Vice President Kamala Harris told a protester shouting “Jesus is Lord” that they were “at the wrong rally,” prompting a strong reaction from political figures, including Dr. Ben Carson. The former U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development commented on the incident, questioning Harris’s stance and the message she conveyed.
“Maybe she doesn’t belong,” Dr. Carson remarked, expressing his concerns over Harris’s dismissal of a religious expression. Carson, a devout Christian, found her response troubling and suggested that it reflects a larger issue within the current administration’s approach to faith and religious freedom.
The event unfolded when a protester interrupted Harris’s speech by shouting “Jesus is Lord.” Instead of engaging with the remark, Harris responded with, “You’re at the wrong rally,” drawing applause from the crowd. The comment, however, quickly stirred controversy, with some criticizing Harris for being dismissive of religious values, while others defended her stance, arguing that the rally was not the appropriate venue for such statements.
Dr. Carson’s criticism highlights the tension between religious conservatives and the Biden-Harris administration. Carson, a well-known figure in conservative Christian circles, emphasized that freedom of speech and religious expression should be respected, even in political settings.
“Religion is a cornerstone of this country, and to tell someone they don’t belong at a rally simply because they invoke the name of Jesus is not the America I know,” Carson stated. “It’s troubling when leaders dismiss faith so easily.”
The exchange has become a flashpoint in the ongoing culture war, with some viewing Harris’s response as emblematic of a broader issue within the Democratic Party. Critics argue that the party has increasingly distanced itself from traditional religious values, while others say Harris’s reaction was justified, given the nature of the event.
Supporters of Harris argue that the protester’s remark was disruptive and unrelated to the rally’s focus. “This was a political event, not a religious sermon,” said one Harris supporter. “Kamala’s job was to stay on message and address the crowd, not engage with every protester.”
However, religious leaders like Carson see it differently. “Even if it was a political event, dismissing someone because they mentioned Jesus is a slippery slope,” Carson added. “It sends a message that faith isn’t welcome in the public sphere.”
The incident comes at a time when religious freedom and the role of faith in public life are hotly debated issues. Carson’s remarks have added fuel to the conversation, with many religious conservatives rallying behind his critique.
As the story continues to make waves, the Vice President has yet to address the controversy directly. Meanwhile, religious leaders like Dr. Carson continue to question the administration’s commitment to respecting the diverse beliefs of its citizens.
