Doug Emhoff accused of ‘forcefully slapping’ NYC girlfriend

Sounds to me that this is a feeble attempt to smear a man who happens to be married to a candidate you oppose.

What would that accomplish?

I doubt she's going to sue for damages, and don't see why that's relevant.

It's relevant because this is a BS story. Read the article. No one but Emhoff is identified. No specifics are provided that anyone could verify without a court order. Anonymous witnesses, anonymous victim (who, btw, has not come forward) anonymous third-hand accounts.

If the NY Post were a real newspaper, they would have at least ID'd the alleged victim. NOTHING. The only person named is Emhoff. Why is that? Because if they did name names, every legit news media outlet would be on this in a heartbeat, confirming or debunking the claims. As it is, they get to run a scandalous story with no verifiable facts to check. No fear of lawsuits.

They did the same thing to Hillary back in 2016. The story then was Hillary was hated by her SS detail because she treated them badly, allegedly flying into a rage over some petty little detail. The agents were not named, the location was obscured, and Hillary was the only proper noun in the article. Worthless trash, just like this article.

I did read the article. You should, too. This was a public event. There are pictures and video of the two together. Chances are, she will be identified. We'll see if she wants to comment directly or try leave it in the past.

Doug Emhoff accused of ‘forcefully slapping’ NYC girlfriend for flirting with another man at ritzy gala in 2012: report

It's looking like the guy the Washington Post called "The Antidote to Toxic Masculinity" not only got his nanny pregnant, but forcefully slapped a woman he was dating for just a few months because she put her hand on the shoulder of a valet.

"Dougie," it would seem, is not all he's cracked up to be.

How desperate does your life have to be before you decide to post propaganda from a radical far right media source
To help your convicted felon candidate win?

"DonOLD," it would seem, is not all he's cracked up to be.

"He is more dangerous than anyone can imagine." Gen. James Mattis, Trump's former Defense Sec.

Trump "has no idea what America stands for" and "has nothing but contempt for our democratic institutions, our Constitution, and the Rule of Law."Gen. John Kelly, Trump's former WH Chief of Staff.

"He is a consummate narcissist... He will always put his own interests... ahead of everything else, including the country's interests." Bill Barr, Trump's former Attorney General.

"Trump and other officials have repeatedly compromised our principles in pursuit of partisan advantage and personal gain." Gen. HR McMaster, Trump's former National Security Advisor.

"He is not fit to be President."John Bolton, Trump's former National Security Advisor.

"He puts himself before country. His actions are all about him and not about the country."Mark Esper, Trump's former Defense Secretary.

Assaulting anyone is not OK. Full stop.

Get back to me when you've got more evidence than 3 unnamed people who claim a 4th person told them something happened more than a decade ago. I'm more than a little skeptical that a NY lawyer wouldn't pursue legal action if she was assaulted, but people do weird things.

The alternative is the guy who sexually assaulted women and is a convicted felon.


So yep, I'll be voting for the non-felon who didn't sexually assault anyone.

If she lets him slap her around like he allegedly did to another woman, just think of what she'll let the WEF, Globalists, Putin, Xi, etc. do to her.

I'd rather vote for the alternative...the guy who slapped Putin, Xi and the entire EU around and who told the Globalists to go to hell.

Where is the video? Where are the photos? All you've got is a tabloid rag claiming anonymous people said an anonymous woman was slapped. If this wasn't a planted story by Trump just like his deals with the National Inquirer (remember those?) I'll apologize. Until then, I call it all BS.

LOLOLOLOL.

So, in other words - according to your post - sexually assaulting women is fine. Its a sign of strength.

Glad to have that on the record from you.

You have to build up to that. You don't lay the final card out two rounds in.

I'm not surprised you would totally...and almost certainly deliberately...misunderstand what I said.

Quit wasting my time with your games.

Bye.

The Post is not a valid source.

This has been covered many times.
 
THIS IS IT FOLKS!

Kamala Harris is going down to defeat because of this story (cough cough)

DailyMail.com did not name the woman, instead using the pseudonym Jane :unsure:
The alleged assault is said to have occurred more than a year before Harris and Emhoff met on a blind date set up by a mutual friend in 2013. They married in 2014.

Doug Emhoff assault allegations—what we know, what we don't

The second gentleman has been accused of slapping a former girlfriend after an event in France in 2012, according to a new report.

Now, let's be clear about something here. If there turns out to be any validity to this story, then Emhoff should face the music. Just like any person, left or right, that has been accused of violent or sexually inappropriate acts. (Donald Trump anyone?)

BUT this is election season. So let's make some hay with this story. Except...................... it really won't move the needle. Sorry guys.
