And my friend\u2019s husband had to show a photo ID to get the COVID-19 test. Another friend had to show a photo ID for the test in order to get a colonoscopy. And then my friend had to show a photo ID to pick up an online order at the local Pottery Barn store, pickup.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-375643\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/APP-120820-ID-Card.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/APP-120820-ID-Card.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/APP-120820-ID-Card-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/APP-120820-ID-Card-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The point is that the husband needed a photo ID for a COVID-19 test for some surgery. Another friend had to show photo ID to get a test for a colonoscopy. A friend had to get a test just pick up some stuff at the Pottery Barn. Now, this is all clearly racist, is it not? (interruption) What do you mean, it\u2019s not racist? What do you mean race has nothing to do with it? Race has everything to do with this. And you, of all people, should know this.<\/p>\n<p>Like James Clyburn, the Congressional Black Caucasians, they tell us that blacks, African-Americans, no way, no way gonna get a photo ID. It is racist. It is a way for government to get a handle on who African-Americans are so they can be identified and kicked out of their houses. It\u2019s a way for government to identify African-Americans so that they\u2019re thrown out of their houses and onto the front curb or wherever else they can find to live.<\/p>\n<p>The Democrats and the leftists, they tell us this over and over and over that we cannot have voter ID because African-Americans can\u2019t get photo ID, because if they get photo IDs it means the government, which is out to get \u2019em in the first place, is then gonna be able to get \u2019em. This has been the number-one reason why we do not have voter ID. If we had photo ID for voting, do you realize how much of this fraud might end up being worthless? If we had a way to tie every vote to the person who cast it &#8212; now, this is the real reason why we don\u2019t have photo ID for voter ID is because it would be much more difficult for the left, for the Democrats to cheat.<\/p>\n<p>So, what do they do? They don\u2019t say it has anything to do with that. No, no, no. They are protecting their constituency groups. Believe me, they\u2019ve got African-Americans believing, especially those who are more elderly, they really believe that the government\u2019s out to get \u2019em and they\u2019re not gonna go pose for a photo that\u2019s gonna be used on a voter ID card. It just isn\u2019t gonna happen. They\u2019re not gonna do it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-367816\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/APP-031020-voters.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/APP-031020-voters.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/APP-031020-voters-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/APP-031020-voters-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And of course who\u2019s gonna object? &#8216;Cause if you object, what are you? You are a racist. So nobody\u2019s gonna object to it. That\u2019s why we don\u2019t have photo voter ID. So I have a question. Does that mean that African-Americans cannot get COVID-19 tests? (interruption) It does? They can\u2019t? They can\u2019t get COVID-19 tests? (interruption) You mean you tell me African-Americans can\u2019t get a COVID-19 test? You have to show a photo ID. (interruption) Black people go to Pottery Barn? I figured that. Black people have surgery, right? Okay. Black people have to show photo ID, which means they can get photo ID.<\/p>\n<p>You need to have photo ID to get eye surgery. Do black people get eye surgery? (interruption) They do. Black people have driver\u2019s licenses? (interruption) You\u2019re kidding me. You\u2019re kidding me. I thought African-Americans would not, in any way, on any form of ID allow their photo to appear. (interruption) You think James Clyburn has a photo ID? You gotta be kidding me. The former president of the Congressional Black Caucasians has a photo ID?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-262305 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/FB-002-013018-Clyburn.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/FB-002-013018-Clyburn.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/FB-002-013018-Clyburn-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Well, he won\u2019t let anybody else have them. What about colonoscopies, do you need a photo ID to go get a a colonoscopy? (interruption) African-Americans get colono &#8212; Okay. What you\u2019re telling me is that for virtually everything in life that African-Americans need or wish to have or do, that they have a photo ID that will allow them to have or do it? (interruption) You telling me that you gotta show a photo ID when you buy cigarettes? Is that only African-Americans? (interruption) Oh, everybody has to do that, including African-Americans.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I\u2019m puzzled. I\u2019m totally surprised, shocked, and stunned here. Because I was under the belief that African-Americans simply refused to pose for any kind of a photo that\u2019s gonna end up on any kind of an ID card. (interruption) So then explain to me why &#8212; I mean, African-Americans vote, do they not? (interruption) Okay. So explain to me why we can\u2019t have photo ID on voter cards, voter ID cards? I mean, I\u2019m required to show a photo ID when I go vote. African-Americans aren\u2019t apparently. &#8216;Cause they don\u2019t have &#8212; (interruption) No, they don\u2019t have to. That\u2019s the whole point here.<\/p>\n<p>If you order takeout at a restaurant or if you order anything from a store, you go pick it up rather than not have them deliver, you go pick it up, you have to show a photo ID there. I\u2019m just telling you, I\u2019m just confused. I can\u2019t make sense of all of this.<\/p>\n<p>You need a photo ID to get a COVID-19 test. You need a photo ID to get colonoscopy or whatever. You need a photo ID to do everything except African-Americans do not need one to go vote. Is that right? (interruption) In Democrat states. Wait a minute. You\u2019re telling me that in Republican states African-Americans have to produce a photo&#8230; (interruption) Wait a minute.<\/p>\n<p>Now I\u2019m really confused. And I haven\u2019t missed that many days. When did all this happen? (interruption) Years ago that African-Americans voting in Republican states had to show photo ID? (interruption) Like everybody else. Exactly. But they don\u2019t complain about it, right? (interruption) And yeah, I know they\u2019re not disenfranchised.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re perfectly fine, they go in there and they\u2019re allowed to vote and all that. (interruption) I hate to tell you, in a matter of months we are all gonna be required to have COVID IDs to prove that we\u2019ve been vaccinated. (interruption) That\u2019s gonna be a problem because guess who\u2019s not gonna want to be vaccinated? African-Americans. They\u2019re not gonna trust that the government\u2019s there to help them. And they may not be the only ones on that.<\/p>\n<p>But oh, man. This is setting up to be something. The Department of Defense has already posted photos of the COVID cards online. And, by the way, I saw one. They\u2019re gonna be child\u2019s play to forge. I\u2019m trying to stay hip and current with all this stuff, but I do know that African-Americans still resist photo IDs for voting, and they\u2019re not required to have them. But they have to have \u2019em for everything else; so how in the hell do they get away with not having to present a photo ID when they vote? (interruption) Ooooh, I see. Because the African-Americans are the official pawns of the Democrat Party. Oh. I see. I see. Okay.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Cause I think a lot of people are gonna be surprised by this. The only group of people that does not need to produce a photo ID when voting is African-Americans in blue states. Is that pretty much it? (interruption) Okay. Well, we\u2019ll keep a sharp eye on that. You know, I look at these things, I see these people making these changes and going through life and need a photo ID for virtually everything you have to do, and we still end up with African-Americans not needing photo IDs to vote.<\/p>\n<p>And I\u2019m just telling you, if we could end that, if we could have a photo ID when people are required to vote, if we could attach a face to every vote cast, it would put a big challenge in the way of people who want to cheat. They\u2019d find a way. It would be a little harder for them. But it would still make the process of tracking people down a lot easier.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-234678\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/650-050117-Illustrating-Absurdity-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/650-050117-Illustrating-Absurdity-1.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/650-050117-Illustrating-Absurdity-1-300x143.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I was being facetious here, folks.
