Magneto: Are you a God-fearing man, Senator? It's such a strange phrase. I always thought of God as a teacher. As a bringer of light, wisdom and understanding. You see, I think what you really are afraid of is me. Me and my kind. The Brotherhood of Mutants.
Magneto: You homo-sapiens and your guns.
Toad: Don't you people ever die?
Stu: I know what you are.
Wolverine: You lost your money. You keep this up you lose something else.
[Having heard the nicknames of the other X-men, turns to Professor. X who's in a wheelchair.]
Wolverine: What do they call you, wheels?
Mystique: You know, people like you are the reason I was afraid to go to school as a child.
Professor Xavier: You can stay here. We can protect you from Magneto.
Wolverine: What's a Magneto?
Storm: Do you know what happens to a toad when it's struck by lightning? The same thing that happens to everything else.
Chosen answer: You are working under the assumption that Mystique would not believe this either. However, with Magneto in prison and no sign of the senator she could happily take on his identity. Also, even if Kelly was alive, after she gave a press statement backing mutants, it would be unlikely that a politician would change his mind so suddenly again and he would therefore not come clean that it was not him.
