Politician
July 29, 2022
Opinion: Democrats' attempts to pass voting bills are just a distraction
Rep. William Timmons
Jan. 18, 2022
Tweet - "We've amended the filibuster time and time again, including to raise the debt limit, and our country is still standing. Even if it means waiving the filibuster, the Senate must pass the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act to protect the right to vote."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
Jan. 10, 2022
Graham On Democrats' Plan For Federal Election Takeover, Filibuster
Sen. Lindsey Graham
July 29, 2021
The Hill - Constitutional Rights Are the Exception
Rep. Jim Clyburn, ...
July 13, 2021
Tweet - "Our democracy is at a dangerous inflection point. Carving out an exception to the filibuster for constitutional and voting rights would ensure we can continue our pursuit of a more perfect union. Like @POTUS said today, "The whole world is watching.""
Rep. Jim Clyburn

Rep. Jim Clyburn

Fox News "Fox News Sunday" - Transcript: Interview with Sen. Lindsey Graham
Sen. Lindsey Graham
June 19, 2021
Tweet - "When it comes to the fundamental right to vote, it ought not be subjected to the filibuster. Using the filibuster to subvert access to the ballot box will be disastrous for the future of our democracy."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
June 16, 2021
The Post and Courier - Clyburn: US Senate is fiddling while our democracy burns
Rep. Jim Clyburn
June 16, 2021
Tweet - "Our democracy is on fire & the Senate is fiddling away precious time. Fueled by the big lie, free & fair elections are being suppressed. The Senate makes an exception to the filibuster for the budget -- they ought to do the same to protect voting rights."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
June 7, 2021
Tweet - "Senator Strom Thurmond used the filibuster to try and block the Civil Rights Act of 1957. Today, it's still an obstacle to equal access to the ballot box. The right to vote in free and fair elections must be safeguarded over all else. Without it, we lose our democracy."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
June 3, 2021
MSNBC "All In With Chris Hayes" - Transcript: Interview with James Clyburn
Rep. Jim Clyburn
March 26, 2021
Tweet - "It is a contradiction to say we must protect minority rights in the Senate while refusing to protect minority rights in our society. There's no way under the sun that in 2021 that we are going to allow the filibuster to be used to deny voting rights."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
March 19, 2021
Scorched Earth to Mississippi Burning
Rep. Jim Clyburn
March 9, 2021
Tweet - "I think it is very clear, if we can make an exception to the filibuster rules for budgets, we ought to be able to make it for any civil or voting right that exists. If the President wants to keep the filibuster, fine, but let's do away w/ it for civil rights and voting rights."
