In an ongoing Democratic National Convention at Chicago, Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, strongly criticized former US President Donald Trump.
During his speech, Emhoff said “Kamala Harris stands up to bullies’. Further, his remarks also addressed Trump’s ongoing personal attacks against Harris, which have intensified since Joe Biden’s departure from the presidential race in July.
In his speech, Emhoff said, As Trump said he “doesn’t like Jewish people”…Harris is tied the knot with “a crappy Jew.’
Previously in an interview with WABC radio, Trump made derogatory comments about Harris and Emhoff, where he said he “doesn’t like Jewish people” and referring to Emhoff as “a crappy Jew.” Notably, Trump had also asserted that Harris dislikes Israel and Jewish people and in the end stated ‘You know it, I know it and everybody knows it and nobody wants to say it.’
Doug Emhoff Criticizes JD Vance
In his DNC address, Emhoff also took aim at derogatory comments made by Trump’s running mate, JD Vance. Vance had previously made disparaging remarks about “childless cat ladies” in politics and has recently reaffirmed this stance.
In response, Emhoff countering Vance’s remarks said “She has always been there for our children and I know she’ll always be there for yours too.” Thus, emphasizing Harris’s dedication.
Meanwhile, Emhoff also praised Harris’s leadership saying ‘She will lead with joy and toughness, with that laugh and that look, with compassion and conviction. She’ll lead from the belief that wherever we come from, we’re strongest when we fight for what we believe, and not just against what we fear.’
