Two college students claim they were the Trump supporters Kamala Harris wickedly snapped at during her rally in La Crosse, Wisconsin on Thursday.
The Democratic presidential nominee was speaking before an enthusiastic group at University of Wisconsin La Crosse. She was blasting former President Donald Trump for nominating the Supreme Court justices who helped overturn Roe v Wade.
‘Oh you guys are at the wrong rally,’ Harris said with a frown as her supporters cheered, before smiling and waving at them from the podium.
‘No I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street,’ she continued, a direct dig at the ex-president who has been very defensive over campaign rally crowd size.
Two of the protesters, University of Wisconsin-La Crosse juniors Grant Beth and Luke Polaske, say that Harris’ reaction was ‘evil’ and they were inspired by God to show up.

Beth said that not just the vice president but her entire crowd were cruel to the students.
‘I was pushed by an elderly woman. We were heckled at, we were cursed at, we were mocked, and that’s the biggest thing for me personally,’ Beth said.
‘In reflection of the event, Jesus was mocked. You know, his disciples were mocked, and that’s OK.
He added that at one point, Harris waved to them mockingly and gave them what he called ‘an evil smirk’ as he held up a cross.
‘She was actually waving to me. I took this cross off my neck that I wear, and as we were getting asked to leave, I held it up in the air and waved at her and pointed at her, and she looked directly in the eye, kind of gave me an evil smirk,’ Polaske said.
Beth says that no matter what people thought of them, they were there for the right reasons.
‘In reality, we did God’s work, and we were there for the right reasons, and God is watching us in this moment,’ Beth added.
‘I’m all about being a cordial person no matter your beliefs, but I do believe that we were sent there by God.’

Beth says that this mockery of Christians and her decision to skip the Catholic charities benefit Al Smith Dinner show her disdain for the faithful
‘This is what you are going to get with a Kamala Harris presidency,’ he told Fox News.
‘You are going to get the Kamala Harris that alienates over 50% of the US population that is Christian. You’re going to get the Kamala Harris that skips the Al Smith Memorial Dinner.’
Democrats in the room were over the moon with Harris’ treatments of Beth and Polaske.
‘Come on,’ the vice president said with a shrug before she moved on.
Harris supporters praised her quick response to the hecklers on social media.
One X user called it ‘Obama level wit’ while another wrote ‘OH SNAP!!!!! Kamala Harris shut them down so hard!’
A third supporter wrote ‘she smoked them!’

Vice President Harris put Trump on blast throughout her rally in La Crosse including slamming him for his remarks at the Univision town hall this week.
‘I want and intend to be a president for all Americans,’ Harris said. ‘And no matter their political party, where they live or where they get their news.’
‘And on that point, last night you may have seen, I went on Fox News,’ she 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,’ she said as the crowd booed.
‘We here know January 6th was a tragic day. It was a day of terrible violence. There were attacks on law enforcement. 140 law enforcement officers were injured, some were killed, and what did Donald Trump say last night about January 6th? He called it a “a day of love,”‘ Harris said.
The vice president said the statement points out something people there already know.
‘The Americans are exhausted with his gaslighting,’ Harris said. ‘Enough!’
