Doug Emhoff, the father of Vice President Kamala Harris, did not refute the claims that he allegedly slapped his ex-girlfriend during a soon-to-be-released MSNBC discussion.
The time came on Friday when the community shared a clip of the subsequent gentleman’s sit-down meeting with” Morning Joe” co-host Joe Scarborough. The interview is scheduled to weather on Monday. Three friends of the alleged victim claimed to the Daily Mail that Emhoff” struck the person named under the pseudonym ‘ Janes” following a glamorous evening out at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival in France,” as Tristan Justice of The Federalist previously noted.
The defendant’s friends even provided photos, “other documents and communications supporting elements of the tale”, according to the store.
While Emhoff reportedly did n’t respond to the Daily Mail’s request for comment, a spokesman for the second gentleman told Semafor,” this report is untrue” and “any suggestion that he would or has ever hit a woman is false”.
During his meeting with Scarborough, Emhoff was pressed on Donald Trump’s selection to avoid a next debate with Harris. The next person claimed that the former chairman is “gaslighting” and spreading a “fog of propaganda and disinformation.”
Scarborough immediately agreed, arguing Trump is spreading misleading claims about Emhoff and implying the Daily Mail’s investigating constitutes “misinformation”.
” And he’s spreading ]’ misinformation’ ] about you, saying that tabloid stories about your personal life, saying it should be front and center”, Scarborough said, indirectly referencing the Daily Mail story. ” I know I seem like a pretty zen, conscious man, but I think I’d become pissed off. And I’m just wondering … how do you all keep centered? How do you stay disciplined, and not really come off, and not really drive up tight at these stuff”?
Emhoff declined to reject the allegations made against him in the Daily Mail record, rather referring to any says about his private life as a “distraction,” taking the backbone given to him on a silver platter.
” We do n’t have time to be pissed off. We do n’t have time to focus on it, it’s all a distraction. It’s designed to try to get us off our game”, he said.
As noted by Justice, the Daily Mail’s report came after days of legacy media coverage fawning over Emhoff as someone who, as MSNBC’s Jen Psaki claimed, is “reshap]ing ] the perception of masculinity”.
” Emhoff, said CNN’s Dana Bash, represents the Democrats ‘ efforts to ‘ put forward men figures’ who ‘ can talk to people out there who might not be the testosterone-laden, gun-toting type of guy who wants to subscribe to Hulk Hogan,'” Justice wrote.
