Harris really knows how to lose support. It’s almost like she’s doing it on purpose.
And Kamala Harris’s campaign has completely deflated after she was caught saying this about Christians.
At a rally held by Vice President Kamala Harris at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse last week, two Christian students, Grant Beth and Luke Polaske, found themselves at the center of attention after being heckled and mocked by the crowd. Despite the hostile reception, the students insist they were “there for the right reasons.”
The pair, both juniors at the university, shared their experience on Fox & Friends Weekend, comparing their treatment at the rally to the persecution faced by Jesus and his early followers.
Their bold proclamation of faith came as Harris began discussing abortion rights, prompting the two to shout, “Christ is King!” and “Jesus is Lord!” Their public display quickly drew the ire of the crowd, and the situation escalated.
Unbelievable!!
As Kamala is on stage fear mongering about abortion, someone shouts “Jesus is Lord!” To which she replies:
“Oh, I think you guys are at the wrong rally.”

Beth recounted the event, explaining that they faced physical and verbal harassment. “I was pushed by an elderly woman. We were heckled at, we were cursed at, we were mocked, and that’s the biggest thing for me personally,” he said. Reflecting on the event, he made a comparison to biblical events: “Jesus was mocked. You know, his disciples were mocked, and that’s OK.”
Beth remained steadfast in his belief that their actions were divinely inspired, saying, “We did God’s work, and we were there for the right reasons, and God is watching us in this moment.” He emphasized that, despite the confrontation, he strives to be respectful of differing beliefs but felt they were sent to the rally by God.
As the students continued to shout their religious messages, the vice president eventually paused her speech to acknowledge them, in a moment that went viral online. “You guys are at the wrong rally,” Harris remarked, drawing laughter and applause from the audience. “I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street.”
Harris’s rally addressed key issues in her 2024 presidential campaign, including the economy and her stance on abortion rights.
She criticized former President Donald Trump for appointing the Supreme Court justices responsible for overturning Roe v. Wade, and promised that if elected, she would sign legislation to restore abortion access nationwide.
Polaske, describing the scene from about 20 to 30 yards away from Harris, claimed that the vice president acknowledged them with what he called an “evil smirk.” “She was actually waving to me,” he said. “I took this cross off my neck that I wear, and as we were getting asked to leave, I held it up in the air and waved at her and pointed at her, and she looked directly in the eye, kind of gave me an evil smirk.”
The students were quick to address the online controversy surrounding the interaction, with Polaske confirming that Harris was indeed speaking to them. “I just want to clear that up and confirm that she 100% was talking to us,” he said.
Beth also warned about the implications of a potential Harris presidency, stating, “This is what you are going to get with a Kamala Harris presidency. You are going to get the Kamala Harris that alienates over 50% of the US population that is Christian. You’re going to get the Kamala Harris that skips the Al Smith Memorial Dinner.”
Harris had recently chosen to skip the Al Smith Dinner, a well-known Catholic charity event, opting instead to send a prerecorded video skit.
The event, held in Manhattan, has been a tradition for presidential candidates on both sides for more than 40 years.
In addition to her campaigning at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, Harris has long been connected to faith communities. Raised in an interfaith household, she attended both Hindu temples and Baptist churches as a child and has been a member of the Rev. Amos Brown’s Third Baptist Church for many years.
On her birthday, Harris spoke at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church near Atlanta, Georgia, continuing her engagement with religious communities.
But that engagement will likely fall short, especially after her latest response to the two Christian students at her Wisconsin rally.
