The Big Kamala Reveal

For months, since Joe Biden was dispensed with and Kamala Harris was inserted into the presidential  race without winning a single public vote, people have been asking, "Who is Kamala?" "What does she believe?" 

Two Christian university students were mocked by Harris and her followers for shouting, "Christ is King, Jesus is Lord," while an Islamic terrorist sympathizer was praised and her views explained in another Harris rally.

Her campaign slogan reads "A New Way Forward."

"Forward" to what?

That question has been pretty thoroughly answered over the past few days.

Be informed, not misled.

During her Thursday rally in Wisconsin, Vice President Kamala Harris mocked students who dared to proclaim that "Jesus is Lord" when she went on one of her pro-abortion rants. She insisted, "You guys are at the wrong rally," and cackled while they left the building.  

More on these two Christian students in a moment.

Now look at how candidate Kamala handled an anti-Israel activist who interrupted her rallies in contrast to how the Christians were treated and mocked.

Freedom of speech for a leftist.



The New York Post's Jonathan Levine shared a clip of the exchange. While the agitator was thrown out, Harris didn't cackle and joke about his points to mock them. 

During her remarks, a man is heard interrupting Harris' points about how "invested" she is in students with claims that Israel is committing genocide. 

As the agitator repeated his claims, Harris responded, "I respect your right to speak," also offering, "I know what you're speaking of." When prompted to explain herself, Harris said, "I want a ceasefire. I want the war to end."

The man was removed as he kept making claims about "genocide" and repeating pro-Hamas statistics about the number of people killed in Gaza, despite how it was acknowledged months ago that such numbers are inflated. That hasn't stopped the Biden-Harris White House from repeating those numbers,  and Harris even conceded the man's points.

Another clip shows the man wearing a keffiyeh, which has become something of a pro-Hamas, anti-Israel symbol since the October 7 attack against Israel, our strongest ally in the Middle East. Security politely but forcefully tells him that he has to leave before he is removed. 

Harris then took a moment and turned it into a "teaching" moment: She explained his position once he was out of the building. "Listen, what he’s talking about, it’s real. It’s real. That’s not the subject that I came to discuss today, but it’s real, and I respect his voice," she said. She then tried, awkwardly, to get back on track by repeating her narrative about an "opportunity economy."

Townhall notes:

Harris, and the Biden-Harris administration overall, have been increasingly anti-Israel and have been particularly hostile towards Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Both Harris and President Joe Biden refused to attend the prime minister's speech before a joint session of Congress in July, despite how it was the vice president's duty to reside. 

More recently, Harris gave particularly shameful non-answers and inarticulate responses about Israel during the "60 Minutes" interview that took place close to the anniversary of October 7. The Democratic nominee's responses were so terrible that CBS News was caught editing the clips and transcript of her response creating new answers to replace her incoherent answers.  

Such support for anti-Israel activists is also nothing new for Harris. It goes back years, in fact. In late September of 2021, Harris spoke to students at George Mason University, where one young woman claimed that Israel was committing "ethnic genocide." The vice president told the student that "I'm glad you did" bring it up and supported her for speaking "your truth," offering that it "cannot be suppressed."

But there's no freedom of speech for those pesky Christians in her secular "progressive" world.



The New York Post said yesterday, "A pair of Christian students trolled by Kamala Harris and mercilessly mocked by the crowd at her rally at the University of Wisconsin-La Cross last week insist they were 'there for the right reasons.'”

Grant Beth and Luke Polaske, both juniors at the school, told “Fox & Friends Weekend” that they felt persecuted akin to Jesus and his early followers after they shouted such things as “Christ is king!” when the Democratic vice president-turned-presidential candidate started talking about abortion rights.

One of them said Harris even sarcastically waved to him and gave him “an evil smirk” as he held up the cross around his neck and pointed to her while being mocked with his pal.

“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."

"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," he continued.

Polaske offered a vivid account of the incident from his perspective, stating that he and Beth were approximately 20 to 30 yards away from Harris in the small venue. He described his perceived interaction with the vice president in detailing the encounter.

"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," he said.

"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," he says.

Takeaway

The two Christian students left this for everyone who hears about their encounter with Kamala Harris:

"With just 16 days left before voters head to the polls to cast their votes for either Trump or Harris, Beth highlighted the incident as a warning sign to Christians to make the right decision."

"[It's] imperative for young Americans and first-time voters like myself to understand that this is what you are going to get with a Kamala Harris presidency. You are going to get the Kamala Harris that alienates over 50% of the U.S. population that is Christian. You're going to get the Kamala Harris that skips the Al Smith Memorial Dinner that no major presidential candidate has skipped since, I believe, Walter Mondale in 1984… it just proves what type of person Kamala is and what type of leader she will be."
