Conservative radio host Laura Ingraham said Tuesday on her show that it was fine with her if Americans thought ID laws made voting “too difficult.”

Ingraham listed some of the issues voter identification laws created, saying that if “it’s too difficult for you to get a government issued ID in the states that require IDs” and “if you can’t be bothered to go to the polls, then good.” She also dismissed Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) for his comments that Republicans are too obsessed with enacting ID laws.

“If you just sit it out election after election then — well frankly if you make that decision not to vote, then I don’t really want you voting,” Ingraham said. “I’m kind of glad you didn’t vote. Right?”

“You can’t care that much about the country, or you must be so uninformed that you think it’s all going fine,” she concluded.
