Olive Garden isn’t playing when it comes to its pasta deals, and the White House wishes America’s lawmakers would take election integrity as seriously.

On the heels of President Trump’s primetime speech calling out voter fraud on a massive, international scale, Special Assistant to the President Abigail Jackson made an infuriating point on Newsmax.

“In order to take advantage of their never-ending pasta pass, you have to show photo ID,” she said.

“I thought, that’s weird. Olive Garden takes pasta pass security more seriously than Democrats are taking election security.”

🚨 LMAO! Trump White House: “I saw a post from Olive Garden that in order to take advantage of their never-ending pasta pass, you have to show PHOTO ID! And I thought — that’s weird, Olive Garden takes pasta pass security more serious than Democrats are taking election security!”… pic.twitter.com/zAIgfrV6c1

While Jackson’s point may have elicited giggles from the Newmax host and some online viewers, plenty of X users weren’t amused:

How will the women be able to get their pasta pass? Surely they can’t get an ID.

Spot on! It’s common sense—if you need an ID for a pasta pass, you should definitely need one to protect our elections. Great point!

Try getting a membership at Costco without identification.

The end game for the dumocrats is to turn americas to a 3nd world country…communism is the goal. But their masters that send them on the field to fight will execute them first the moment their goals have being achieved…they are after all their useless idiots, their work is done

According to “Recovering Democrat” the photo ID is just one of the requirements for the pasta pass:

This might be the funniest thing I’ve heard…. this year?

You cant even use it on to-go or online orders, must be IN PERSON (voting)!!!!!

Make Pasta Pass Great Again!🤣🍝 https://t.co/rfAZC5gn9v pic.twitter.com/QDmwBmQWBT

Maybe Olive Garden should be in charge of America’s elections?
