“Vice President Kamala Harris’ husband is being accused of slapping his ex-girlfriend for flirting with another man at a ritzy gala in 2012, a new report claims. Second gentleman Doug Emhoff, 59, supposedly struck his then-girlfriend – a successful New York attorney – in the face so hard, she spun around while in a valet line after an event at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2012, three unnamed friends of the woman reportedly told the Daily Mail. The woman – who was identified only as Jane – allegedly called one of the friends sobbing in her cab immediately after the incident, the outlet said,” the New York Post reported on Wednesday just over a half-hour after other dogshit right wing rag the Daily Mail. Naturally “Jane” is unidentified because she fears retaliation.
So right away we see that the MAGA propaganda industrial complex learned a lesson from the Tara Reade failure in 2020: Don’t identify the accuser publicly because that exposes her to the kind of scrutiny that could reveal turns out she’s literally a paid agent of the Russian Federation. And wait until October because April’s too early, which gives that scrutiny too much time to work.
Other than that it’s a good formula for addition by subtraction. Not even Team Trump realistically expects women to want to vote for him if they think Kamala Harris is protecting an abuser, the idea instead is to get them to think “Oh my gosh they’re both evil, so I guess it’s Cornel West for me.”
