Kamala Harris (D), responding to Oprah Winfrey who was saying that she was surprised when Harris said at the debate with former President Donald J. Trump (R) that she is a gun owner, said: "If somebody breaks into my house, they're getting shot. Probably should not have said that. My staff will deal with that later." That’s quoting the WND News Center and the X-post shown below.

Per the WND News Center, that exchange was: "If somebody breaks into my house, they're getting shot," she stated. "Sorry, probably shouldn't have said that! Ha ha ha!" They also reported that: “Kamala Harris, on record as wanting to ban all of whatever she describes as "assault" weapons, on record as calling for mandatory gun confiscations, on record as demanding her right to walk into any home to check whether legal gun owners are storing their equipment properly, now has threatened to shoot anyone who breaks into her home.”

That same video clip between Kamala Harris (D) and Oprah Winfrey is being used by pro-Trump sources.

The right-leaning Gateway Pundit said: "Gun Control Hypocrite Kamala Harris Admits on Live TV That She and Walz Are Gun Owners and She Would Shoot Intruders, Then Regrets Saying It."

Gateway Pundit further said, "The hypocrisy is glaring. Here is a woman who has championed gun control measures for years, pushing for an assault weapons ban, mandatory gun buyback programs, and tighter restrictions on law-abiding gun owners—yet she is quick to admit she would use her firearm."

Their perspective continued, "For many, Harris's sudden revelation about owning a gun, followed by her admission that she would shoot an intruder, is the ultimate example of liberal hypocrisy. How can someone so vehemently advocate for gun control while simultaneously enjoying the protection of a firearm?"

The tweets (X-posts) that follow appear to cross the left-right spectrum.
