Mamdani: You Need Voter, er, Eater ID to Buy Groceries at Commie Basket!https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2026/08/03/mamdani-you-need-eater-id-to-buy-groceries-at-commie-basket-n3817594Old and busted: Demanding ID for voting hurts the poor, women, and minorities! New hotness: Bring your ID if you expect to eat at Commie Basket!
For decades, the Left has insisted that asking for identification to access the ballot box was far too burdensome for its grievance collectives. Of late, the argument has been that black voters and women face particular burdens in getting accurate identification, the former because of the lingering effects of Jim Crow and the latter because of name changes due to marriage and divorce. Requiring ID to vote would disenfranchise these voters, Democrats insist, even though every poll shows majority support for voter-ID requirements across all demos, including these.
How about when it comes to accessing food, especially subsidized purchases that purportedly benefit these same aggrieved communities? New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani wants to verify eligibility to eat in the same way the Left rejects verification of eligibility to vote:
More Prog double-standardism.
