Hillary Clinton chides Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for tweet calling voting a 'privilege

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is getting some heat for a tweet calling voting a “privilege,” including a rebuke from 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

The remark was posted after the Florida Supreme Court sided with DeSantis in a legal dispute over when felons should be able to cast ballots.

“Voting is a privilege that should not be taken lightly,” a tweet posted on DeSantis’ official Twitter account read.

Democrats chimed in that voting is a right, not a privilege.

“Voting isn’t a privilege,” Clinton tweeted. “It’s a right. And requiring voters to pay off fines and fees to exercise that right is a modern-day poll tax.”
