After a popular Italian restaurant chain<\/a> dished out an online response to a curious diner about its new unlimited pasta pass, politically-minded social media users, including those at the top of the food chain, are taking a stand.<\/p>\n

Olive Garden took to X on Wednesday to promote its new deal, which offers customers the chance purchase a “Never Ending Pasta Pass” for $100 plus tax, giving the first 10,000 people to purchase their pass 13 weeks of unlimited pasta.<\/p>\n

A user posed a question to the iconic American restaurant chain, asking whether they could purchase the unlimited pasta pass and share it with their family.<\/p>\n

“No. The Never-Ending Pasta Pass is only for use by the Passholder whose name is printed on the Pass,” Olive Garden replied. “Passes are personalized and non-transferable.”<\/p>\n

“Passholders must present a valid photo I.D. along with the Pass at the time of ordering,” the chain instructed from its X account.<\/p>\n

Immediately, the political right seized the the opportunity to prove a point \u2014 that Olive Garden appears more strict about its unlimited pasta promotion than Democrat-run states are about voting<\/a>. The timely post comes as Trump continues to push for what would be a signature legislative victory \u2014 the SAVE Act<\/a> \u2014 which, if passed, would require photo identification to vote. It has faced fierce pushback from the left-wing, who have argued against requiring proof of identity to cast a ballot in elections.<\/p>\n

“Olive Garden takes their Pasta Pass security more seriously than Democrats take election security,” White House spokesperson<\/a> Abigail Jackson told Fox News Digital. “It\u2019s sad but true.”<\/p>\n

“The SAVE America Act is a commonsense police, supported by the vast majority of Americans, that will secure our elections for generations to come. The only people opposed seem to be Democrats in Congress\u2026 I wonder why?” she added.<\/p>\n

The social media post quickly caused an online feeding frenzy.<\/p>\n

“PUT OLIVE GARDEN IN CHARGE OF OUR ELECTIONS!!!” one popular X account quipped<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I hope you understand that this is extremely discriminatory towards minorities and married women,” one user said<\/a>, parroting talking points that the political left has used in opposition of the SAVE Act.<\/p>\n

Another user also mockingly used the common parlance of the political left in response to Olive Garden’s strict policy.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m sorry, but this sounds incredibly racist to me, a requirement ID and some sort of proof of being a passholder will negatively affect marginalized communities ability to access Olive Garden,” wrote<\/a> the sarcastic user. “Do better Olive Garden.”<\/p>\n

“Are you saying that if photo ID is not presented, it could lead to cheating the system?” another social media user asked<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Good grief, Olive Garden is more secure than our elections,” said<\/a> yet another.<\/p>\n

Since Republicans in the House of Representatives passed the SAVE Act<\/a> in February, the bill has faced major obstruction by Democrats in the Senate<\/a>, as the conservative lawmakers don’t have the 60 votes required to overcome a filibuster.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, SAVE Act language<\/a> was attached to a State Department appropriations bill in a creative attempt to pass the law.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
