Vance says ‘Jesus is King’ at Wisconsin rally
Sen. JD Vance echoed an attendee at his Wisconsin rally on Sunday – 48 hours after Kamala Harris seemingly informed a pair of scholars “you’re at the wrong rally,” after they professed their religion.
An attendee at Sen. JD Vance’s Wisconsin rally shouted “Jesus is King!” throughout his speech on Sunday afternoon, with Vance echoing the attendee and repeating the identical phrase – a unique strategy than Vice President Kamala Harris appeared to take final week.
Vance shared that, whereas he would not speak about his religion usually, he returned to his religion as a younger man and is a religious Christian. He mentioned he was baptized in 2019.
“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,” Vance defined.
This comes after Vice President Kamala Harris seemingly informed two Christian college students at her Wisconsin rally final week that they have been “at the wrong rally” after they shouted “Jesus is Lord” and “Christ is King.”

As he continued talking about religion and politics, he was interrupted by an attendee who shouted “Jesus is King.”
“That’s right. Jesus is King,” Vance responds.
Vance then addressed a viral video of Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer carrying a Harris-Walz marketing campaign hat whereas feeding Doritos to a kneeling podcast host in what some critics mentioned made a mockery of a sacred Christian ceremony.
“I do not assume that we have seen something like this in trendy American politics,” Vance mentioned. “Gretchen Whitmer does this really bizarre thing where she acts like she’s given somebody communion, but it’s a Dorito. And of course, Gretchen Whitmer isn’t like a minister of anything except for, you know, a church I don’t necessarily want to talk about, but think about how sacrilegious that is and think about how offensive that is to every person.”
“Frankly, 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. And I think whether you’re a Christian, a Catholic or any other faith or no faith at all, 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,” Vance continued.

Whitmer has since apologized for the video and emphasised that the video was not meant to mock individuals of religion.
Vance continued talking concerning the assist the Trump administration has for non secular individuals, not like the Harris marketing campaign, he mentioned.
“There are a lot of Catholics. So I think rightfully feel abandoned by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s leadership. And they’re just looking for somebody to protect their rights and make this country an affordable and decent place to raise a family,” Vance mentioned throughout his rally in Waukesha.
“And that’s all I think that’s true of a lot of Catholics. It’s true of non-Catholics, too. But 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 feedback come after two pro-life Wisconsin faculty college students insisted that they have been doing “God’s work” by attending Harris’ rally on their college’s campus and shouting pro-life, Christian messages final week.

Harris, pausing her speech, turned her consideration to them, and mentioned, “You guys are at the wrong rally.”
She continued as the group roared, “I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street” – referring to Trump’s rally.
Luke Polaske, a College of Wisconsin-La Crosse junior, shared a vivid account of the incident from his perspective, stating that he and fellow UW-La Crosse junior Grant Beth have been roughly 20 to 30 yards away from Harris within the small venue. In detailing the encounter, he described his perceived interplay with the vice chairman.
“There’s a lot of controversy that says she wasn’t talking to us or [that] we left. We didn’t get kicked out. Well, I can speak on Grant and I’s behalf,” Polaske mentioned.

“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. She was actually waving to me. 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.”
“I just want to clear that up and confirm that she 100% was talking to us.”
