“You guys are at the wrong rally,” she said. And she was right. Kamala Harris was right.

The two Christian students she was talking to, Luke Polaske and Grant Beth, both juniors at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, had chosen to attend her rally on their campus, and they believed they were doing God’s work when they waded into that lion’s den and waited for the right moment to stand up in the audience and loudly proclaim “Christ is King!” and “Jesus is Lord!”

That moment came when Harris began talking about abortion — or, as those on the Left like to call it, “reproductive freedom.” (To be clear, abortion is about a lot of things, but it’s not about “reproductive freedom.” It’s not about reproducing; it’s about not reproducing.)

Harris pledged, “When Congress passes a bill to restore reproductive freedom nationwide, as president of the United States, I will proudly, proudly sign it into law.” She then railed against Donald Trump’s three conservative Supreme Court appointments, who were instrumental in the righteous overturning of the abominable 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling. She noted that “they did as he intended,” and that’s when Polaske and Beth made their voices heard.

To which the fundamentally mean-spirited Harris smirked and replied, “Oh, you guys are at the wrong rally.” Emboldened by the cheering crowd, she added, “No, I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street.”

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.”

Thus, Harris chased away a couple of young Christians, one of whom, Polaske, said that until that moment, he’d been undecided about who he was going to vote for, Trump or Harris. He’s no longer undecided. “When she talked about abortion, something went through my mind as a Christian that this isn’t right. And that’s when I said Jesus is Lord.”

Abortion, increasingly, is the only issue the Democrats have, and Harris has been pounding it on the campaign trail. What’s odd, though, is how the Democrats have, at the same time, come to embrace a particular biblical passage that they believe puts them on some sort of moral high ground.

“Whatever happened to, ‘I was hungry and you fed me? I was a stranger and you welcomed me?’” That was former Democrat presidential candidate and current Biden Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg back in 2020, scolding Republicans for some offense against the state. As the Associated Press reported at the time:

Buttigieg is hardly the first Democrat to invoke the biblical verses of Matthew 25 in which Jesus Christ reminds his followers that their true measure comes from how they treat “the least of these my brethren.” Former President Barack Obama quoted from that biblical passage in 2008, while addressing popular megachurch pastor Rick Warren’s congregation during his first White House bid, and a political action committee that helped Obama’s campaign that year was dubbed the Matthew 25 Network.

I’m familiar with that biblical passage. It’s one of the most moving and most beautiful in the Good Book. But I don’t think it means what they think it means. Because “the least of these my brethren” are surely those of us who are in their mothers’ wombs.

What’s most instructive about last week’s brief exchange between Harris and the two Christians, though, was the meanness of her response. She’s clearly intolerant of Christians who would stand up and profess their faith, and she blew an opportunity to rise above it. She could’ve thanked them for attending. She could’ve commended them for speaking out, even though she deeply disagrees with them. Instead, she opted for snark and viciousness.

The two young men left to jeers. On his way out of the venue, Beth was shoved by an elderly woman. Last night, Fox News’s Laura Ingraham observed that if they’d instead announced that they were transitioning, they’d have gotten a standing ovation.

Ultimately, what we saw in Wisconsin was just the latest instance in a long pattern. We remember Barack Obama’s notorious “bitter clinger” remarks when, as a candidate in April of 2008, he talked about the difficulty he’d been having with working-class voters in Pennsylvania and the Midwest: “And it’s not surprising,” he said, “that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”

And more recently, we remember the offensive and utterly tasteless video posted to Instagram last week in which Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer is seen feeding a Doritos chip, communion style, to feminist author Liz Plank, who is suggestively positioned on her knees. Whitmer was ultimately forced to apologize, but folks of faith won’t soon forget.

Nor, we hope, will Christians forget Harris’s behavior toward them, which includes her no-show at the traditional Al Smith Dinner for Catholic charities in New York. On the campaign trail, she likes to say, “We aren’t going back.” Back to what, the Bible?

Clearly, Kamala Harris has a Christian problem. The question, though, is whether Christians have a Kamala Harris problem.

We’ll learn the answer in exactly two weeks.
