Rep. Blanche says people must show ID to enter restaurants

politicsMay 3, 2026337,043

Rep. Blanche said, "Every time you walk into a restaurant you have to show ID," while arguing for voter ID measures and the SAVE Act. Restaurants in the U.S. generally do not require patrons to show identification to enter; ID is typically requested only for age-restricted purchases like alcohol. The SAVE Act is a registration bill and does not itself require showing ID to vote, and voter ID proposals vary by state. This matters because equating routine entry rules with voting laws misleads people about ballot access and shapes the debate over voter ID requirements.

1. When was the last time you had to show your ID to walk into a restaurant? 2. If he means to purchase liquor, unlike the SAVE act, I don’t have to prove citizenship with a birth certificate or passport to do that. 3. Going to a restaurant isn’t a right.

The Attorney General of the United States thinks Americans are required to produce a government ID in order to enter a restaurant? And the interviewer didn't just terminate the interview right there and call him an ambulance?

digiwallsstudio.bsky.social40

Why the hell do we go through this every Sunday?

Madison21

I couldn’t enter a restaurant last night because I lost my ID. I found it though, once I remembered the last time I had used it was when I had to show ID to get into the grocery store earlier that day. Phew.

Velvet Vixen ♡10

This is wild, never had to show ID just to eat out! 😲

Sharon 🫶🏻💙🦋🍿🐸🚫👑8

I have never shown an ID at a restaurant 🤪

I gotta believe this man is just stupid

You have the right to see the wine list. If you cannot afford the wine list, a basket of reheated bread will be appointed to you.

Mr. Wizbang7

Republican false equivalency to justify taking voting rights away from millions is so much bullsh!t. These wannabe Nazis can’t win without cheating.

ianasinedashn.bsky.social6

It's always disingenuous strawmen with them. Voting is a restaurant, budget is a household. They can't hold complex thoughts in their heads, and neither can their voters.

The Opinionated Retiree and Nasty Part Owner of Canada 🇨🇦5

In all of my years of going to restaurants, I've NEVER been asked to show my ID. Is he confusing bars with restaurants? Bars, where alcohol is served, do require ID, as proof age of majority. Maybe he needs a cognitive test, like the 3 his boss has had to undergo recently?

Dogs10Gods05

We'd be in a lot more trouble, if Todd was any good at this stuff.

Art Weber4

This guy is so far up Trump's ass, he can see Mar-a-Lago from Washington DC.

Chad (NO MAGA! )4

ID for voting is fine as long as it’s provided FREE of charge. Everyone should be automatically registered to vote upon turning 18 years old and Election Day should be a national holiday! And voting should be mandatory unless you are in the Intensive Care Unit at the hospital, giving birth, or dead

Solidarity3

The day I have to show ID to walk into a restaurant is the day I decide to never go out to eat again. . .

Shelby Kent-Stewart3

Serious question. Is there anyone in the Trump regime with an I.Q. in the triple digits?

GenXguy2

@muellershewrote.com funny little factoid…did you know the word “vote” appears multiple times in our Constitution. The word “gun”?? Zero

gramadre62.bsky.social2

That's the thing. Not only do you NOT have to show it for the activities they list, those activities are NOT listed in the Constitution. Maga has no clue what is actually written in the Constitution except for "muh guns".

Echo (Echo)2

60 years ago. No wait, they didn't ask for an ID then either, and I was 16. The venue was a casino at Lake Tahoe and the drink was a vodka tonic.

danylozak.bsky.social2

He’s eating dinner at a strip joint?

The March Hare2

Republicans think you have to show ID to enter a restaurant because they tend to go to strip clubs for meals.

bob-fisher.bsky.social2

Trump has said that you have to show your identification to purchase groceries in a store. Now Todd Blanche says you have to show your ID to walk into a restaurant. It shows that they have absolutely zero clue how Americans live. Has Donald Trump himself ever purchased a single tank of gas? Ever?

youngcrone.bsky.social2

Not to mention they already check ID to vote and already did this round of demanding everyone get 'Real ID' and show the same information to get *that* and that was supposed to solve everything but apparently now it doesn't even count?

antidictatorship.bsky.social2

Why do they always have to lie about the reasons behind their policies? 🧐

sanneru.bsky.social2

In the Third Reich, they created the Judenstern to make them visible and open for harassment through everyone. After that, they added more symbols for the inmates of the Concentration Camps and Prisons: Political Opponents, Homosexual, Sinti and Roma.

