Cyndi Lauper hit with backlash over SAVE Act stance as critics say 'stick to performing'

"It's me, Cyndi. Don't be fooled. The SAVE Act is not about protecting against voter fraud - it's about voter suppression. Congress is trying to pass the SAVE Act to make it harder to vote, especially for millions of women," she said.

She escalated the warning, tying the legislation to a broader fight over rights.

"First, they come after our right to control our bodies, and now they're coming after our right to vote. So, we must stop them," Lauper said.

"We are half the population. You need to stand up now. Join me in telling your senators to stand up against the SAVE Act…"

Fans were quick to comment on the video, as some criticized the legendary singer.

"Stick to performing and stop with politics," one user wrote.

"Great job reading from a teleprompter you should pull a Joe Biden repeat quote repeat quote," a comment read.

Another called out Lauper, writing, "Wow......I can see by the reflection behind you it appears you are reading off a teleprompter. How much money were you paid for this FALSE ADVERTISEMENT?"

"Who cares what HOLLYWEIRD thinks!!!!!!" another user added.

Other fans supported the singer, with one writing, "I'm with you 100%."

"I love it when people who I thought were cool, end up still being cool AF and doing the right thing!" a fan reacted, while another agreed, "Its all suppression. Suppression of women! Preach, Queen! Stand up!"

Fox News Digital has reached out to Lauper for comment.

The "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" singer isn't the only celebrity weighing in on the SAVE Act.

She added, "And I think that women need to be heard, especially in this moment."

Democrats have argued that the bill could restrict access to voting and impact vulnerable groups.

"This is absolute nonsense, and we specifically allow for a provision to make sure that no one can possibly be left behind," Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, has said.

"If a woman tried to register to vote with different names on her birth certificate and driver's license," Roy said, "we literally put in the statute that all you have to do is sign an affidavit under penalty of perjury that, 'I am that person. This is my birth certificate… and this is my driver's license that is reflecting my married name.'"
