Peter Funt is the son of Allen Funt, who created the show Candid Camera, whose privilege allowed him to not just work on the show, but also hold various other jobs in broadcasting and print journalism. As such, Funt identifies as a “progressive,” which necessarily means he must condemn the evil NRA whenever possible and must signal his virtue by being very upset at Presidential candidate Kamala Harris, who admits to owning a handgun for self defense.
