During a campaign rally on October 17, in La Crosse, Wisconsin, Vice President Kamala Harris was speaking about reproductive freedom when two protestors interrupted her yelling “Christ is King” and “Jesus is Lord.”
“Oh, you guys are at the wrong rally,” Harris retorted, eliciting applause and cheers from her crowd. “I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street.”
Evangelicals have their panties in a twist, excoriating Harris for having the temerity to put the hecklers in their place. They have called her everything from Jezebel to the Antichrist.
Shouting “Jesus is Lord” is kosher when an evangelical pastor is preaching to his flock, or when the orange messiah is ranting and raving at a MAGA rally.
Silencing the Christian hecklers by advising them that they were at the wrong rally doesn’t mean that Harris is anti-Christian, it means that she won’t put up with male white evangelical troublemakers trying to silence a woman of color, especially when she’s speaking on the subject of women having sovereignty over their own bodies.
The Christian students who rudely interrupted Harris claim they were led by the Holy Spirt, but the reality is that they were led by political considerations.
An evangelical shouting “Jesus is Lord” at a Harris rally that celebrates diversity freedom and “girl power” is as welcome as a radical Islamist shouting “Allahu Akbar” at a MAGA rally that celebrates white Christian nationalism.