Nothing anyone in this regime says is true. They have zero credibility.

Blanche: "There's a lot of things we can be doing, like voter ID. Every time you walk into a restaurant you have to show ID. How about you have to show your idea to vote? That's not anything that's crazy."

Every time you walk into a restaurant??? Does this administration have anyone grounded in how the real world works???? Anyone???

Who shows a fkng ID to go into a restaurant????

John DeCock126

Everyone agrees that they have to show IDs when they go into restaurants. Except for people who have gone into restaurants.

Judy123

I have never had to show my ID in a restaurant. If Mr. Blanche does maybe he stiffed the restaurant?

Irie DC116

Is he confusing a club with a restaurant? If so, someone needs to ask what kind of club he's going to for lunch. I can only think of one type of club that's open in the middle of the day. 🤔

Martijon106

I hate ID checks in restaurants. The screening at KFC is a bitch. Cracker Barrel only accepts government photo IDs.

Senile Satan said we must show ID to buy groceries also. These traitors are reading off a script.

Every restaurant?! So I guess *no one* brings their kids, or do the kids have to have ID as well? How about newborns? 🤬 They really think we’re THAT stupid?!

“I, [state your name]”…40

I've never had to show ID in a restaurant, aside from ordering alcohol. Now that I'm >50 I don't even get carded for that, much, anymore. Didn't Trump blather on about having to show ID to buy groceries, a few years back? This is what happens when we have "leaders" who don't live in the real world.

WTF is this fool talking about? The restaurants at Mar-a-Lago?

I picked up takeout at my favorite neighborhood Chinese restaurant last night and didn’t show ID! Did I/they break some law or something?

They're carding your dates, Old Sport... not you.

The Fucking Bitch of the Welsh 🫘29

I've eaten in restaurants all over the world, from Michelin-starred fine-dining & greasy spoons, city centres & rural backwaters, beachside & mountainside. I have never, ever, not one single time, been asked for ID to be able to eat there. What the fuck is this witless twat blethering on about?

How does the person interviewing not stop him right there and say, "that's bullshit."

Skip hop jump 🍀💮🐳🐚🐸🐾23

He needs to get out of politics and become a comedian. His anecdotes are so ridiculous that they are actually funny.

Arlene21

I’m sure we’ve all had that frustrating experience of walking into restaurants & not being able to eat bc we don’t have the proper ID. I hate when that happens! If only we could do something like register to eat in restaurants ahead of time so we wouldn’t have to repeatedly show our ID each time.

Shawn Eli20

Wtf is he talking about? I've never had to show my ID walking into a restaurant in my entire life.

What restaurants are you going to that you have to show ID???

Does Blanche eat at strip clubs?

How about you stfu, Todd? Welker, just stop.

HockeyDad19

Dude must eat at a strip club

dogemperor (PLAY NEO:TWEWY, ZEPTOGRAMS)17

Literally the ONLY times in my life that I've been asked for ID in a restaurant involved me getting something alcoholic and the server either suspected I was too young OR they'd just had a visit by the ABC and were carding everyone If you're not ordering something boozy they're not gonna ask for ID

CharM17

Competent interviewer: "What did you say?" IT'S NOT HARD KRISTEN.

These rich people are SO clueless. It’s another example of why we need to tax them into understanding. They clearly aren’t living in the real world.

Weird. I literally just ate breakfast at a restaurant and did not show my ID.

Catherine15

Never ever have shown ID in a restaurant this is really crazy talk

Bill DelGrosso14

I have to show ID to register to vote. Then I have to sign my name before I vote in person or sign my mail in ballot. It has to match. Voter fraud is not a factor in changing the outcome of us elections. GOP voter suppression is

scout0914.bsky.social14

I have never once shown my ID to walk into a restaurant … and the interviewer knows this and doesn’t say anything …

MaryM14

Apparently Blanche only frequents bars?

