Vice-presidential candidate JD Vance took Kamala Harris to task over her bias against Christians, specifically Catholics. Vance makes his remarks in a new opinion column released today.
He blasted Harris for bias against pro-life Christians.
In 2019, Ms. Harris also introduced the equally misnamed “Do No Harm Act,” which would force Catholic hospitals to perform abortions and even transgender surgeries. If this bill were to become law, Catholic doctors and medical professionals who refuse to perform late-term abortions or subject minors to dangerous, life-altering surgeries could lose their license and face federal discrimination lawsuits.
It gets worse. In 2016, a whistleblower in California provided evidence that Planned Parenthood was illegally trafficking organs and tissue from aborted babies. Ms. Harris, then the Attorney General of California, ordered a raid on the home of the whistleblower to seize the evidence.
Vance also condemned how Biden and Harris have put pro-life Americans in prison for protesting abortion.
In the White House, Ms. Harris has been an integral part of the most anti-Catholic administration in living memory — ironic given President Joe Biden’s Catholic faith.

Last year, multiple FBI field offices were tied to a coordinated effort to target traditional Catholics as potential “racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists.” Despite this apparently clear-cut instance of anti-Catholic prejudice, a Biden-Harris Department of Justice declared there was “no malicious intent” behind the memo.
Then there is the case of Mark Houck, a Catholic pro-life activist and father of seven who had his home swarmed by more than a dozen heavily armed FBI agents in a 2022 dawn raid that terrorized his wife and young children. Houck’s crime? Shoving an aggressive, expletive-hurling pro-abortion activist away from his young son — charges which a jury unanimously acquitted him of.
But while the Biden-Harris DOJ wanted to throw Mark Houck in jail for more than a decade, they recommended no jail time for an unhinged pro-abortion activist who attacked a church employee, smashed windows, and defaced religious statues in Washington.
It’s an absurd double standard. While this administration has been busy targeting suburban Catholic dads, it has essentially ignored the nearly 300 attacks on Catholic churches since the leak of the Dobbs v. Jackson Supreme Court decision in 2022.
In the article, Vance criticizes Harris for exhibiting anti-Catholic prejudice during the confirmation hearings of Amy Coney Barrett for the Supreme Court. Vance points out that Harris’s line of questioning suggested that Barrett’s Catholic beliefs could interfere with her ability to serve as an impartial judge.
He argues that such attitudes reflect a broader trend of religious intolerance in American politics, particularly against Catholics and those with traditional religious views. Vance calls for more respect toward religious diversity and condemns bigotry targeting people’s faith.
He concludes by warning that prejudice against religious individuals could damage the country’s moral and political fabric if left unchecked.
Vance said:
As a Catholic myself, I have a personal investment in ending this consistent pattern of anti-Catholic policies and actions. But even non-Catholics and nonreligious Americans should be alarmed.
If politicians can use the power of the government to target Catholics for their faith or force them into compromising their beliefs, they can trample any of the rights we hold dear if those rights get in the way of their agenda.
