Christian students respond after Kamala Harris mocks them for being at 'wrong rally' in Wisconsin

Two Christian students who were mocked by Kamala Harris and ridiculed by the crowd at her rally at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse last week claim they were “there for the right reasons.”

Grant Beth and Luke Polaske, both juniors at the university, told “Fox & Friends Weekend” that they felt persecuted, similar to Jesus and his early followers, after they shouted phrases like “Christ is King!” during the vice president and presidential candidate’s remarks on abortion rights.

One of them mentioned that Harris sarcastically waved at him and gave him “an evil smirk” as he held up a cross and pointed at her while they were being escorted out.

“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,” Beth said. “In reflection of the event, Jesus was mocked. You know, his disciples were mocked, and that’s OK."

He continued, “In reality, we did God’s work, and we were there for the right reasons, and God is watching us in this moment. I’m all about being a cordial person no matter your beliefs, but I do believe that we were sent there by God.”

The pair shouted, “Christ is King!” and “Jesus is Lord!” while being pushed by some attendees at the rally.

Eventually, Harris, 60, paused her speech to address them.

“You guys are at the wrong rally,” she quipped, receiving loud applause from the audience. “I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street.”

The incident quickly went viral on social media.

Harris' speech included comments on the economy and other key issues in the 2024 campaign. At one point, she briefly spoke about abortion and criticized former President Donald Trump for appointing three Supreme Court justices who helped overturn Roe v. Wade.

“When Congress passes a bill to restore reproductive freedom nationwide, as president of the United States, I will proudly, proudly sign it into law,” Harris declared.

Polaske said they were about 20 to 30 yards away from Harris during the event and claimed she gave him “an evil smirk” at one point.

“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,” he explained.
