Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) amplified the shouts of a rally attendee yelling “Jesus is King” on Sunday, quickly responding, “That’s right,” before repeating the attendee’s statement.
Vance’s comment comes a few days after Vice President Kamala Harris was interrupted by rally attendees yelling “Jesus is Lord” at one of her campaign events, prompting her to stop her speech and say, “Oh, you guys are at the wrong rally.”
Vance, former President Donald Trump’s running mate, was speaking at his own rally in Wisconsin when someone could be heard shouting “Jesus is King.”
“That’s right. Jesus is king,” Vance said, who was met with applause from the audience.

Vance condemned Harris as “the candidate of anti-Christian and anti-Catholic bigotry,” whereas Trump is “the candidate of defending your First Amendment right to practice your faith however you want to.”

Vance also spoke about censorship, claiming one would never hear Trump supporting the silencing of someone he disagrees with. He then argued Harris will “often defend” silencing people in the United States, prompting him to state anyone supporting censorship should not lead “the world’s greatest constitutional republic.”
.@JDVance: Kamala Harris will often defend, not disagreeing with her fellow citizens, not persuading her fellow citizens, but trying to silence them. A person who believes in censorship is not fit to lead the world’s greatest Constitutional Republic. pic.twitter.com/3lDdIka3Uq

Vance’s rally in Wisconsin was held the same day Trump visited a McDonald’s restaurant in Pennsylvania, a jab at Harris’s claims she once worked at McDonald’s. Trump also held a town hall in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and is expected to attend Sunday night’s football game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Jets.
