This Meme Against Kamala is a Fraud
 
Kamala Harris was conducting a rally the other day, and as she was discussing abortion, some crowd members began to boo and say unintelligible phrases. As the crowd turned towards the hecklers, Harris heckled the hecklers. "Oh, you guys are at the wrong rally," she said. "No, I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street."

Days later, social media posts popped up, suggesting the hecklers said, "Jesus is Lord." 

"Christians need to remember this," one user posted.

Of course, there is a video of the event, and you cannot hear the hecklers, saying "Jesus is Lord." So, the meme is but a fabrication, false in its claim.

Perhaps we sometimes are too quick in casting aspersions and judging. Sometimes (often, too much and frequently) we find evil in another person just because we want to find evil -- especially with political figures we don't like. Our narrative quickly matches our hatred and we despitefully pour our scorn on them and mock them.

Consider whether the accusation makes sense. Kamala is a church-going person. If she is going to church, that means she regularly worships God. So, now we have this political event -- at which she certainly doesn't want to alienate Christians -- and she would rebuke someone for saying "Jesus is  Lord"? In all that is honest about reasoning do you suppose she would take that opportunity to offend Christians? She is not against them, as is evidenced by her going to church, so why would she do that in front of a crowd of voters?

Extremists have pounced on her for this, sweeping reason aside and painting her to their liking. Forgive, but we do not need to follow them.

Do we accuse Harris of being against Christianity while not acting Christian, ourselves? The scriptures warn us against judging bearing false witness.
