The victim, Kimberly Burrell, lost her son, Darryl Pray Jr., over a decade ago when he was shot and killed in 2009 at the age of 18.
Flash forward to this past July, when Burrell participated in an NBC News segment about gun violence.
“The gathering took place around the anniversary of the death of her 18-year-old son Darryl Pray Jr. in 2009, and Burrell was a bundle of raw emotion,” according to The Philadelphia Inquirer.
“I was a mess,” Burrell recalled to the Inquirer. “I couldn’t stop crying.”
Here’s where the story takes an interesting turn. The Inquirer outright admits that during the segment, “[t]he reporter pivoted with a few questions about the election for what would later become another segment.”
“And though Burrell and others said they didn’t want to talk much about politics, Burrell shared some general thoughts on the challenges of inflation as a single working mother,” according to the Inquirer.
“Imagine the mother making minimum wage trying to feed children,” she tearfully said in the segment. “They’re killing us without killing us.”
Returning to the present, the Restoration of America PAC has since used those words to attack Harris for touting Bidenomics.
