The Harris campaign is pulling out all the stops to lock down the 2024 Election. Let’s not forget, Kamala wasn’t exactly the first choice for her party. She slipped into the nomination after Biden was, shall we say, “encouraged” to step aside. Now, Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, are trying to convince America that these second-string players are just what the country needs, despite their shaky records and extreme policies.
But wait—there’s a juicy little tidbit of hypocrisy that perfectly highlights why they’re not the best fit for the job.
Harris has been very vocal about her opposition to basic election security measures, going so far as to label one common-sense idea as “racist.” Yet, in a recent twist, she showed that she’s totally fine with this measure—just not when it’s used to prevent voter fraud. And wouldn’t you know it, a certain actor decided to call her out on this double standard.
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…
“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.

So, here’s the scoop: Last week in Phoenix, Arizona, Harris and Walz hosted a rally. Sounds pretty routine, right? Well, not quite. The catch? If you wanted to get in, you had to show a government-issued photo ID. Yes, you read that right—a photo ID was mandatory for entry. This wouldn’t be all that noteworthy except for one glaring detail: Kamala Harris has been an outspoken critic of voter ID laws, claiming they’re discriminatory and unfairly target minorities. But when it comes to securing her own events, apparently, IDs are just fine.
Enter Kevin Sorbo, actor and conservative commentator, who saw this as the perfect opportunity to point out the glaring contradiction. Sorbo took to social media to drop a truth bomb, saying, “Voter ID is racist, but you can’t get into a Kamala rally without ID.” Ouch! With over 2 million followers, Sorbo’s comment quickly gained traction, sparking a lively debate over the apparent double standard.
Sorbo wasn’t the only one who noticed. Conservative columnist Ian Haworth also chimed in, tweeting, “You need photo ID to get into an invite-only Kamala Harris event, but not to vote?” The irony wasn’t lost on anyone, and the conversation quickly turned to a broader discussion about political hypocrisy.
The discrepancy between Harris’s opposition to voter ID laws and her campaign’s ID policy at rallies is hard to ignore. Sure, political events often require IDs for security reasons, but given Harris’s previous comments, the optics here are less than ideal.
Critics are quick to argue that this is yet another case of political elites setting one set of rules for themselves and another for everyone else. If an ID is necessary to attend a rally, why isn’t it necessary to vote? It’s a question that Harris and her team are probably hoping doesn’t gain too much traction. But in the world of politics, these contradictions have a way of sticking around.
