During a recent campaign fundraiser in Brooklyn, New York, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff addressed comments made by Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders regarding Vice President Kamala Harris and her decision not to have biological children. Sanders suggested that Harris lacks something to keep her humble due to not having biological children, a statement that Emhoff sharply rebuked.
Emhoff emphasized that the notion of keeping women humble, regardless of whether they have children or not, is not something that should be promoted. He highlighted the joys of raising children and underscored the importance of family in his and Harris's lives.
Referring to his blended family with his first wife, Emhoff expressed that their children are a significant part of their lives and bring them immense joy. He also took a swipe at former President Trump, rallying women Harris supporters against attempts to undermine their rights and sow division.
Emhoff condemned efforts to pit women against each other and spread hate, referencing initiatives like Dobbs and Project 2025. He asserted that women in the country are tired of weak men attempting to erode their rights and manipulate the narrative.
Emhoff's impassioned defense of Harris and women's rights resonated with supporters, as he made it clear that women in the country will not bow down to attempts to diminish their voices or agency.
