Governor and Democratic Senate nominee John Fetterman for arguing that racial minorities are less capable of getting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/voter-id\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">voter ID<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In a resurfaced clip from December 2021, the candidate remarked that Pennsylvania lawmakers were attempting to pass a constitutional amendment requiring voter ID for \u201cevery time you vote\u201d \u2014 a policy that he implied was discriminatory because people \u201cwho typically are on the poorer side and are people of color\u201d are less likely \u201cto have their ID at any one given time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Walsh remarked that Fetterman\u2019s remarks are worse than the \u201cbigotry of low expectations\u201d because they reflect \u201cjust no expectations whatsoever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019re an adult in modern society, you must have some kind of photo ID because you can\u2019t do anything without it,\u201d Walsh noted. \u201cYou can\u2019t rent an apartment. You certainly can\u2019t buy a house. You can\u2019t get a credit card \u2014 you can\u2019t do anything. \u2026 I\u2019m not sure I\u2019ve met an adult who doesn\u2019t have a photo ID. I would like to meet an adult like that just so I can talk to them. I have so many questions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Leftists have balked at Republican officials\u2019 attempts to strengthen election security requirements over the past year. After Georgia passed legislation that requires citizens to include a driver\u2019s license number when voting by mail, several companies <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/mlb-moves-all-star-game-to-colorado-which-has-voter-id-laws-significantly-less-diverse-than-georgia\">sanctioned<\/a> the state, while President Joe Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/speeches-remarks\/2022\/01\/11\/remarks-by-president-biden-on-protecting-the-right-to-vote\/\">argued<\/a> that lawmakers were \u201cputting up obstacles\u201d because \u201cto them, too many people voting in a democracy is a problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In response to Fetterman\u2019s comments, Walsh added that \u201cacting as though it is some great burden to go get a photo ID even though one is required for everything else\u201d is one of the most \u201cridiculous strawmen\u201d pushed by leftists.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey can require you to go and inject something into your body and take a card and carry that around with you,\u201d Walsh observed. \u201cBut going to get a photo ID is a burden that is too cumbersome for people to carry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In response to leftists making the argument that black people in particular cannot obtain photo ID, Walsh remarked that it is \u201chard to think of something more degrading, insulting, and paternalistic than that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fetterman, who served as the mayor of Braddock, Pennsylvania, before starting his tenure in Harrisburg, provoked controversy in 2013 after responding to what he believed was gunfire by pulling a firearm on an African American and detaining him until police arrived \u2014 an incident that has generated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/2022-election\/fettermans-gun-incident-rattles-black-democrats-pa-senate-race-rcna25649\">unease<\/a> among black Democratic voters.<\/p>\n<p>The candidate, who often appears in public clad in a hoodie and basketball shorts, has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/im-for-decriminalizing-across-the-board-john-fetterman-has-repeatedly-nodded-to-woke-drug-policy\">nodded<\/a> to drug decriminalization and publicly <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/johnfetterman\/status\/1290280291458674689\">supported<\/a> Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, who is currently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/democrats-and-republicans-join-forces-to-investigate-philadelphias-woke-district-attorney\">under investigation<\/a> from Republican and Democratic members of the Pennsylvania House for allegedly neglecting to enforce the city\u2019s laws.<\/p>\n<p>Fetterman is campaigning against Republican rival Dr. Mehmet Oz in one of the nation\u2019s most closely watched Senate contests. He currently leads Oz by 48.4% to 43.5%, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetrafalgargroup.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/TRF-PA-General-0820-Poll-Report.pdf\">survey<\/a> conducted by the Trafalgar Group.<\/p>\n<p>However, Fetterman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/hell-be-fine-pa-democratic-senate-nominee-cleared-by-doctor-to-campaign-after-suffering-a-stroke-days-before-primary\">suffered a stroke<\/a> days ahead of the primary elections and has made few public appearances in recent months. Because he has slurred, repeated himself, and lost his train of thought in the handful of general election events he has attended, much of his campaign has centered upon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/pennsylvanias-senate-campaign-degrades-to-a-meme-war\">online trolling<\/a> of Dr. Oz over his links to New Jersey and ownership of multiple properties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daily Wire commentator Matt Walsh blasted Pennsylvania Lt.
