“I’m a gun owner; Tim Walz is a gun owner,” Harris said.

“I did not know that,” Winfrey replied.

“If somebody breaks into my house, they’re getting shot,” Harris added. “Probably should not have said that. But my staff will deal with that later.”

The article has a video clip. I love the bullshit “probably…” It’s a 100% certainty she spoke with her staff and workshopped the phrasing and presentation of gun stuff. Plus I bet she practiced her lines. No American politician is going to wing it when talking about guns.

    The goal of the Democratic Party is to become the Republican Party, not to win elections.

    Let’s put it this way: the goal is to capture Republican donors, not to capture Republican voters. Two separate things.

      Oh don’t get me wrong I’m not trying to say that they’re actively trying to win voters and elections and that this is their best effort at that. I just don’t think this little show is going to be enough to win an election this time – accidentally or otherwise – in spite of how bad Trump seems to be doing from the outside.
