    Kimberly Burrell took part in an MSNBC group interview about gun violence after losing her son. She was shocked to see her comments about inflation appear in a Donald Trump ad attacking Kamala Harris. … 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.

    “I was a mess,” said the 53-year-old paralegal who moved to Delaware about two years ago. “I couldn’t stop crying.”

    The 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.

    Fuck MSNBC.
