senators know you expect them to stand against it. https://t.co/cYTismZC4U — Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) April 10, 2025 As the Daily Wire reported: The bill, introduced by Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), seeks to “amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to require proof of United States citizenship to register an individual to vote in elections for Federal office.” It also instructs states to remove noncitizens from voter rolls and establish a process for applicants lacking documentary proof to submit alternative evidence to verify U.S. citizenship. Republican lawmakers responded to Clinton on X, via “quote” because she has replies turned off, by saying that her post was untrue. Here are a few of those responses: Stop. You are lying.

And for the love of God, stop treating women like they are incapable or idiots. https://t.co/7PYl361FyX — Kat Cammack (@Kat_Cammack) April 10, 2025 Hillary Clinton argues that the SAVE Act “threatens voting access” for “69 million women whose married names don’t match their birth certificates” If that were true—and it’s definitely not—the same women would be unemployable as they’d be unable to complete an I-9, which… https://t.co/UzC6XgismP — Mike Lee (@BasedMikeLee) April 10, 2025 MYTH: The SAVE Act restricts married women’s right to vote. FACT: The SAVE Act directs states to establish a process for discrepancies, such as a name change, so that individuals can still register to vote. This bill lists forms of identification that a voter could provide when… pic.twitter.com/TRdlGGJ6Le — Congressman Chuck Edwards (@RepChuckEdwards) April 10, 2025 The bill will need the support of at least seven Democrats to pass in the narrowly divided Senate, but Newsweek reported that a handful of senators in that party are believed to be considering it: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, said in a statement on Thursday that Democrats “will make sure this power grab does not pass the Senate,” describing the bill as a Republican attempt to “disenfranchise millions of American citizens, seize control of our elections, and fan the flames of election skepticism and denialism.” Despite opposition from most Democratic voters, the following four centrist Democrats in the House voted for it: Representatives Ed Case of Hawaii, Henry Cuellar of Texas, Marie Glusenkamp Perez of Washington and Jared Golden of Maine. It’s unclear how many, if any, Senate Democrats will break from the party line to support the legislation, but if the bill is brought to a vote in the Senate, eyes will be on the handful of more moderate Democrats who have been willing to join Republicans on some key votes this year. Two Democratic senators representing competitive states told Newsweek they will not be supporting the bill. In recent remarks from the House floor, Rep. Stephanie Bice (R-OK) defended the bill against criticism by her colleagues across the aisle: What do you think?
