Vice President Kamala Harris laughed Thursday about shooting a potential intruder to her home, despite her record of opposing some self-defense gun laws as racist.

Harris spoke about gun ownership during an appearance with Oprah Winfrey at a political forum Thursday night, confirming that she owned a gun.

“If somebody breaks into my house, they’re getting shot, sorry,” Harris said laughing

‘Yes, yes. I hear that, I hear that,’ Winfrey replied.
Harris made the comment defending the right of gun owners to defend themselves and their property despite previously condemning self defense gun laws as racist.

In 2020, Harris condemned ‘stand your ground’ self defense laws, during an interview with the gun control group Everytown for Gun Safety.

She argued that those laws were ‘used as an excuse if not a cover for people who are motivated by racism and racial profiling.’

‘It has been used as an excuse to kill black and brown people,’ she added.
Self defense laws exist in 28 states, allowing a person to defend themselves and their property using deadly force without a requirement to retreat from an attacker first, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Some states have specifically included the words ‘stand your ground’ to their laws to make it more clear.

But Harris described such laws as dangerous for minority communities as gun owners were using them as ‘a shield for their misbehavior, and frankly their racism.’

Even as Vice President, Harris stated her willingness to end ‘stand your ground’ laws during an interview with Telemundo.

When the news anchor spoke about a story of a man who was shot after he knocked on the wrong door, Harris lamented that such laws were wrong and needed to be changed.
‘I think there has to be,’ she said. ‘We need to pass reasonable gun safety laws in this country. Babies are dying. Babies.’

She denounced state and local lawmakers defending self-defense laws as cowards.

‘Stand. You want to talk about stand? Stand for principles, stand for the safety of our children. Stand for what’s reasonable,’ she said.

A Harris spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment from DailyMail.com.

Harris has long supported tougher gun control legislation, including a government sponsored mandatory gun buyback program for assault weapons.

Since taking over the 2024 presidential nomination from President Joe Biden, however, Harris has told voters that she will not take away their guns.

‘I’m not trying to take everyone’s guns away,’ Harris said during the forum.

A disturbing video captured the moment an Argentine soccer legend allegedly assaulted his estranged wife as one of their two sons looked on in horror.

Leaked surveillance footage, which was leaked on Thursday, seemingly showed Nestor Ortigoza, 39, charging at Lucia Cassiau, 35, and smacking a cell phone of her hand at their home in Ezeiza, a city outside Buenos Aires.

A video taken by Cassiau’s phone also shows him hitting the phone before falling to the ground.

As the surveillance video goes on, Ortigoza then appeared to strike her face and pushed her into a wall.

Ortigoza then berated her shortly before she walked over to her son and hugged him.
Both appeared before the Ezeiza prosecutor’s office and pressed charges against each other.

The prosecutor’s office is investigating the former footballer for domestic violence, while Cassiau is facing allegations of child maltreatment.

A video from another violent incident showed Ortigoza dribbling a soccer ball with one of the couple’s two sons in the backyard of a residence.

It seemed that Cassiau and Ortigoza had been arguing prior to the recording and she tells Ortigoza, ‘Shut up because the child is here.’

Ortigoza responded by kicking a ball that knocked the phone off Cassiau’s hand and hit her in the face.

A source with knowledge of the case told online news portal Infobae that the domestic violence incidents took place in 2023.
In light of the videos, the San Lorenzo governing board called on Ortigoza to step down from his board member post.

He was fired as sporting director in August due to issues surrounding the signing of a player.

‘Following the publicly known facts that link him to situations of gender-based violence, the majority ruling bloc of the San Lorenzo Board of Directors decides to demand that (manager) Néstor Ezequiel Ortigoza resign from his position, since his actions do not represent the values ​​that our institution upholds,’ the team said in a statement.

Ortigoza, a native of San Antonio de Padua, a town in the Buenos Aires province, was a member of Paraguay’s national team that appeared at the 2010 World Cup.

He carved out a stellar career in the Argentine soccer league, spending two stints with San Lorenzo.

He led the club to their first-ever Copa Libertadores title in 2014, scoring the game-winning goal in the final.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. allegedly cheated on his wife, Cheryl Hines, with New York Magazine’s political correspondent Olivia Nuzzi.

“The nature of some communications between myself and a former reporting subject turned personal,” the journalist, 31, admitted in a statement Thursday night without naming the former 2024 presidential candidate, 70, who dropped out of the race last month.

Nuzzi insisted, however, that their relationship was not physical.
Sources told The Post that the Washington writer and the nephew of former President John F. Kennedy allegedly sexted while she was engaged to fellow journo Ryan Lizza and he was married to Hines.

Following her admission, New York Magazine announced in a note to readers that Nuzzi has been put on leave.

“Recently our Washington Correspondent Olivia Nuzzi acknowledged to the magazine’s editors that she had engaged in a personal relationship with a former subject relevant to the 2024 campaign while she was reporting on the campaign, a violation of the magazine’s standards around conflicts of interest and disclosures,” the publication said in a statement on its website late Thursday.

Had the magazine been aware of this relationship, she would not have continued to cover the presidential campaign.”

The magazine shared that “no inaccuracies nor evidence of bias” was found in an internal review of her published articles.

“She is currently on leave from the magazine, and the magazine is conducting a more thorough third-party review. We regret this violation of our readers’ trust,” the outlet concluded.

While reporting for a feature article about the presidential hopeful, Nuzzi visited RFK Jr.’s Brentwood, Calif., home and they took a hike together in the Santa Monica Mountains.

She published the profile in November 2023, and they began their alleged fling shortly after, sources told Status, which was first to report the news.

“Mr. Kennedy only met Olivia Nuzzi once in his life for an interview she requested, which yielded a hit piece,” a Kennedy spokesperson told The Post when asked about the alleged relationship.

Nuzzi was engaged to Politico reporter Lizza in 2022, but sources told The Post that they called off their wedding within the last few weeks.

Meanwhile, Kennedy — who notoriously had affairs during his previous marriages to Emily Ruth Black and Mary Richardson — has been married to Hines, 58, since 2014.

The “Curb Your Enthusiasm” alum has yet to publicly address the news, and her rep had no comment.
