Stephen Miller Says Democrats Just Dropped ‘One Of The Dumbest Talking Points’ Yet Against SAVE Act
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller said Friday evening on “Hannity” that Democrats have come up with “one of the dumbest talking points” against the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act that he’s heard of.
Only four Democrats joined Republican House lawmakers on Thursday to pass the SAVE Act, which requires states to obtain proof of citizenship before individuals can register to vote in federal elections.
Fox’s Sean Hannity highlighted how Democrats have pushed back against the legislation by saying it would keep married women from voting due to their surnames no longer matching their birth certificates. He asked Miller why anyone would be against the bill.
“The only reason, Sean, you would be against any of that is if you wanted illegal aliens to vote and to vote in incredibly large numbers. So let’s just deal with all of this BS right now,” Miller said.
“Every other country in the world of any note requires an ID to vote,” Miller added. “The notion that Democrats are pushing that married women, who, by the way, are a Republican voting demographic, cannot get ID could be one of the dumbest talking points I have heard in my entire life.”
In an effort to push back against the bill ahead of the House vote, Democrats repeated the claim to voters and constituents, despite Republican lawmakers saying the legislation includes provisions for married women and enables them to register to vote in federal elections.
Miller went on to say that the bill would require citizens to provide proof of American citizenship through documentation that complies with the REAL ID Act of 2005.
“As you said, the Real ID Act creates an ID that you can get at the DMV that demonstrates you’re a citizen,” Miller said. “Democrats want illegal aliens to vote. It’s why Joe Biden and his administration gave millions, we verify this now, millions with an M, of illegal aliens’ Social Security numbers.”
“Once you have a Social Security number, it is incredibly easy to vote, to collect welfare, to get free government benefits, to participate in every aspect of American life,” Miller said. “This isn’t a mystery. They want illegals to steal elections, Sean.”
While Democrats have attempted to criticize the bill and claim it would lead to “voter suppression,” Americans have supported voter verification. According to an October 2024 Gallup poll, 84% of respondents said they support requiring photo identification to vote, with 83% saying they support proof of citizenship in order to register to vote.
