Rep. Hunt: Racial Argument Against Voter ID Is ‘Insulting’https://pjmedia.com/catherinesalgado/2026/06/19/rep-hunt-racial-argument-against-voter-id-is-insulting-n4954167Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-Texas) emphasized to Congress the importance of passing the election integrity SAVE America Act and rejected woke arguments against voter ID as racist and condescending.
Democrats’ idiotic arguments against requiring ID to vote include claiming that black Americans are somehow mysteriously unable to get IDs. Aside from the obvious elitism and racial prejudice of such a claim, it is practically impossible to live in America and not have identification. They are required at doctor’s offices, airports, bars, liquor stores, car rentals, welfare programs, and many more places. But somehow expecting IDs at polling places is unreasonable?
Hunt sarcastically said, “I've been black for my entire life. I had to bring up the most racist thing I've ever heard [which] is the insinuation by Democrats that black and brown Americans are too stupid to get an ID to vote, just like everybody else.”
The congressman continued, “I call this the soft bigotry of low expectations. Figuring out how to vote in this country is a very low bar, and we could all figure it out regard of your race, religion, color, or creed, and we should all want free and fair elections.”
TBH, blacks leaders should have been making this argument - the claim that blacks are too
stupid to get REAL ID compliant drivers licenses and/or state IDs - very public should have happened months ago. The misleaders parroting the Dems' argument demonstrate their partisanship. The ones not shouting this counter-argument from the proverbial rooftops puzzle me. Their lack of or muted response make the Dems' claim seem unanswerable.
The same is true, BTW, of the Dems' absurd claim that married women will be unable to vote. The Dems need to have their racist and misogynist absurdities rammed down their throats and yanked out the other end.
