Former Congressman Lou Barletta, a MAGA dipshit who signed on as a fake Trump elector in 2020 and lost the 2018 Senate race to incumbent Dem Bob Casey, told freelance journalist David Catanese in an interview that people need to show ID to buy a cheesesteak in Philadelphia, therefore voter ID should be required in the state, among other bullshit claims in the brief exchange.
“For anybody that’s been here, you didn’t have to go far to see and hear the stories of what went on. People harvesting ballots, I mean we could go on and on and on. Dead people still voting in Pennsylvania. Now they don’t even have to leave the cemetery to vote, they can mail in their ballots. Act 77 mail in ballots are ripe for fraud, the ballot boxes being stuffed. People bringing multiple ballots to the ballot boxes. There was no control over what happened,” cried Barletta over mail-in ballots. When pressed on how many people, living or dead, he believes voted illegally in the state, Barletta said “I don’t know… In Pennsylvania, 2 million people feel that it wasn’t, so what do you say to them? You don’t matter?” When pressed again, Barletta’s minion, wiener Trump 2020 comms director Tim Murtaugh interrupted, saying “He’s not going to give you a different answer Dave.” Asked if he would mandate voter ID as governor Barletta said “You need to show your ID to get a cheesesteak in Philadelphia,” to which Catanese responded “You do? I don’t think that’s true. Is that true?” “Yeah they were requiring… you had to show a vaccine card” Barletta responded.
Props to Catanese for cornering Barletta like this. What a total bitch this guy is. Typical of the MAGA mindset where they freeze up when forced to explain why they feel like the election was stolen, never wanting to admit to themselves or anyone else that it was not actually stolen from their Orange God Emperor, that he fucking lost fair and square because more legally registered voters in states worth more electoral college votes cast more legal ballots for Joe Biden.
