James Clyburn, D-S.C., speaks as Federal Reserve Board chairman Jerome Powell testifies on the Federal Reserve\u2019s response to the coronavirus pandemic during a House Oversight and Reform Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday, June 22, 2021. (Graeme Jennings\/Pool via AP)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 11:05 AM PT \u2013 Tuesday, July 6, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>Top Democrats seem to be loosening their stance on their opposition to voter identification requirements. During an interview, South Carolina Representative and House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D) said his party is open to the idea as long as it\u2019s \u201cequitable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The change in tune comes after West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin (D) proposed a compromise voting rights bill, which pushes for voter I.D. requirements. However, Manchin expands the definition of identification to include using documents like utility bills, not just government issued ID\u2019s and drivers licenses.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats are now jumping to support the Manchin proposal while claiming they supported the measure all along.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are always for voter ID, we are never for disproportionate voter ID,\u201d Clyburn stated. \u201cWhen you tell me that you got to have a photo ID and a photo for a student activity card is not good but for a hunting license it is good,&nbsp;that\u2019s where the rub is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, Democrat lawmakers and activists were quick to criticize several GOP backed voter integrity bills that tout similar requirements as Manchin\u2019s bill.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">80% of Americans support voter ID.<\/p>\n<p>87% of independents support voter ID.<\/p>\n<p>91% of Republicans support voter ID.<\/p>\n<p>62% of Democrats support voter ID.<\/p>\n<p>Does someone want to tell Joe Biden?<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Lance Gooden (@Lancegooden) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Lancegooden\/status\/1409588580679176192?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 28, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Several surrogates, including voting rights activist Stacey Abrams, decried a bill in Georgia that called for voter ID requirements and limit mail-in voting. She compared the bill to the suppressive policies enforced in the \u201cJim Crow south.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Leftist sympathizers also hailed Democrats in the Texas legislature for walking out on a bill aimed at strengthening the state\u2019s election system, effectively blocking the measure from passing.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats are now trying to switch the narrative by claiming they are only against the most restrictive voter ID rules. They claimed no one has ever opposed voter ID laws, adding it\u2019s been an integral part of the U.S. voting system.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/sen-blackburn-joe-biden-should-correct-himself-after-jim-crow-statement\/\">Sen.
