At a rally in Waukesha, Wisconsin, on Sunday, Senator JD Vance addressed attendees with a focus on faith and public policy, particularly in light of recent comments made by Kamala Harris.
The event saw a notable moment when an audience member shouted, “Jesus is King!” which Vance echoed back, reinforcing his Christian beliefs.
Vance, who was baptized in 2019, expressed his commitment to his faith, stating, “I say this as a Christian, as a person who was baptized for the first time just a few years ago. There is something really bizarre with Kamala Harris’ anti-Christian rhetoric and anti-Christian approach to public policy.”
WOW.
Someone just yelled “JESUS IS KING!” at a JD Vance rally
His response?
“That’s right. Jesus is King.” ✝️
48 hours ago, Kamala had a young boy dragged out of her rally for yelling the same thing, telling him he was “at the wrong rally”

This commentary follows an incident at a rally featuring Harris in Wisconsin the previous week, where two Christian students shouted phrases like “Jesus is Lord” and “Christ is King.”
Harris responded to the students, suggesting they were “at the wrong rally,” and directed them to a nearby event that featured former President Trump.
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.”

As Vance continued his address, he criticized a viral video involving Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, who was seen wearing a Harris-Walz campaign hat while feeding Doritos to a podcast host in what many critics viewed as a mockery of a sacred Christian rite.
OMG!!!

Vance remarked, “I don’t think that we’ve seen anything like this in modern American politics… think about how sacrilegious that is and think about how offensive that is to every person.”
Vance emphasized the importance of religious freedom in America, stating, “Whether you’re a person of Christian faith or not, Donald Trump and I are going to fight for your right to live your values, because that’s what the First Amendment protects.”
He added, “When you see an American leader, when you see a surrogate of Kamala Harris insulting people of the Christian faith, I think that we should say to every single one of those people, you’re fired. We’re not giving you any more power.”
In response to the backlash surrounding Whitmer’s video, she issued an apology, clarifying that it was not her intention to mock individuals of faith.
Vance, however, continued to stress the need for leaders to support and uplift the rights of religious individuals.
“Many Catholics feel abandoned by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s leadership,” Vance noted, indicating that these voters are looking for representation that upholds their values.
He further stated, “We cannot have an American government that is persecuting Christians for living their faith. We should be rewarding people and encouraging people to live their faith.”
Vance’s remarks came on the heels of an incident involving two pro-life college students from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, who claimed they were doing “God’s work” by attending Harris’ rally and voicing their pro-life, Christian beliefs.
One of the students, Luke Polaske, recounted his experience during the rally, explaining that he and his fellow student, Grant Beth, were about 20 to 30 yards from Harris when they shouted their messages.
According to Polaske, “On video, Grant’s getting pushed and shoved, and there’s about five seconds before she tells us to go to a small rally down the street. You can see on the video, she waves. 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.”
Polaske emphasized that Harris was indeed addressing them directly and affirmed their presence at the rally.
As the election approaches, Vance’s focus on faith and his criticism of Harris and the Democrats may resonate with conservative voters, particularly in light of the ongoing discussions surrounding religious liberties and political representation in America.
