“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.”

      Democrats—both the politicians and the voters—only dislike Republicans out of jealousy. There’s no difference in values; it’s a difference in presentation. Dems are tired of holding their barbarism in.
