At a rally in La Crosse, Wisconsin, Vice President Kamala Harris and her supporters openly mocked a Christian attendee who interrupted her speech by proclaiming, “Jesus is Lord.” Harris, who skipped a major Christian event in New York to attend the rally, was promoting her pro-abortion stance when the interruption occurred.
Her response, “I think you’re at the wrong rally,” was followed by laughter and cheers from the crowd, with Harris adding, “Try the smaller one down the street.”

This incident, described as a “disgusting display” by critics, highlights the growing divide between the Democratic Party and Christian values. On “FOX and Friends Weekend,” the two University of Wisconsin-La Crosse students involved in the protest shared their experience, recounting how they were heckled, pushed and eventually removed from the event.
One of the students, Luke Polaske, said, “I held [a cross] up in the air and waved at her, and she looked [me] directly in the eye, gave me an evil smirk.”
Grant Beth, the other protester, emphasized the importance of the moment for young voters, warning, “This is what you are going to get with a Kamala Harris presidency.” He argued that Harris’s actions reflect a broader disregard for Christian values, saying, “Jesus was mocked, His disciples were mocked and that’s OK. In reality, we did God’s work.”
The students’ account of being alienated and mocked by Harris and her supporters serves as a stark warning for those concerned about the direction of the country under her leadership. According to them, Harris’s decision to skip the Al Smith Memorial Dinner, a major Christian event, further solidifies her disconnect from the nation’s Christian population.
