US Election 2024: Doug Emhoff Rebukes Donald Trump, Supports Kamala Harris At DNC

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.’
