A woman who is claiming to have dated Vice President Kamala Harris’ husband, Dough Emhoff back in 2012, has come forward, keeping her identity under wraps, alleging that during their relationship, Emhoff slapped her so hard she “spun.” Guys, if this is true, it says a lot about Harris and the kind of people she surrounds herself with. Do we really want someone like Emhoff having the kind of influence the spouse of a president usually has while they serve in office? I would say not.
The woman made her allegations during a conversation with the Daily Mail, and even provided the outlet with pictures and other kinds of documentation that shows she traveled to France with Emhoff to attend the amfAR gala dinner at the Cannes Film Festival. So she’s definitely not lying about the two of them having some kind of relationship. This is not fake news, people. During the trip, the woman says Emhoff slapped her as they were attempting to flag down a taxi to take them to their lodging late in the evening.
According to The Daily Wire:
She had approached the valet, offering a $100 tip if they could skip the line and get a car soon. As she was talking to the valet, Emhoff allegedly walked up and slapped her across the face. “As I’m talking to [the valet], Doug got out of the line, comes up, turns me around by my right shoulder. I’m completely caught off guard, I’m not bracing, I’m in four inch heels, wearing a full-length gown and it’s between 2-3 am,” she said. “He slaps me so hard I spin around, and I’m in utter shock.”
“There had been no fight, no argument. It had been a completely fantastic event. I am so furious. The only thing I could think to do was slap him back. I slapped him on one side, and on the other cheek with the other hand,” she further explained. “In that moment, his mask had dropped and I saw his dark side.”
As the couple were in the cab, she asked Emhoff why he slapped her, but did not receive a real answer. So this “man” walks up to a woman he’s in a relationship with and with no provocation just smacks the hell out of her and has no explanation for why? Yeah, I’d say that qualifies as having a dark side.
“I can’t believe he just slapped me. I think I said to him in the car, ‘What the hell is wrong with you? Why did you do that?’ And the only thing I could get out of him was he thought I was hitting on the valet,” she revealed to the Daily Mail.
She decided to tell her story of Emhoff after seeing him lauded in the media as a feminist. “What’s frightening for a woman that’s been on the other end of it, is watching this completely fabricated persona being portrayed,” the woman told the Daily Mail. “He’s being held out to be the antithesis of who he actually is. And that is utterly shocking.”
Emhoff was first accused of slapping the woman by the woman’s friends, who spoke to the Daily Mail for a story published earlier this month.
She “went up to one of the valet guys, offered him 100 Euros or whatever, to get to the head of the line. She told me she put her hand on his shoulder. Doug apparently thought that she was flirting, and came over and slapped her in the face,” one friend told the Daily Mail.
Unsurprisingly, Emhoff has denied the incident in a statement delivered publicly through a spokesman.
“This report is untrue,” the spokesman told Semafor in a statement after the allegation first surfaced in public. “Any suggestion that he would or has ever hit a woman is false.” Emhoff has previously admitted to having an affair while married to his first wife with their former nanny.
Makes you wonder if Emhoff has treated Harris in a similar fashion. If so, why is she still with him? This allegation needs to be investigated further, though it does not seem, since she’s remaining anonymous, that she would have anything to gain by lying about the matter.
How will this impact the Harris campaign? That remains to be seen.
