Christians ‘Not Welcome’ in Harris’ America, Vance Says  

Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for president, has a level of contempt for American Christians who are trying to help their neighbors, Sen. JD Vance said at a campaign stop in Las Vegas on Wednesday. 

“Kamala Harris has this attitude, that if you’re a Christian, and you’re trying to do charitable work … well, don’t even come knocking, because you’re not welcome in the United States of America,” said Vance, R-Ohio, the Republican vice presidential nominee.  

Vance cited the scourge of drugs, telling supporters there are many Christians and other people of faith who would love to help those in their communities who are addicted to drugs through counseling and recovery centers.  

Former President Donald Trump’s vice presidential running mate said that the federal government is making it difficult for them to do that.  

“Right now, the government makes it way too hard for people of faith who love their communities to get involved with helping their neighbors,” Vance asserted. “Donald Trump and I want to be allies of anyone who is trying to help make their communities better, because that’s the American way, and I love that about this country.”  

Vance isn’t the first person to suggest that Harris displays hostility toward Christians.  

A male Christian college student who attended an Oct. 17 Harris rally in Wisconsin said later in an interview on Fox News that he was assaulted by attendees at the event after a protester yelled “Christ is king” and “Jesus is Lord.” 

The student said Harris then told him and a fellow Christian, “You guys are at the wrong rally.” Video commentary on the incident has sprung up on social media.  

Harris skipped this year’s annual Al Smith Dinner, a bipartisan event held that same night by Catholic charities in New York City that raises “millions of dollars for New York’s most vulnerable women and children,” according to its website.  

Vance concluded his Las Vegas speech Wednesday by saying that all people who want to help their neighbors are welcome under Trump.  

“Whether you’re Christian, Jew, nonbeliever … if you’re trying to help your neighbors, you’ve got a place in Donald Trump’s Republican Party, and we hope that we can earn your support,” he said.
