But it was what happened next that truly caught the attention of those in attendance. A Christian attendee stood up and courageously proclaimed, “Jesus is Lord.” Rather than offering a respectful response or even ignoring the comment, Harris coldly replied, “I think you’re at the wrong rally.”
The crowd erupted into cheers and laughter, clearly enjoying the moment, as Harris added another jab: “Try the smaller one down the street.” This smug dismissal of someone’s faith was a moment that resonated far beyond the walls of the rally, with many Christians seeing it as an outright attack on their beliefs.
It was an alarming display from the Vice President and her supporters, revealing what some have called the “godless agenda” of the current administration. The fact that Harris and her crowd found humor in mocking a simple declaration of faith didn’t sit well with many Americans, particularly Christians who felt targeted by the exchange.
On Sunday, the backlash continued when FOX and Friends Weekend welcomed two university students who were present at the rally to discuss the incident. Will Cain, one of the hosts, introduced them: “Today, we’d like to bring in those students who yelled that out to Kamala Harris, two pro-life students at the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse, both juniors, Luke Polaske and Grant Beth. Join us now.”
Luke Polaske, one of the students, detailed the event from his perspective, offering a glimpse into what happened off-camera. “After she talked about overturning Roe v. Wade and Donald Trump, I yelled out to the crowd that abortion is the sacrament of Satan. And when I said that, I deeply do believe that as a Christian.”
Polaske went on to describe how the mocking intensified after he and his friend proclaimed that “Jesus is Lord” and “Jesus is King.” He described feeling pushed, shoved, and heckled by Harris supporters. The moment became even more personal when Polaske claimed Harris made direct eye contact with him, smirked, and waved mockingly as he held up a cross.
Grant Beth, the other student involved, echoed Polaske’s sentiments. “Essentially, she was speaking, and we decided to say, Christ is King, Jesus is Lord. And we got a lot of backlash. As you can see in that firsthand video, I was pushed by an elderly woman. We were heckled at, we were cursed at, we were mocked.”

Beth made it clear that their purpose at the rally was not to create chaos but to stand for their faith. He shared his reflections on how their protest was in line with Christian teachings, noting that Jesus and his disciples were also mocked for their beliefs. “In reality, we did God’s work, and we were there for the right reasons,” Beth stated, confident that their message was both timely and necessary.
As the 2024 election approaches, the incident has become a focal point for many Christians who feel that their values are under attack. “This is extremely important for young Americans to understand,” Beth said, pointing out that Harris’s dismissal of Christian values could be a preview of what’s to come should she become President. “Do you want to have to struggle to afford groceries on a daily basis? Do you want to even struggle to get your first mortgage on a house? Because that is the future you’re going to get with Kamala Harris as President of the United States.”
In closing, the students urged first-time voters to think critically about their decision in the upcoming election, arguing that a future under Kamala Harris would strip Americans of their moral and spiritual foundation.
The incident in La Crosse serves as a reminder that the divide between political beliefs and religious faith is growing wider. Kamala Harris’s rally may have been meant to energize her supporters, but for many Christians, it was a stark warning of the direction she’s leading.
