Hillary Clinton, who opposes the filibuster, cheered on Texas Dems and their filibuster-like tactic to stop new voting law

Texas Dems in the state House of Representatives walked out en masse Sunday night, preventing the majority Republicans from reaching a quorum and voting to pass a new voting law:

You see, filibuster-like tactics employed by the minority party are good now:

Apparently the minority party blocking bills isn’t a grave “threat to democracy” when Democrats do it. https://t.co/gnPkCsfGdN

Funny how this works?

The minority blocking the majority is good now https://t.co/MdmX40UHSs

Failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton cheered on Texas Dems over the procedural move:

Don't mess with Texans' voting rights.

We're in a battle to save our democracy. Bravo to Texas Democrats who are leading the fight.https://t.co/rgeBYKCX02

This, of course, is the same Hillary Clinton who wants to abolish the filibuster in the U.S. Senate:

We can preserve the filibuster, or we can preserve the voting rights of people of color. But we can't do both. pic.twitter.com/TFvfe7vEKs

What a hypocrite.
