Vance says 'Jesus is King' at Wisconsin rally
Sen. J.D. Vance echoed the sentiments of participants at a rally in Wisconsin on Sunday. This comes 48 hours after Kamala Harris apparently told two students who professed their faith, “You're at the wrong meeting.”
Participants at Sen. J.D. Vance's Wisconsin rally shouted, “Jesus is King!” During his speech Sunday afternoon, Mr. Vance echoed the same phrase with those in attendance, but appeared to differ from the approach taken by Vice President Kamala Harris last week.
Vance doesn't talk much about his faith, but said he returned to it at a young age and is a devout Christian. He said he was baptized in 2019.
“I say this as a Christian, someone who was baptized for the first time just a few years ago. There is something really strange about Kamala Harris' anti-Christian rhetoric and anti-Christian approach to public policy. ,” Vance explained.
The remark comes after Vice President Kamala Harris told two Christian students at a rally in Wisconsin last week that they were at the wrong rally for shouting “Jesus is Lord” and “Christ is King.” This comes in response to what appears to have been a remark.

As he continued to talk about faith and politics, he was interrupted by attendees chanting, “Jesus is King.”
“That's right. Jesus is King,” Vance replies.
Vance then addressed the viral video of Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer wearing a Harris Waltz campaign hat while kneeling and feeding a podcast host a Doritos, which some critics have criticized. pointed out that this made a mockery of the sacred rituals of Christianity.
“I don't think we've ever seen anything like this in modern American politics,” Vance said. “Gretchen Whitmer does this really weird thing where she acts like she's giving communion to someone, but that's Dorito. And of course, Gretchen Whitmer does this really weird thing where she acts like she's giving communion to someone, except in the church, which I don't necessarily want.” You can't talk about it, but think about how blasphemous it is and how offensive it is to everyone. ”
“Frankly, whether you're a Christian or not, Donald Trump and I are going to fight for your right to live your values. That's the First Amendment. And I think whether you're a Christian or not, whether you're Catholic or of another faith or no faith at all. When we see American leaders and Kamala Harris' agents insulting Christians, I think we should say to all of them: We give you more power than this. No,” Vance continued.

Whitmer later apologized for the video, stressing that it was not intended to mock people of faith.
Unlike the Harris campaign, Vance said he continued to talk about the support the Trump administration is providing to religious people.
“There are a lot of Catholics, so I think it's natural that they feel abandoned by the leadership of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. And they're just defending their rights and making this country affordable.” I'm just looking for someone to make it a decent place to raise a family,'' Vance said. He spoke at a rally in Waukesha.
“That's all I think is true for many Catholics. It's true for non-Catholics as well. But we can't have an American government that persecutes Christians practicing their faith. We should reward people and encourage them to live according to their beliefs' faith. ”
Vance's comments come as two pro-life Wisconsin college students attended a Harris rally on their campus last week, shouting pro-life, Christian messages and calling it “God's work.” This is in response to the company's claim that it was doing so.

Mr. Harris interrupted his speech, turned his attention to them, and said, “You're at the wrong rally.”
As the crowd roared, she continued, “I think you were going to the little store down the street,” referring to Trump's rally.
Luke Polaske, a junior at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, shared a graphic account of the incident from his perspective, and he and Grant Bess, a junior at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, were about 20 minutes away from Harris in a cramped venue. He said he was ~30 yards away. He detailed the encounter and described his interactions with the vice president.
“She wasn’t talking to us or [that] we left. We weren't kicked out. Well, I can speak for Grant and myself,” Polaske said.

“In the video, there's about five seconds between Grant being pushed and shoved, and then she tells us to go to a small gathering in the street. You can see in the video, she's waving, She was actually waving at me, saying, “I've taken this cross.'' When she asked me to take it off my neck and leave, I held it up in the air. I waved and pointed at her, and she looked me straight in the eye and gave me a kind of evil grin. ”
“We just want to make that clear and make sure she's talking to us 100 percent.”
