Washington (CNN)—Hillary Clinton on Tuesday strongly rebuked Republicans over calls to screen Syrian refugees coming into the U.S. based on religion, calling their "hateful rhetoric" a "new low."

"We've seen a lot of hateful rhetoric from the GOP. But the idea that we'd turn away refugees because of religion is a new low," Clinton said.

Later Tuesday at a campaign event in Dallas, Clinton pressed further, saying that denying refugees isn't in line with American values.

"We can't act as though we are shutting the door to people in need without undermining who we are as Americans," she told a crowd of supporters.

Clinton's comments comes after Sen. Ted Cuz said the United States should deny entry to Muslim refugees from Syria, but leave the door open to fleeing Christians. Allowing tens of thousands of Syrian Muslims into the country was "nothing short of lunacy," the Texas senator said, citing concerns that terrorists may be among the refugees.
