Hillary Clinton is back in the headlines, this time making waves with comments many are calling bizarre and alarmist. In an appearance on “Fox & Friends,” the twice-failed presidential candidate urged LGBTQ couples to rush to the altar — before Republicans allegedly strip away gay marriage rights.

Clinton claimed the GOP has been plotting for years to undo the 2015 Supreme Court ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. She compared the situation to Roe v. Wade, warning that conservatives could send the matter “back to the states” just as they did with abortion.

Her advice was blunt. “Anybody in a committed relationship out there, in the LGBTQ community, you ought to consider getting married, because I don’t think they’ll undo existing marriages,” Clinton said. She argued that if Republicans succeed, only a minority of states would recognize same-sex unions, creating what she called “real-world consequences.”

Her prediction hinges on a writ of certiorari filed by Kim Davis, the Kentucky clerk who made national headlines in 2015 for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses on religious grounds. Davis’ petition calls on the Supreme Court to overturn Obergefell, arguing the ruling tramples religious liberty. While the Court has not said whether it will hear the case, Clinton is already warning that a ruling against gay marriage could come down.

But critics see her comments as more evidence of Clinton’s reliance on scare tactics. While a handful of Republican lawmakers in states like Michigan have floated resolutions aimed at undoing Obergefell, the movement has little traction. Out of 76 GOP legislators in Michigan, only seven supported the measure. Hardly the groundswell Clinton described.

Analysts argue Clinton is playing politics — using isolated actions by a few conservatives to paint the entire Republican Party as bent on rolling back marriage rights. It’s a familiar strategy for Democrats: turn fringe efforts into national panic, then frame the GOP as extremists.

The reality is that same-sex marriage is far from a top issue for Republican voters or lawmakers, who are more focused on matters like the economy, immigration, crime, and foreign policy. Even within the conservative legal community, Obergefell is not being targeted with the intensity Clinton suggested.

Still, Clinton’s warning shows how Democrats are preparing to make social issues a centerpiece of the 2026 election. By invoking Roe v. Wade and predicting a rollback of marriage rights, she is signaling that fear over conservative judicial victories will once again be part of their playbook.

For Republicans, her comments serve as proof that the left continues to exaggerate and distort their agenda. While Democrats try to paint conservatives as obsessed with policing private lives, voters may see through the fearmongering as little more than a campaign tactic.

Clinton’s odd advice — telling couples to rush into marriage before it’s supposedly too late — may resonate with her base, but for most Americans it’s just another reminder of why her political career never took off. Instead of inspiring confidence, she leans on panic. Instead of solutions, she offers warnings that rarely hold up to scrutiny.

Whether the Supreme Court takes up Kim Davis’s case or not, one thing is clear: Hillary Clinton’s attempt to stir fear may say more about her party’s campaign strategy than it does about the actual future of marriage law in America.
