During a House hearing this week, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) got Texas State Rep. Senfronia Thompson (D), one of the Texas Democrats who fled the state on a private plane to prevent the state legislature from voting on a Voter ID bill, to admit that government-issued IDs are essentially required to be a functioning member of society as an adult.
The following is a partial transcript of Mace’s rapid-fire questions to Thompson during this week’s Oversight Committee hearing:
MACE: Do y’all need IDs to buy alcohol when you’re purchasing at the store?
THOMPSON: Yes, to be sure that you are capable of doing that.
MACE: Right. Do you need an ID in Texas to buy cigarettes?
THOMPSON: You can’t buy them unless you’re at least 21.
MACE: But do you have to show an ID to buy cigarettes?
THOMPSON: You do have to show an ID.
MACE: Do you need an ID when you’re getting a job and trying to get on payroll in Texas?
THOMPSON: Yes.
MACE: Do you need an ID to go to the pharmacy and get a prescription in Texas?
THOMPSON: It depends on the prescription.
MACE: But do you need an ID for some prescriptions in Texas?
THOMPSON: Yes, you do. Yes.
MACE: Do you need an ID to get social security services in Texas?
THOMPSON: You do.
MACE: Do you need an ID to rent an apartment in Texas?
THOMPSON: Yes.
MACE: Do you need an ID if you’re gonna buy a house and finance it via a mortgage in Texas?
THOMPSON: Yes.
MACE: Do you need an ID in Texas if you’re gonna board an aircraft and fly commercial?
THOMPSON: Yes.
MACE: Did you fly commercial or fly a private jet on the way to D.C.?
THOMPSON: A chartered plane.
MACE: Do you have to show an ID when you fly on a private charter jet?
THOMPSON: Yes.
MACE: I wouldn’t know, I’ve never flown on one. So, did you need an ID to get into the building here today?
THOMPSON: Yes.
MACE: Do you need an ID in Texas to open a bank account?
THOMPSON: Yes.
