Vice President Kamala Harris raised eyebrows when she revealed she was a gun owner but one top House Republican isn’t buying her claim.
Rep. James Comer (R-KY) said Harris’s claim that she owns a gun and anyone breaking into her house is “getting shot” runs “counter” to all of her previous public remarks on gun ownership.
Speaking on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures” with anchor Maria Bartiromo, Comer suggested Harris was flip-flopping again after her comments in an interview with Oprah Winfrey last week.

“I don’t think anyone believes that Kamala Harris is a gun owner,” the chairman of the House Oversight Committee said Sunday.
“But if she is, she needs to tell the American people what type of gun she has,” he added, contending that her comments were in response to rising crime in the nation.
“Look, this is all about crime. And when you look at the polling, Biden-Harris are getting killed in the polling with the issue of crime, which is a huge issue in the suburbs and it’s definitely an issue in urban America,” Comer told Bartiromo.
“So just like Kamala Harris has flipped on the issue of wanting to have a southern border wall now, when she used to say it was racist, now she’s trying to imply that she’s scared like everyone else,” the congressman noted.
“So she has a gun to protect her family. I mean, this is totally counter for what Kamala Harris has said her entire political career,” he said.
After Harris made the comment, she quipped that her staff would probably have to clean things up in the wake of the statement.
“I’m a gun owner, Tim Walz is a gun owner,” she told Winfrey and the audience. “If somebody breaks into my house, they’re getting shot, sorry. Probably should not have said that, but my staff will deal with that later.”
Indeed, Keisha Lance Bottoms later claimed the vice president’s remarks were just a “joke.”

“It was a joke, and she knew that we would still be talking about it today, but 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,” Bottoms told CNN’s Jake Tapper.
