Emhoff has denied the allegations. Unlike the nanny story in which he 'fessed up.

Of all days to announce it - shanah tovah! |
Remember when Trump’s ex wife accused him of assault and marital rape? |
I remember when she totally disavowed her earlier claims. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/donald-trumps...on/story?id=32732204 |
"[O]n one occasion during 1989, Mr. Trump and I had marital relations in which he behaved very differently toward me than he had during our marriage. As a woman, I felt violated, as the love and tenderness, which he normally exhibited towards me, was absent. I referred to this as a 'rape,' but I do not want my words to be interpreted in a literal or criminal sense." |
I wouldn’t call this totally disavowing anything. I would call this downplaying an earlier claim once appropriate financial settlement had been reached. |
“Violated” means rape, in Spanish. |
Good thing she wasn’t speaking Spanish at the time! |
So why is this a thread? I reported the thread and hope it’s removed. |
Emhoff isn't running for anything? He is making as many campaign appearances as Tim Walz. |

Doug Emhoff Denies Slapping Ex-Girlfriend Across the Face in 2012 Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, has denied a report alleging that he slapped an ex-girlfriend across the face so hard that she spun around. The Daily Mail reported Wednesday that three friends anonymously said that Emhoff had struck the woman—who was also not identified by name—while the two waited in a valet line at France’s Cannes Film Festival in May 2012. In a statement to Semafor, a spokesperson for Emhoff denied the allegation, saying, “this report is untrue” and “any suggestion that he would or has ever hit a woman is false.” |
Yes, probably more than low-energy Trump, who has been convicted in a court of law of sexual abuse. But the difference is that Trump was actually convicted. There's not even a police inquiry into the events that Emhoff is accused of doing. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-65531098 Jury finds Trump sexually abused writer in NY department store |
This smells of of a similar arrangement with a tabloid to that of David Pecker and Trump. Cook up stories about family members of a political opponent to distract from Trump’s legal problems. Perfectly timed and all! |
Of course it is. But Trump has so coarsened public discourse that it barely registers. And lest we forget, Ivana accused Trump of rape and domestic violence. |
Do you understand what kind of lawyer Doug is? “Media lawyer” is code for NDA and coverup ace. His niche is knowing the “bodies are buried” and making messes far bigger than this disappear. Of course the victim hasn’t come forward. She was likely paid off and signed an airtight NDA years ago. |
