Kamala Harris has sparked controversy and mockery for requiring a government-issued ID to attend a recent campaign rally, despite her outspoken opposition to voter ID laws.

Harris’s campaign event in Arizona on Friday, which also featured Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, was marred by criticism after the campaign mandated that attendees present a government-issued photo ID for entry.

According to KTAR, an email from the campaign instructed confirmed RSVPs to show a matching ID at Desert Diamond Arena, 15 miles northwest of downtown Phoenix. The event was first announced on July 30, with specific details released the day before.

Social media users quickly highlighted the perceived hypocrisy. Actor Kevin Sorbo tweeted to his 2 million followers, “Voter ID is racist, but you can’t get into a Kamala rally without ID.”

Nick Sortor, who has over 448,000 followers, questioned, “So let me get this straight: Requiring ID to vote is racist… But requiring ID to attend a Kamala Harris ‘rally’ is NOT racist?”

Gunther Eagleman also remarked, “Kamala Harris requires photo ID to enter a private campaign event. Kamala Harris doesn’t want to require photo ID to vote. Kamala Harris doesn’t want to require ID before crossing our border. Weird.”

In 2021, Harris discussed voter ID laws during an interview with Soledad O’Brien on BET, expressing concerns about the practical implications for people in rural areas. “I don’t think that we should underestimate what that could mean,” she said. “Because in some people’s mind that means, well, you’re going to have to Xerox or photocopy your ID to send it in to prove you are who you are.”

Is there anything that the Democrats do that doesn’t promote racism? Here we have Vice President Kamala Harris making statements suggesting that black people and rural individuals lack access to Xerox machines or copy machines in their homes, which is why she believes they don’t… pic.twitter.com/mjQ5mlCJDM

Earlier in her career, Harris had also criticized voter ID laws. In an op-ed for The Washington Post in August 2020, she accused Republicans of attempting to “suppress and attack the voting rights of people of color” through measures like voter ID laws and gerrymandering.

These ‘democrats’ know no bounds & are morality hollow. Weaponizing empathy to portray a group of people as a victim for their own political gain is truly disgusting & deceitful!@VP Kamala Harris said Photo Voter ID will not work because “you’re going to have to Xerox or… https://t.co/d9cDvKE7zL pic.twitter.com/WdgOo3Sp9Q
