It seems despite President Obama’s views on voter ID laws, you still need photo identification to visit him in the White House.
Even if you are Ellen DeGeneres.
The comedian and TV talk show host posted on Twitter Tuesday that she could not get in to the Presidential Medal of Freedom ceremony because she could not find her identification. DeGeneres was to receive an award along with over 20 others.
They haven’t let me in to the White House yet because I forgot my ID. #NotJoking#PresidentialMedalOfFreedom pic.twitter.com/sHocwqChKV

Well, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz could not pass up the opportunity to poke the soon departing president in a response to DeGeneres’ tweet.
I thought Obama didn’t believe in photo ID? https://t.co/iodmZjsjLz

Obama blasted states with strict voter ID laws claiming they make it harder for some people, especially minorities, to vote.
Twitter users found the humor in Cruz’ tweet, but not in Obama’s problem with photo ID’s.
@MrPuma2072 @tedcruz @BNicholsLiberty @TheEllenShow only the elites and Hollywood would go anywhere without ID.

@tedcruz @TheEllenShow Why would Ellen need an ID to enter the White House if she doesn’t need one to vote? Confused Texan in Katy, TX

@tedcruz Liberals are elitists who routinely exempt themselves from the very rules and suggested behaviors they impose on everyone else.

@MrPuma2072 @tedcruz @BNicholsLiberty @TheEllenShow Pretty sure Canada will also require an ID, lol
