Attendees were required to show an ID last week at a rally in Phoenix, Arizona, for Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), in order to gain admission into the event. The Harris campaign sent an email Thursday announcing details of the rally, such as the location, Desert Diamond Arena, 15 miles northwest of downtown Phoenix. Attendees would be admitted between 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m., but they needed to present a government-issued photo ID, according to KTAR. Harris has consistently opposed laws requiring voters to present an ID before voting, citing in 2020 historical examples of voter ID laws having undertones of sexism and racism. While the requirement of identification at rallies is not uncommon, it has led several conservative commentators to accuse her of hypocrisy. “Voter ID is racist, but you can’t get into a Kamala rally without ID,” actor Kevin Sorbo wrote to his more than 2 million followers. “You need photo ID to get into an invite-only Kamala Harris event, but not to vote?” columnist Ian Haworth added. The Washington Examiner reached out to the Harris campaign for comment.
