Kamala Harris’ long history of anti-religious discrimination

Let’s not sugarcoat it—Kamala Harris is a bigot. It’s not a comfortable word, but it’s the only word that fits when describing someone who consistently targets people of faith, particularly Catholics, with such blatant disregard for their beliefs.

Remember 2018? Harris, then a senator, launched an attack on the Knights of Columbus, a fraternal organization with a long history of charitable work, all because of its ties to Catholicism. During the nomination hearing of Brian Buescher for a federal judgeship, Harris criticized the Knights for being an “all-male society comprised primarily of Catholic men,” but her real gripe wasn’t about gender or inclusivity. It was about faith. Harris called the Knights’ core beliefs “extremist,” essentially arguing that adherence to Catholic teachings disqualified Buescher from serving as a judge.

This wasn’t just an opinion; it was an unconstitutional religious test for office, a direct violation of Article VI of the U.S. Constitution. But did Harris care? Of course not. She’s more interested in advancing her agenda than in protecting the rights of people of faith.

In Harris’s America, if your religion conflicts with her political ideology, you don’t belong in public office. She doesn’t believe in the Constitution; she believes in power, and she’s willing to trample on religious liberty to get it.

Harris is part of the left’s new religion—one where traditional faith stays locked behind closed doors, and only those willing to abandon their beliefs are allowed to participate in society. Take her support for the Orwellianly titled “Do No Harm Act.” Under this bill, health-care workers would be forced to perform procedures like abortion, even if it violated their deeply held religious beliefs. Charitable organizations like the Little Sisters of the Poor—an order of celibate nuns, mind you—would be shut down for refusing to betray Catholic teachings on human sexuality.

According to Harris, using the law to discriminate against someone based on their religion is perfectly fine. But let’s be clear: the Supreme Court has repeatedly rejected this view. Yet, Harris and her allies on the left continue their relentless campaign to keep religious Americans from living their faith openly.

It gets worse. Harris supported the so-called Equality Act, a bill that would have required religious institutions—churches, schools, charities—to violate their core beliefs in the name of “gender ideology.” This bill would have stripped faith-based organizations of their religious rights, enabling the government to prosecute them for refusing to hire people who openly oppose their teachings.

The Equality Act wasn’t just a threat to religious freedom; it was an outright assault on it. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, known for their measured language, said the act would “run roughshod over religious liberty.” But Harris didn’t care. Her agenda comes first, and if that means steamrolling the Constitution, so be it.

As California’s attorney general, Harris backed the FACT Act, a law that would have forced pregnancy centers—many of them explicitly Catholic or Christian—to refer women to abortion clinics. She also tried to force Hobby Lobby and other religious employers to cover abortion pills in their health-care plans. In both cases, the Supreme Court had to step in to protect the conscience rights of religious Americans.

Kamala Harris doesn’t believe you can be both a Knight of Columbus and a federal employee. She believes Christian doctors should be forced to perform abortions. She thinks Catholic-school teachers should be forced to teach gender ideology. But if you’re a practicing Catholic or a faithful Christian, she thinks you’re the extremist.

In reality, it’s Harris who’s the extremist. She’s shown time and again that she’s willing to use the power of the state to marginalize, silence, and punish people of faith. Kamala Harris thinks like a bigot because she is one. And that’s the truth, whether she wants to hear it or not.
