Last week during a campaign stop on the campus of the University of Wisconsin in La Crosse, presidential candidate Kamala Harris defended her pro-abortion stance, telling the audience, “When Congress passes a bill to restore reproductive freedom nationwide, as president of the United States I will proudly, proudly sign it into law.” Her fans applauded wildly in response.
At that moment two juniors at the school, both Christians, shouted from their seats: “Christ is King!” and “Jesus is Lord!” Harris looked over at the two and said: “You guys are at the wrong rally. I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street.” The crowd erupted in laughter and more applause as the two pro-life activists, Luke Polaske and Grant Beth, were escorted out of the building.

Harris didn’t realize that the brief interaction in that campus gymnasium would go viral. Video footage of her response to Polaske and Beth has now been seen by millions—and many who have watched it are asking if Harris’ mocking tone displays obvious disrespect for Christian values.
“This is what you are going to get with a Kamala Harris presidency,” Beth warned in a follow-up interview. “You are going to get the Kamala Harris that alienates over 50% of the U.S. population that is Christian.”
Beth, just 20, also told reporters that he and Polaske were pushed, heckled and mocked while being thrown out of the venue on Oct. 17. “Jesus was mocked. You know, His disciples were mocked,” he explained. “In reality, we did God’s work, and we were there for the right reasons, and God is watching us in this moment.”

Ironically, Republican candidate J.D. Vance, Donald Trump’s vice presidential running mate, encountered a similar situation only a few days later while campaigning in Waukesha, Wisconsin. During an Oct. 20 event, someone shouted “Jesus is King!” and Vance replied: “That’s right. Jesus is King.”
