This mega Maga claimed you have to show photo ID to get pasta in Olive Garden, and there’s not enough facepalm in the world

It's true — my polling place is an Airbus A350. https://t.co/toASTd7FFx

Does this mean I can use an Olive Garden pasta pass to vote? https://t.co/GATuc0irBY

What the GOP won't admit in their talking points: the SAVE Act is about much more than voter ID – it would shift power from the states to Trump and force states to turn over sensitive voter data, it would also essentially end online voter registration. https://t.co/dzTfGD8zO6

I have several questions.
1) Who is getting carded for pasta?
2) Should we offer unlimited pasta at polling places?
3) Should the new motto of election officials be “When you’re here, you’re family?” https://t.co/76KSgwumUB

Obviously this guy hasn't been to an Olive Garden and has no idea what he's talking about. Again; how can people this stupid get anywhere near the levers of power? Why isn't he bagging groceries? https://t.co/Gd0OGtNCbf

Ah yes, the real reason why Olive Garden is going out of business: that dagnabbit show ID for breadsticks ploy! https://t.co/pjyHhiVYkW

Scalise isn’t the first person to make a wildly ridiculous statement about ID requirements.
