Two college students claim they were the Trump supporters Kamala Harris viciously criticized during his rally in La Crosse, Wisconsin on Thursday.
The Democratic presidential candidate spoke to an enthusiastic crowd at the University of Wisconsin La Crosse. He was criticizing former President Donald Trump for nominating the Supreme Court justices who helped overturn Roe v Wade.
“Oh, guys, you’re at the wrong rally,” Harris said with a frown as his supporters cheered, before smiling and waving at them from the podium.
“No, I think you wanted to go to the smaller one at the end of the street,” he continued, in a direct dig at the former president, who has been very defensive about the size of the crowd at campaign rallies.
Two of the protesters, University of Wisconsin-La Crosse juniors Grant Beth and Luke Polaske, say Harris’ reaction was “evil” and that they were inspired by God to show up.
Grant Beth, a junior at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, is one of two college students who claim to be the Trump supporters Kamala Harris photographed at her rally in La Crosse, Wisconsin, on Thursday.
Beth said that not only the vice president but his entire crowd were cruel to the students.
“An older lady pushed me. “They booed us, they cursed at us, they made fun of us, and that’s the biggest thing for me personally,” Beth said.
‘As a reflection of the event, Jesus was mocked. You know, they made fun of their disciples, and that’s okay.
He added that at one point, Harris mockingly greeted them and gave them what he called “an evil smile” while holding a cross.
‘She was actually saying hello to me. I took this cross off my neck that I wear, and when they asked us to leave, I lifted it up in the air and waved at her and pointed at her, and she looked me right in the eye, kind of giving me an evil look. smile of satisfaction,” Polaske said.
Beth says that no matter what people thought of them, they were there for the right reasons.
“We actually did God’s work and were there for the right reasons, and God is watching us right now,” Beth added.
“I mean being a warm person no matter what your beliefs, but I think we were sent there by God.”
Luke Polaske says Harris’ reaction was ‘evil’ and they were inspired by God to come forward
Vice President Kamala Harris appears to fire off Trump supporters who disrupted her campaign rally in La Crosse, Wisconsin.
Beth says this mockery of Christians and his decision to skip the Catholic benefit dinner for Al Smith shows his contempt for the faithful.
“This is what you’re going to get with a Kamala Harris presidency,” he told Fox News.
‘You will get the Kamala Harris who alienates more than 50% of the Christian population of the United States. You’ll get the Kamala Harris who skips the Al Smith memorial dinner.
Democrats in the room were delighted with Harris’ treatment of Beth and Polaske.
“Come on,” the vice president said with a shrug before continuing.
Harris supporters praised her quick response to hecklers on social media.
One X user called him ‘Obama-level wit’ while another wrote ‘OH SNAP!!!!! Kamala Harris cracked them down so hard!’
A third follower wrote “she smoked them!”
Kamala Harris speaking at a rally in La Crosse, WI on Thursday, October 17. It was one of several stops the vice president made Thursday in the battleground state.
Vice President Harris sharply criticized Trump during his rally in La Crosse, even criticizing him for his comments at the Univision town hall this week.
“I want and intend to be a president for all Americans,” Harris said. “And it doesn’t matter what their political party is, where they live or where they get their news from.”
“And on that point, as you may have seen, I went on Fox News last night,” he said with a smile.
“And while I was doing that, Donald Trump was at a Univision town hall where a voter asked him about January 6,” he said as the crowd booed.
‘Here we know that January 6 was a tragic day. It was a day of terrible violence. There were attacks on law enforcement. 140 law enforcement officers were injured, some died, and what did Donald Trump say last night about January 6? He called it “a day of love,” Harris said.
The vice president said the statement points out something people already know.
“Americans are tired of their gaslighting,” Harris said. ‘Enough!’
