Former President Donald Trump declared that people need identification to purchase groceries as he repeated a wild claim heβs pushed at past rallies on Friday.
βYou have voter ID to buy a loaf of bread, you have ID to buy a loaf of bread,β said Trump as he argued that Democrats are βdesperateβ to stop his movement in remarks at the Concerned Women for America Summit in Washington, D.C.
Trump previously dropped the claim that βyou need a picture on a cardβ or ID to buy groceries during a rally for his now-GOP rival and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in 2018. Heβs since repeated the grocery store claim including one instance where he said thereβs an ID requirement for cereal purchases.
The former president also received pushback for another food market claim when he said grocery stores would βwork alongβ with federal employees amid the 2019 partial government shutdown.
βLocal people know who they are when they go for groceries and everything else... and thatβs what happens in times like this β they know the people, theyβve been dealing with them for years and they work along,β he said at the time.
Social media users mocked the former presidentβs latest grocery remarks, quipping that they got βcarded for pumpernickelβ the other day.
