JD Vance will be attending a town hall moderated by a pastor who has likened Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris to a “Jezebel,” and accused her of using witchcraft during her Presidential debate.
The event, on Saturday September 28 at Monroeville Convention and Events Center in Pennsylvania, will be hosted by televangelist Lance Wallnau.
Wallnau, is an evangelical pastor who has been an outspoken Donald Trump supporter, and Harris detractor. He recently accused Harris of using witchcraft during the Presidential TV debate.

Following the debate Wallnau wrote a series of posts on X, previously Twitter, that detailed why he believed Harris was using the occult. He said: “When I say ‘witchcraft,’ I am talking about what happened tonight.”
He added, the morning after the debate, that Harris was employing “occult-empowered deception, manipulation, and domination.”
The preacher, who hosts the Lance Wallnau Show, clarified his comments later in the day on September 11, saying that the Vice President was allowed to spread misinformation at the debate, but Republican presidential nominee Trump was not.
He said: “[Kamala] knew she could speak 20 lies about Trump and not be contradicted. That was the arrangement.”
He claimed those actions were akin to witchcraft because she was “planting and reinforcing thoughts” in the minds of debate viewers in a way intended to manipulate people.
The Harris campaign has been contacted via email for comment.
Wallnau has also called Harris: “just George Soros with a skirt,” and a puppet of Obama, as well as likening her to “Jezebel,” calling her an “ominous” figure.
The town hall with Trump’s running mate, Vance, is part of Wallnau’s Courage Tour. Not to be confused with Celine Dion’s 2019 Courage World Tour, Wallnau’s tour is through the seven battleground states and is designed to drum up support for Trump through evangelical communities.

According to Pew research from April, 2024, Trump has the support of 81 percent of white Protestant Evangelical voters. He also is supported by 61 percent of white Catholics, and 57 percent of white, non Evangelical, Protestants.
However, 77 percent of Black protestant voters do not support Trump.

Wallnau has been a Trump supporter since 2016, when he likened Trump to the biblical figure of Cyrus, who was chosen by God to build the temple in Jerusalem.
Wallnau said that when he heard Trump speak, he heard God speaking through him. He also found symbolism in the numerical coincidence of Trump being the 45th President, and Cyrus being the subject of the 45th chapter of Isaiah.
Per Trump’s campaign website, the event will take place at Monroeville Convention and Events Center, 209 Mall Boulevard, Monroeville, PA 15146. Doors are at 9:00am, and the event starts at 1 p.m.
The town hall tickets are free by reservation at the Courage Tour’s website, or via Eventbrite.
