A disturbing accusation has emerged against Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris.
The Daily Mail published a report claiming that Emhoff allegedly struck a former girlfriend in the face during an incident in May 2012.
The report, which could potentially impact the upcoming November election, has drawn significant attention to the second gentleman's past behavior.
According to the Daily Mail's sources, the incident occurred at the Cannes Film Festival in France. Three individuals close to the situation provided details about the alleged altercation between Emhoff and a woman identified only as "Jane," a pseudonym used to protect her identity.
The sources claim that the incident took place around 3 a.m. when Emhoff and Jane, who had been dating for three months, were trying to leave the event. Both had reportedly been drinking, and there was a long line for taxis.
Jane allegedly offered a valet 100 euros to move to the front of the line, placing her hand on his shoulder. According to one source, Emhoff mistakenly interpreted this as flirting and reacted violently.
Another source recounted that Emhoff allegedly turned Jane around by her shoulder and slapped her so hard that she spun around. The incident reportedly left Jane in a state of shock.
Following the alleged altercation, Jane immediately broke up with Emhoff and attempted to leave. However, sources claim that Emhoff forced himself into the cab despite Jane's protests.
The Daily Mail report includes photos and communications that supposedly corroborate many of the claims made by the sources. It's worth noting that Emhoff has never been charged with any criminal wrongdoing related to this incident.
Mollie Hemingway, editor-in-chief of The Federalist, commented on the report, stating:
This is a horrifying story. I will say that it matches with something I recently learned from two California individuals who know Emhoff fairly well and said his reputation for poor treatment of women was notorious in their circles.
The timing of this report, just weeks before the November general election, could potentially sway voters and impact the Harris campaign. The allegations stand in stark contrast to recent praise of Emhoff for "reshaping the perception of masculinity."
The report also mentions other aspects of Emhoff's past, including his admission to impregnating a nanny, further complicating his public image. As of now, the Harris campaign has not issued a response to these allegations. The Western Journal has reached out for comment but has not received a reply at the time of publication.
