Vice President Kamala Harris mocked two Christian student protestors for shouting “Christ is King” during an event at the University of Wisconsin on Thursday before having them removed from the rally.
Video from the rally shows two University of Wisconsin juniors, Luke Polaske and Grant Beth, shouting “Christ is Lord” and “Christ is King,” before Vice President Harris mocks them to thunderous applause.
“Oh you guys are at the wrong rally, no, I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street,” said Harris.
The students spoke with Fox News on Sunday, telling their side of the story after the clip of Harris’s comments went viral.
They began shouting at Harris when she mentioned abortion, and Polaske replied, calling it the “sacrament of Satan,” about ten seconds before the viral clip began.
Polaske claimed that they were shoved and mocked by rally attendees and that Harris waved directly at them.
He reached for the cross around his neck and held it up to Harris, whom he claimed looked him in the eyes and gave him an “evil smirk.”
The two students believe that Harris was mocking Jesus and the Christian faith in general when she addressed them at the rally.
“In reflection of the event, Jesus was mocked. You know, his disciples were mocked, and that’s okay. In reality, we did God’s work, and we were there for the right reasons, and God is watching us at this moment,” said Beth.
Republican Vice Presidential Nominee Sen. J.D. Vance (Ohio) starkly contrasted Harris when someone yelled “Jesus Christ is King” during his Wisconsin rally on Sunday.
Unlike Harris, Vance agreed with the rally attendee.
“That’s right, Jesus is King,” said Sen. Vance.
Harris’ University of Wisconsin rally occurred on the same day that she declined to attend the Al Smith dinner, organized by the Catholic Diocese of New York as a fundraiser for Catholic Charities.

Since 1960, both major party candidates have set aside their differences to attend the dinner for a night of comedy and roasts.
Kamala Harris became the first major party candidate to decline an invitation to the dinner since Walter Mondale did so in 1984.
Mondale went on to lose to former President Ronald Reagan in every state except Minnesota.
Former President Donald Trump attended and delivered nearly half an hour’s worth of jokes, while Harris sent in a pre-recorded video featuring a mocking depiction of a Catholic stereotype.
After shunning the Al Smith Dinner and mocking the Christian students at her rally on Monday, Harris campaigned at the black New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Atlanta during its Sunday service.
In that appearance, Harris used Christianity to appeal to Black Christian voters, using the gospel to further her campaign.
