Doug Emhoff Slaps Masculinity into Shape

"I've always been like this"

Just the other day, the following exchange was broadcast on MSNBC. Democratic Party operative Jen Psaki used her show to help Doug Emhoff lie about himself so his wife can get elected president:

“An important part, an interesting part of how people have talked about your role here is how your role has reshaped the perception of masculinity. And I’m not sure you planned on that. But you are an incredibly supportive spouse. Has that been an evolution for you? And do you think that’s part of the role you might play as First Gentleman?”

Wow. Talk about tough journalism! She’s really grilling him, huh?

But Emhoff rose to the occasion:

“It’s funny, I’ve started to think a lot about this. I’ve always been like this. My dad was like this…”

Hmmm. We’ll come back to that part later.

Keep in mind, by the time of this interview, Emhoff had already admitted to destroying his first marriage by impregnating his nanny in 2009. Psaki isn’t about to factor that into her “reshaping masculinity” equation, of course, because she’s a partisan hack.

And now it’s time for Psaki to ignore yet another story that doesn’t fit her preferred narrative. Josh Boswell, Daily Mail:

Vice President Kamala Harris's husband assaulted his ex-girlfriend, three friends have told Dailymail.com.

The Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, 59, allegedly struck the woman in the face so hard she spun around, while waiting in a valet line late at night after a May 2012 Cannes Film Festival event in France…

The friends, who all asked not to be named for fear of retaliation by Emhoff, shared with DailyMail.com pictures of him and Jane together from 2012, and other documents and communications corroborating elements of the story.

Remember #MeToo? #TimesUp? All that stuff? Right now, the Harris-Walz campaign hopes you don’t.
