The post in question on Instagram claims that Kamala Harris attacked a pro-Trump knife company called Tactical Blades USA for selling “evil instruments.” The post included a screenshot of a tweet from a supposed news outlet called “News 4 Live.” However, upon investigation, it was found that the tweet was fabricated, and there is no evidence that Harris made such a statement.
The Instagram post using the fake news to urge users to support the company and resist Harris’s supposed control is based on misinformation. There is no credible evidence of Harris ever attacking Tactical Blades or any other knife company for selling “evil instruments.” Harris, a gun owner, has focused on gun control policies such as banning assault weapons and implementing universal background checks, but there is no indication that she has extended these policies to knives.
The Instagram post’s claim about Harris attacking the knife company is false and misleading. It has generated hundreds of likes and shares, spreading misinformation about the vice president’s stance on weapons. USA TODAY reached out to spokespeople for the Harris campaign and the Instagram user who shared the post but did not receive any responses.
Overall, the post misrepresents Harris’s position on weapons, exploits false information, and promotes a narrative that is not supported by credible evidence.
