Kamala Harris and her media lackeys parade her 'wife guy', beta hubby Doug Emhoff as a model feminist. So, MAUREEN CALLAHAN rages, how can they stay so shamefully silent now that he's accused of hitting his ex?

Doug Emhoff, our alleged Second Gentleman, is thing but.

The bombshell allegation that Kamala Harris's husband erstwhile slapped a erstwhile woman successful nan face truthful difficult that she spun astir — successful nationalist position extracurricular an A-list gala successful France — has been met pinch utter soundlessness from nan Harris campaign.

Why? How tin nan run of 'good character' and 'joy' — for a campaigner who reminds america perpetually that, arsenic a prosecutor, she fiercely protected victims — retreat successful nan look of specified a disgusting claim?

Perhaps they're hoping that if they disregard this their handmaidens successful nan nationalist media will proceed to travel suit.

After all, MSNBC's Jen Psaki, President Biden's erstwhile property secretary, conscionable conducted a sit-down pinch Emhoff that lacked immoderate resemblance to existent journalism.

'Your role,' Psaki gushed successful an question and reply that aired Sunday, 'has reshaped nan cognition of masculinity.'

That's 1 measurement to put it.

Psaki already knew — arsenic pinch nan Mail besides revealed successful August – that Emhoff had allegedly impregnated his nanny, who was besides his girl Ella's schoolteacher, while joined to his first wife. But she has zero questions astir his integrity? About nan ways he treats women?

'I've ever been for illustration this,' Emhoff told Psaki, creepy grin connected his ruddy face. 'To me, it's nan correct point to do, support women.'

Big cheer, Doug.

Seriously, what benignant of man brags astir this stuff? Not 1 who genuinely likes and supports women, I committedness you that.

Had Psaki and nan remainder of nan left-leaning media really investigated this story, they mightiness person learned that nan nanny has a overmuch much disturbing declare astir Emhoff and what happened to her babe — because loose-lipped Doug reportedly told nan female he allegedly deed each astir that.

Yes, Doug allegedly described really he paid nan nanny $80,000 to spell away, made her motion an NDA and dismissed her claims astir really her reported miscarriage came about.

But hey — spot done joy, people!

This feline has been successfully packaged by nan Harris camp, pinch a dense assistance from nan media, arsenic everything he's not: A 'wife guy' — immoderate that intends — an state to women and a crusader against toxic masculinity, truthful proud of Kamala that he gave up his occupation to support her erstwhile she became Vice President.

Not because, arsenic an attorney, he represented an arms trader trading to Afghanistan, Big Pharma, and a nightclub impresario accused of intersexual harassment and intersexual battery. You know, what a 'wife guy' does — shed himself of liabilities truthful arsenic not to harm his spouse's governmental future.

If only inconvenient women were arsenic easy to contain.

Emhoff's astir caller accuser, who nan Mail is calling by nan pseudonym 'Jane', dated him successful 2012. She reportedly recounted really he came successful hot, 'love-bombed' her and introduced her to his boy Cole, past a teenager, connected their first date.

Jane is said to person recovered nan full thing, including Doug bumming a cigaret from Cole, 'weird'.

She besides reportedly sewage nan belief that Emhoff's woman 'had nan precocious hand' successful their divorcement and couldn't fig retired why.

Then, 2 months aft that first date, during a heady travel to a star-studded Cannes kindness gala connected May 24, Emhoff allegedly slapped Jane.

One of Jane's friends, an elite New York City businessman, says he sewage a telephone telephone from her moments later.

'It was difficult to perceive her, because she was sobbing,' this friend told nan Mail. 'She told maine she was pinch a feline and he deed her.'

Jane allegedly said she had offered nan valet money to skip nan agelong statement extracurricular nan gala and had put her manus connected his shoulder.

Emhoff seemingly saw Jane's motion arsenic 'flirting' — and so, arsenic a feminist antheral does, he allegedly slapped her successful nan face, hard.

'My belief is that he had a batch to drink,' Jane's businessman friend said. 'She was sobbing, but she wasn't slurring her words. She told maine she collapsed up pinch him that night'.

Jane besides contemporaneously told different friend, a female lawyer based successful New York, who described Emhoff's alleged onslaught arsenic sudden, unexpected.

'You would person thought this was a fairytale trip,' this root said.

Well, it seems we're yet gathering nan existent Doug Emhoff – and he's nary leader to women.

Jane relayed her scary to different female confidante, a apical firm executive, successful 2018. This female besides corroborated Jane's communicative to nan Mail, including nan frightening coda: Jane scrambled into a cab to get distant from Emhoff, but he allegedly forced his measurement successful — prompting her to telephone nan New York City businessman arsenic protection.

Doug Emhoff, feminist. What a lie.

Emhoff, squad Harris has agelong had america believe, is simply a cuddly, sanitized, non-threatening beta.

It's rather likely, successful my estimation, that this has been a deliberate, cynical overcorrection – pinch Emhoff purposely establishing himself arsenic specified a nice, bully guy, pinch his clunky tales astir being truthful eager to onshore nan awesome Kamala, to woo her and wed her and conscionable bent successful nan background, truthful that when, not if, allegations emerged, they'd beryllium harder to believe.

It's sinister.

This is nan man meant to guidelines successful stark opposition to Trump, who surely has his ain issues pinch women.

But only 1 of these men has been forensically investigated by nan nationalist media. Only 1 of these men represents a summons that, arsenic his woman truthful often says, believes successful nan value of 'good values', of being 'honest', of 'not going back' to a clip erstwhile nan plight of women was routinely ignored.

Such arsenic nan plight of Emhoff's nanny, Najen Naylor.

Emhoff allegedly told Jane — who reportedly recounted this to her aforesaid friends —that successful Naylor's telling, she believed that Emhoff had been truthful 'aggressive pinch her, shouting aliases whatever', that she miscarried. Emhoff reportedly disputed Naylor's claim.

A constabulary study dated June 28, 2009, which lines up pinch nan alleged pregnancy, shows that nan LAPD was called to nan location Naylor was surviving astatine 8.14 pm.

The callout was designated 'priority level three' — 'life-threatening emergency, lights and sirens on'.

The LAPD would not merchandise immoderate accusation astir this emergency call: What happened, who was involved, aliases nan outcome.

Emhoff has immoderate questions to answer, and truthful does Kamala Harris. The Mail asked her run for remark 2 days agone and has heard nothing.

How tin Harris, this self-designated champion of women – who loves to show nan communicative of redeeming her abused champion friend, and who self-righteously treated nan then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh arsenic blameworthy successful his Senate proceeding contempt zero reliable grounds against him — enactment silent?

How agelong until Harris yet has a substantive, challenging one-on-one interview? Will nan New York Times aliases CNN dainty these women arsenic earnestly arsenic Trump's accusers? Will they judge Jane's communicative arsenic readily arsenic they accepted those ancient recollections of Kavanaugh-accuser Christine Blasey Ford aliases E. Jean Carroll? Or will they disregard these arsenic eagerly arsenic they did Tara Reade's intersexual maltreatment accusations against Joe Biden?

There is precedent here. Harris's forebear, Hillary Clinton, defended Bill erstwhile he was accused of aggregate intersexual assaults — still does, successful truth — and it has everlastingly wounded her credibility pinch female voters.

The preferred rallying outcry of nan near is, 'Believe each women'. Will they person nan courage to do truthful now?
