Fox claims Harris is ‘hiding’ minutes before making comments on WH about gun safety

Fox News on Thursday night, which echoed MAGA statements, described Kamala Harris as being in hiding while Donald Trump spoke to reporters at Trump Tower.

But moments later, the vice president was seen at the White House accompanying President Joe Biden as he signed executive orders aimed at thwarting gun violence and increasing preparedness for mass shootings.

Fox moved Donald Trump’s press conference to 5:00 p.m., when her opinion shows that Fiveis broadcast. At the top of the Hour of Chyron, he proclaimed: “Now: Trump is holding a journalist while Kamala is hiding.”

But just eight minutes later, Harris stood next to Biden in front of a packed East Room, where the president would next sign two executive orders to mark the one-year anniversary of the White House Office to Prevent Gun Violence. One of the orders establishes a task force to assess the threat posed by ghost weapons, and the other is to determine how active shooter drills can be effective and non-traumatic.

After hearing from a survivor of the 2018 Parkland, Florida, high school shooting, Harris addressed the audience.

“We know how to stop these tragedies, and it is a false choice to suggest that you either support the Second Amendment or want to take away everyone’s guns,” she said. “I am in favor of a second amendment and I think that we must restore the ban on assault weapons.”

In 2004, the Republican-controlled Congress decided not to extend the assault weapons ban that Biden had worked to pass in 1994 as a senator.

Meanwhile, Fox stuck with Trump’s comments live until they ended just after 5:30 p.m. However, viewers of the right -wing station were not shown what Trump had to say the press after leaving the podium.

Asked whether he still supports Mark Robinson, the Holocaust-denying Republican candidate for North Carolina governor who mocked survivors of the Parkland shooting and once declared himself a “black Nazi,” Trump said he was uninformed.

“I don’t know the situation,” he said despite Robinson’s problems with obtaining extensive relationships.

The Harris campaign pounced on this response.

“It is beyond belief that Donald Trump somehow missed the news that his chosen candidate for governor called himself a ‘Nazi,’” campaign spokesman Ammar Moussa said in a statement to The Daily Beast.
