Second Gentleman @DouglasEmhoff was asked what he thinks about attacks on his wife, Vice-President Kamala Harris, by former President Trump.
Emhoff: “That’s all he’s got?”
Emhoff goes onto say: “You heard the Vice President yesterday making the case against Donald Trump. Very clearly laid out the case, directly and in a compelling fashion. But she also laid out a vision for the future. A vision where there's freedom. Where we're not having to talk about these issues of today in this post Dobbs Hellscape that Donald Trump created.”
“…We're gonna prosecute the case against Donald Trump and his lies, his gaslighting, during COVID, the dereliction of duty, inciting an insurrection and all those other things.”
“We're gonna make that very clear. She's gonna be able to make that case. We’re also gonna move on from this type of environment, this Dobbs, where freedoms are taken away, where autonomy is taken away. Where they're telling you, you can't read this book. They're telling you you can't learn these facts. They're telling you can't vote. All that is gonna change and it must change. You see the enthusiasm, you see the excitement. You saw the money raised, you saw the party coalesce. You saw the broad base of support that she had in just one or two days because she's talking about an America that we all have a place in. And that's why Kamala Harris, who I'm so proud of, I'm also so proud of the president. I got choked up yesterday in Wilmington when he called in. All of us did. What a great man. Love Joe Biden. But, Kamala Harris has united the party. She's gonna unite the country. She’s gonna earn this nomination. You see that happening and she's gonna win this election.”
