Recently, the progressive left has managed to outdo themselves in a spectacular display of hypocrisy—this time, starring none other than Vice President Kamala Harris. At a recent campaign event, Harris found herself in a bit of a pickle when a group of attendees decided to express their faith by declaring, “Christ is King; Jesus is Lord.” Now, one might expect a leader in a democratic society to encourage free speech, but it turns out that the Vice President has a different definition of “freedom.”
Imagine being a supporter, hoping to catch a glimpse of the vice president and hear her thoughts on the future of America. Instead, you get treated to a dramatic scene from a political thriller. Harris promptly dismissed these faith-filled individuals, suggesting they were at the wrong rally—perhaps referencing that tiny event down the street where free speech is a no-go zone. Quite an eye-opener. Looks like the only “King” Harris recognized was the one that suited her agenda. It’s a classic case of “you can talk, but not too much.”
Now, let’s take a moment to channel a little humor here. If the P in KLA stands for “Preacher,” perhaps we need a few more churchgoers to remind her of the First Amendment. It’s almost ironic that she couldn’t handle a simple proclamation of faith. Meanwhile, over in Ohio at JD Vance’s campaign stop, something similar happened when he faced the same cry of “Christ is King.” Yet, his response was remarkably different. Rather than calling security or tossing people out like yesterday’s leftovers, Vance decided to embrace the moment and rally everyone together in good spirits. Funny how one candidate sings along while the other changes the station.
Let’s address the elephant in the room. The stark contrast between how conservative and liberal leaders handle expressions of faith reflects broader questions about their values. On one side, you have leaders who promote tolerance and celebrate diverse opinions—even when faced with direct political challenges from religious folks. On the other, you have progressives who seem to melt down at the mere mention of Jesus. So much for tolerance! It’s almost like they misunderstand or perhaps fear the concept of free speech.
In a world where free expression should reign supreme, the last thing you want is a politician who reacts to faith with fear. Harris’s discomfort at the sound of faith echoes a common trend in progressive circles: a growing hostility towards any viewpoint not aligned with their increasingly fragile narrative. It’s clear that in their eyes if you can’t hashtag it or make it trendy, it’s better left unsaid—or tossed out of a rally entirely.
As amusing as this spectacle has been, it also sheds light on the urgent need for a political environment that embraces differing opinions. In America, we should all be free to express ourselves by waving a flag or proclaiming a faith. Liberals might want to note that it’s not just about being heard; it’s about making sure all voices can be part of the conversation—even those declaring that their Savior is King. So here’s a friendly reminder from the far-right corner of the internet: let’s keep the rallies open and the voices loud because, after all, everyone deserves a seat at the table… just not the Vice President’s table, apparently.
