(PM.) Vice President Kamala Harris, after saying that she would shoot someone if they broke into her house, is backtracking. A top aide for the Democratic nominee in the 2024 election now claim she was only “joking” when she made the comments in an interview with Oprah Winfrey.
According to the Telegraph, after Harris made the comment to Oprah, “If someone breaks into my house, they’re getting shot,” in an interview with the television host, Harris campaign adviser Keisha Lance Bottoms said in response to the viral moment, “It was a joke, and she knew that we would still be talking about it today.”
The aide added, “I think it‘s important that people know that the vice president respects the right to bear arms, that she supports the Second Amendment, but she wants responsible gun ownership, and she wants our communities to be safe.”
