In Tuesday night’s presidential debate, Vice President Kamala Harris ran from accusations that she wanted to seize firearms from gun owners by saying, “We’re not taking anybody’s guns away.” But she spoke differently at a Democratic presidential nomination date in 2020.

On Tuesday night from the Philadelphia debate stage, Kamala told the ABC News moderators: “We're not taking anybody's guns away.”

In the exchange in 2020, moderator David Muir discussed a ban on assault weapons and noted that former Vice President Biden has been “saying there's no constitutional authority to issue that executive order when they say I'm going to eliminate assault weapons, saying you can't do it by executive order, any more than Trump can do things."

“When he says he can do it by executive order. Does the Vice President have a point?” Muir asked as Biden interjected, “There some things you can, many things you can't.” Muir waves him down and said, “Let's let the senator answer.”

Harris responded, “I mean, I would just say, Hey Joe, instead of saying that we can't, let's say yes, we can,” says, cackling loudly. “Yes, we can.”

Harris spent much of the debate distancing herself from her four years as vice president under President Joe Biden and from her time as a US senator from California. When former President Donald Trump noted how Harris had actually participated in raising bail money for the rioters in Minnesota, Harris grimaced and vigorously shook her head. She did the same when Trump reminded viewers that Harris was also a vocal advocate of defunding the police. Harris even suggested it was Trump who wanted fewer police officers on the street.
