A University of Wisconsin-La Crosse student claims he was kicked out of a Kamala Harris rally for expressing his religious beliefs. Grant Beth, who appeared on the Charlie Kirk Show, shared his side of the story, insisting that his removal from the event was rooted in religious intolerance.

Beth described the scene at the rally, saying that he and a group of peers stood approximately 20-30 yards from the Vice President. According to Beth, the incident began when Harris brought up the topic of abortion. Beth responded by saying, “Abortion is a sacrament of Satan,” and quickly followed up with “Christ is King, Jesus is Lord.” Beth claimed that the crowd’s reaction was swift and hostile. “People started booing us,” Beth said. He also noted that Harris allegedly responded to their chants, with her campaign later posting about the incident as a “clap back” against protesters.

“In reality, she was attacking our faith,” Beth argued. “And she was attacking a majority of people in this country.” He further alleged that the situation escalated beyond verbal confrontation, saying, “I was pushed by an elderly woman, so, assaulted, for our actions.” He framed the incident as part of a growing trend of religious discrimination, explaining that it poses a dangerous precedent for a country “deeply rooted in faith.”

“We have the First Amendment right in this country to practice and protest our faith… I want people around the world to understand what something like this does if Kamala becomes president. She is now publicly against religion in this country.” Beth stressed that his message is especially directed toward college students. “No matter if you are religious, you can come to God,” he urged. “To have that denounced by a president is extremely… violent in a way, and it is a scary thing to happen so publicly.”

Last week in La Crosse, Harris took the stage to promote her agenda, focusing on topics like abortion rights and reproductive health. As Harris was addressing the crowd, a voice from the audience interrupted, shouting, “Jesus is Lord!” It was this moment that ignited a firestorm, as Harris responded with what some see as a dismissive and anti-Christian comment: “Oh, I think you guys are at the wrong rally.”

The response, which appeared to mock the Christian faith, was immediately met with outrage. The state has been a key battleground for both parties, with a diverse voter base that includes a significant number of Christian voters.

Wisconsin has become one of the most critical battleground states in the U.S. electorate, especially in recent presidential elections. What makes Wisconsin crucial in the electoral college is not just its swing status but also its role as part of the “Blue Wall” that Democrats count on to win elections. Along with Pennsylvania and Michigan, Wisconsin is a must-win state for any Democratic presidential candidate hoping to build a winning coalition in the Midwest. Losing any of these states significantly narrows a Democrat’s path to victory, while Republicans see it as an opportunity to chip away at traditionally blue states.
