Doug Emhoff, husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, faced backlash online Wednesday afternoon after an explosive report was published in a British newspaper of accusations that Emhoff hit his ex-girlfriend in the face at a high-profile event in Europe.
Three friends of the woman, a New York lawyer, told the Daily Mail about the alleged attack in 2012 on the condition that neither they nor the woman, who was only identified as “Jane,” be named out of fear of retaliation.
Two of the friends say that Jane told them about the incident right after it happened, while the third friend said that Jane told her several years later.
“In 2021, Tim Walz proclaimed October to be Domestic Violence Awareness Month for the State of Minnesota,” said podcaster Comfortably Smug. “Today, he is completely silent on Kamala Harris’ husband beating his ex-girlfriend.”
