'You're at the right rally': Vance reaches out to Christians in final election push

Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance on Friday urged Christians to turn out to vote, pointing to the Democrats' mockery or belittling of their faith as evidence they would not preserve religious liberty.

"You know, of course, there was the rally where somebody shouted something," he said at a rally in Monroe, North Carolina. "It was a simple I think they said 'Jesus is Lord,' and Kamala Harris said you're at the wrong rally. Well, if you think Jesus is Lord, you're at the right rally."

Harris attracted widespread scrutiny for remarking that two protesters who shouted "Jesus is Lord" at her campaign event were "at the wrong rally."

Vance also pointed to a recent video in which Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, D-Mich., appeared to simulate Holy Communion using a Dorito with a popular influence.

"[O]ne of Kamala Harris's chief allies Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer is pretending to give Holy Communion, and she's like, doing it with a Dorito, with some weird podcast star," Vance remarked. "Like, the only reason you would do that is to slap Christians in the face and insult them."

"And the people that are trying to insult your faith, they're sure as heck not going to protect your faith when the time comes to protect it," he warned.

Vance himself is a practicing Catholic and has been public about his conversion. His remarks came in response to a question about reports that millions of Christians planned not to vote.

"I've heard this statistic, Joe, that 30 million church going Christians aren't even registered to vote in the United States of America. And I really think that is, look, we've got to get people who care about religious liberty out there to vote," he said.
