Doug Emhoff Claps Back At Trump For His Hateful Attack On Kamala Harris

Second gentleman Doug Emhoff is sick and tired of convicted felon and GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump’s verbal barbs aimed at his wife, Vice President Kamala Harris, and he’s clapping back hard at the disgraced ex-president.

Specifically, Trump has been calling Harris “Lyin’ Kamala,” and said she’s “dumb as a rock.” He has also slammed her as as “totally failed and insignificant vice president.”

That led Emhoff to take off the gloves, telling reporters, “That’s all he’s got?”

“You heard the vice president yesterday making the case against Donald Trump very clearly,” Emhoff added, pointing to a speech she made at her Wilmington, Delaware, campaign headquarters Monday. “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.”

Emhoff also made it clear that his wife will win decisively over Trump when the votes are counted in November.

“She’s talking about an America that we all have a place in. … She’s gonna unite the country. She’s gonna earn this nomination. You see that happening and she’s gonna win this election.”

Donald Trump is terrified of Kamala Harris. It’s just that simple. And he damn well should be, because he knows she’s more than capable of making him look like the biggest crook to ever seek elected office. He’s a fraud and liar who gets his kicks by sexually assaulting women.

Be afraid, Donnie. Be very afraid.

Trump Is ‘Terrified’ Kamala Harris Will Focus On His Biggest Political Liability

Disgraced former president Donald Trump is absolutely terrified of facing Kamala Harris as his opponent in the November election, but it’s not because she’s a strong black woman, according to Amanda Marcotte of Salon.

Instead, Trump knows that as a former prosecutor, Harris can hone in on his biggest political liability: His history of sexually assaulting women.

“Trump enjoys committing pretty much every type of crime, from siccing a murderous mob after his former vice president to epic levels of business fraud, so there’s a cornucopia of options for Harris to choose from,” Marcotte explains. “But a Harris ad from the 2020 campaign went viral online for one simple reason: It forefronts his long history of sexually assaulting women.”

The ad in question contained this tagline: “She prosecuted sex predators; he is one.” And that was similar to something Harris said Monday during a campaign appearance in Delaware.

“I took on perpetrators of all kinds. Predators who abused women, fraudsters who ripped off consumers, cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain. Hear me when I say: I know Donald Trump’s type.”

Harris is also likely to remind voters of the infamous “Access Hollywood” tape in which he bragged about how he likes to kiss women against their will and “grab ’em by the pussy.”

“It’s not just Trump anymore. The entire GOP has leaned hard into toxic masculinity and often overt misogyny. The Republican National Convention was a grotesque display of both. The convention stage was a traffic jam of men who had been violent towards women or made excuses for violence starting with the nominee himself. Ultimate Fighting Championship president Dana White, who praised Trump as being a master of the ‘tough guy business,’ had previously been filmed slapping his wife,” Marcotte notes.

Ironically, Trump has played up how he treats women as a way to solidify his support among male voters, Marcotte continues.

“Having a candidate who can talk about this without squirming or tripping over words is especially important in a race where abortion is a central issue. Ten states have passed abortion bans that have no exceptions for rape victims. The news is still peppered with stories of underage rape victims being forced to travel out of state or worse, give birth to a rapist’s child. The Republican vice presidential nominee wants a national standard of forced childbirth for rape victims. Having a candidate who can speak about the horrors of this in an experienced and concise manner may matter a lot.”

As a former sex crimes prosecutor, Harris is uniquely qualified to hit the convicted felon ex-president where it will hurt him the most and drive down his numbers among women and young voters, Marcotte concludes.

“(Harris) “may be in a better position to push this issue than any other potential Democratic nominee could have been.”

Political Expert Suggests Trump May Dump Vance In Desperate Effort To Boost His Poll Numbers

GOP vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance campaigned in Virginia on Monday, but his first solo campaign event since the 2024 Republican convention didn’t exactly go well, leading to massive online mockery for the Ohio senator.

The Associated Press reports that Vance began by attacking President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic nominee for the White House.

“History will remember Joe Biden as not just a quitter, which he is, but as one of the worst presidents in the history of the United States of America. But my friends, Kamala Harris is a million times worse and everybody knows it. She signed up for every single one of Joe Biden’s failures, and she lied about his mental capacity to serve as president.”

Vance also took a bizarre detour into the world of diet soda, suggesting that his fondness for Diet Mountain Dew would likely get him branded a racist by Democrats.

“I had a Diet Mountain Dew yesterday, and one today — I’m sure they’re gonna call that racist too,” he remarked.

That odd non-sequitur led Mike Madrid, co-founder of The Lincoln Project, to suggest that Trump might dump Vance from the ticket and find someone who can give a decent campaign stump speech.

Others then joined the social media debate on Vance.

Trump’s Social Media Feed Suggests He’s ‘Shi**ing His Pants’ Over Facing Kamala Harris

Based on what he’s been posting on social media since President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as his successor, disgraced former president Donald Trump sounds incredibly worried that he’s about to lose in November.

Trump began posting on his Truth Social site Sunday after Biden made his announcement. He sounded angry and worried.

He was back at it this morning.

Reaction to Trump’s postings was cutting and hilarious.

Rachel Maddow: Trump’s Choice Of J.D. Vance As Running Mate Is Already Backfiring On Him

Convicted and disgraced former president Donald Trump probably thought his choice of Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) as his running mate was a brilliant move, according to MSNBC host Rachel Maddow, but it’s already backfiring on him and could cost him the election.

Trump picked Vance, Maddow explained, because he thought he would be running against President Joe Biden, who dropped out of the race on Sunday. Donald thought he needed to shore up support from conservatives instead of reaching out to independent and undecided voters, she added.

“He wanted him for governing, not campaigning.”

“They picked J.D. Vance because they thought they had this election in the bag, and Joe Biden did this today, and now it is an absolutely different ball game.”

“J.D. Vance and Donald Trump are going to lose in November and Donald Trump is going to regret picking J.D. Vance as his running mate.”

Vance’s extreme positions on the issues of abortion, contraception, and no-fault divorce, Maddow noted, are not popular with the vast majority of Americans.

“Any Democrat who can talk about the kinds of issues where J.D. Vance has taken the kinds of stances … those are not 50/50 issues in this country. They are not 60/40. He is taking the kind of stances that single digits of Americans support.”

Maddow concluded her remarks with this: “You do not need any type of Democrat in particular to prosecute a case against J.D. Vance. He is a real weirdo from a really, really narrow slice of the far right side of the ideological doctrine.”

“They picked him because they didn’t think he would have to be defending himself at all. Because he thought he didn’t need to compete very hard to win, he picked J.D. Vance. He picked someone who’s not going to help him at all.”

Looks like Biden may have managed to completely screw up the GOP’s election strategy. And if we’re lucky, it’ll cost them big time when the votes are counted.
