Kamala is clearly trying to be someone she isn’t.
In a surprising moment during a livestreamed rally hosted by Oprah Winfrey, Vice President Kamala Harris made headlines by declaring that she would defend her home against intruders. “If someone breaks into my home, they are getting shot, sorry,” she said, aiming to address concerns from gun owners who might view her party’s stance on firearms with skepticism.
This candid remark came during the “Unite for America” event, prompting laughter and agreement from Winfrey, who seemed taken aback by the vice president’s boldness. “Probably should not have said that,” Harris added, acknowledging the potential backlash.
While the vice president enjoys the security of Secret Service protection at her residence, this statement raises eyebrows given her previous criticisms of laws that allow homeowners to use deadly force against intruders. In past statements, Harris has argued that such laws are often misused, suggesting they can perpetuate racial bias and lead to unnecessary violence.
During the rally, Winfrey also probed Harris about her claims of gun ownership, which the vice president reiterated. “We’re not taking anyone’s guns away,” she stated, referring to herself and her running mate, Tim Walz. However, she expressed opposition to what she termed “assault weapons,” a term she did not clearly define.
Despite her attempts to position herself as a pro-gun candidate, the lack of details regarding her own firearm ownership—such as the type of gun or how long she has owned it—leaves many questions unanswered.
Notably, the event featured appearances from various celebrities, including Chris Rock and Julia Roberts, who joined in to praise Harris. As the 2024 election approaches, her statements could play a crucial role in shaping the perceptions of voters who prioritize Second Amendment rights. Harris’s mixed messages could leave both supporters and critics wondering where she truly stands on the vital issue of gun ownership.
