New York City’s lone Republican in Congress accuses Mamdani, Schumer of 'hypocrisy' in voter ID fight

Rep.

Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., slammed what she deemed "hypocrisy" shown by Democratic socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Sen.

Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., arguing that the two officials are betraying their constituents by refusing to support voter identification measures.

"I think the Democrats are showing the two sides that they have," she told Fox News Digital in an interview.

"They go to their district, they tell their constituents that they support voter ID, and then they turn around to go to Washington and vote against it," she continued.

SEN MARK WARNER CALLED OUT IN ABC INTERVIEW FOR INACCURATE VOTER ID CLAIMS Malliotakis called on the Senate to pass President Donald Trump’s Safeguard America’s Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act, a piece of legislation that would require voters to prove American citizenship before casting a ballot.

"If you want people to be confident in the outcome of the election, then we need to pass the Save America Act.

We need to require voter ID," Malliotakis told Fox News Digital.

"Over 80% of America wants it," Malliotakis continued, adding "the only people that don't seem to want it are the Democrats who are in Congress right now and they're not representing the people of their districts who are overwhelmingly saying they want it.

Regardless of political affiliation, regardless of race, they are saying that they want a voter ID and the Senate Democrats should vote for it," she continued.

"Let's make sure that we show America that we're taking the integrity of our elections seriously.

And voter ID is really the most common-sense step that we should be taking as a body," she added.

SCHUMER SAID ‘DEMOCRATS SUPPORT VOTER ID’ — THEN EVERY SENATE DEMOCRAT VOTED AGAINST GOP BILL Malliotakis pinned the blame in particular on Schumer for blocking the SAVE Act .

"We've passed it out of the House now four times and is up to the Senate to get the job done.
