Two Christian students Kamala Harris told were at the “wrong rally” spoke out about their experience at the Wisconsin event.

Grant Beth and Luke Polaske, both juniors at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, said Harris’ response to “Christ is king” and “Jesus is Lord” was insulting.

Here’s the clip:

From the New York Post:

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 and 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 booted 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,” he said. “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 were shouting, “Christ is King!” and “Jesus is Lord!” while getting shoved by some of the rally-goers.

“I want to thank @foxandfriends for allowing @GrantBeth4 and I to share our story and message on a national platform. I also want to thank my late father, Paul Polaske, for inspiring me to strive to believe in something much bigger than myself—my faith,” Polaske wrote.

“I do believe I am here for a greater purpose. I do believe Jesus died and rose again for my sins. I do believe Jesus used us as a vessel to gain traction on abortion. I am not perfect, nor do I ever claim to be, but I do pray that Christ finds everyone who sees this message, Republican or Democrat, Christian or atheist, Pro-Life or Pro-Choice. I hope He touches the hearts of lost souls and the unsaved as he did with me,” he continued.

Polaske said to his Christian family:

Christianity is the most hated and persecuted religion in the world. I have seen this firsthand when my faith was mocked and insulted by the Vice President of the United States. I hope as Christians we do not compromise our morals to vote for a woman who does not care about our faith. We are in the midst of a spiritual warfare this election cycle. With that being said, let’s not forget what we are taught to do as Christians. Christ tells us that if the world hates you, remember that it hated Him first. He tells us to love thy neighbor as thyself. He tells us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. In Jesus’ name, every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Because in the end, WE WIN ✝️.

Scott Presler shared additional footage from the Wisconsin rally:

Per Fox News:

Vice President Harris held a rally on UW-La Crosse’s campus last Thursday, where she spoke about the economy and bettering the lives of middle-class Americans. Reproductive freedom also came into the picture as she pledged to the crowd, “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 also criticized former President Trump for deliberately “hand-selecting” three Supreme Court justices with the ultimate goal of overturning Roe v. Wade.

Luke Polaske, another UW-La Crosse junior, sharply rebuked the remarks made by Harris, decrying abortion as a “sacrament to Satan.”

“When I said that, I deeply do believe that as a Christian,” he said.

“About ten seconds go by, and that’s when the video of my friend Grant and I are proclaiming that ‘Christ is Lord’ and ‘Jesus is king’… [that’s] when we said that.”

In video footage of the rally, the air is rife with commotion as Beth and Polaske’s voices are heard shouting the phrases.

Harris, pausing her speech, turned her attention to them, and said, “You guys are at the wrong rally.”
