Doug Emhoff was campaigning in Cobb County, Georgia on Sunday when he let loose with the cringe.
My colleague Ward Clark wrote about some of it earlier, as he spoke about his relationship with Tim Walz. Emhoff spoke about how he gave him a big “bro hug.” He also bragged about his wife being such a “badass” (despite the fact that she was installed in an anti-democratic coup and received no primary votes from the American people for the nomination for the top position).
But Emhoff wasn’t quite finished with the cringe with that. There was more when he spoke about his wife, Kamala Harris. His description of her raised some eyebrows.
“Kamala did what Kamala always does. She put her head down and went to work,” Emhoff said.
Yikes. Did he really just say that? That got a lot of attention as the tweet went viral.
But Emhoff wasn’t finished yet. He was talking about “bro culture” and the gender gap that Kamala Harris has on MSNBC with Symone Sanders, another Democrat/media person (same thing). Harris has trouble with male voters, including young males. Men are supporting Trump by a big margin in virtually every poll. The Harris team doesn’t seem to understand why that would be.
Emhoff tries to spin a story to help his wife, but he doesn’t realize in telling the story, he just emphasizes the problem. He spoke about an 18-year-old whose mother said that he was leaning toward Trump but then supposedly changed his mind after he “stopped watching podcasts and UFC” and listened to a Kamala speech.