Magicman13

Restaurants asking for ID? Well, I guess this shows the type of restaurants he attends. I've never heard of any. This clown show is unbelievable.

blueduck 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇲🇽13

Todd Todd Todd, you lying stupid fuk, in my many decades on this rock, I have never once had to show my ID at ANY restaurant. A bar or two, in younger years. But NEVER once in a restaurant. Enjoy gargling those orange smelly testicles of your boss man, biotch

Jessie Blue12

Now they want you to believe restaurants have bouncers?

Bourbonick12

Why does nobody correct them on this shit

Civil Disorder12

Their fake examples of when ID has to be shown are getting worse.

Democratic Free Press11

Only kids get id to determine their drinking age when ordering alcohol. Everyone else doesn't.

Ezlifelin11

So they've moved from "you need ID to shop a grocery store" to you need it for restaurants, lol. Continual evidence that these people are completely out of touch lying liars.

I assume it would be stupid to expect that she pushed back.

The Whisper's Echo11

I'm guessing he eats at strip clubs?

ozzieski.bsky.social11

What a stupid thing to say. Geezus.

DemWiscoGirl11

Again, this is how out of touch this administration is. Maybe YOU Todd, frequent restaurants, clubs, bars, etc., where you need to pull out your ID often. But most of us regular folks, going to Red Robin on a Wednesday with our kids, are not. So, get fucked. We are not a show your ID country.

LauraD-in-Indy11

Kristen Welker is worthless. Tim Russert (RIP) would not have just accepted Blanche's delusional lies, and even Chuck Todd would have pushed back.

Dr. Liz: Life in the Aftertimes10

When Todd Blanche was Trump's defense attorney, I thought, "Well, even the worst are entitled to a defense in this country." But since he joined the Trump admin, it's crystal clear that Todd Blanche is a thoroughly corrupt POS.

Extremely Normal Guy (not weird about stuff)10

People who aren't alcoholics built like twelve year olds are confused

I have never been asked to show my ID to eat at a restaurant. Yes when I was younger, I would occasionally get carded to purchase an alcoholic drink, but not to sit down to eat. These clowns are ridiculous!

World-class lying dipshit. Ought to be 86d from the DOJ. Charging Comey, but says no one else will be charged for 8647. Make it make sense. You can’t. Absolutely vindictive prosecution. We never needed voter id before. No widescale fraud every proven. All just bullshit from a whining loser.

Waffle House checks for missing teeth and tattoos in addition to photo ID.

Actually that is absolutely crazy. No one shows ID at a restaurant. No one.

ma1kai.bsky.social8

I have never had to show my ID when walking into a restaurant, but I have ALWAYS had to show my ID when I vote. Something tells me 'Squire' Blanche only dines in Country Clubs and has never voted; probably isn't even registered to vote.

Warframe Herzog7

Is it standard practice at NBC to never ask any followup questions when a guest says something self evidently insane

TopCat7

The guy probably buys booze every time he goes to the grocery so he *has* to show ID. It’s tiring to ask every time we read a post if the MAGA talker actually is stupid enough to believe this crap or if they know they’re lying and do it on purpose.

Here We Armbar Nazis 💪🏻7

Just once. Just ONCE. I need an interviewer to look a bald-faced lying Republican straight in their arrogant faces and ask: “What the fuck are you talking about?” Even if this disingenuous fucker is talking getting a drink in restaurants, they aren’t asking for ID for anyone over 40. Pathetic.

You have to pay for a gd ID, or a DL for that matter. Not everyone has one of these, as their possession is not mandated of any citizen. This ‘requirement’ will be both a poll tax, and a way to suppress voters.

Most people don’t drink all their meals of Scotch, Bourbon or Beer like Blanche, Hegseth & Patel This cabinet only goes to restaurants that also serve alcohol & Blanche thinks he’s still youthful looking to get carded. Logic, math & real world issues are lacking in this administration.

These Fucking people. I swear to god.

No, Blanche, the places you're thinking about & have clearly gone to innumerable times may serve food, but they aren't "restaurants" if you're being carded before you go inside🥴

One thing is clear, neither Todd Blanch nor his interviewer have ever been to a restaurant. I'm doubtful they've ever been outside of their homes, except to go to TV studios.
