Nolte: Doug Emhoff, Kamala Harris’s Husband, Allegedly Assaulted a Woman in 2012

Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, is facing allegations of physically assaulting a woman in May 2012. The woman, referred to by the pseudonym Jane, claims the incident occurred at a valet line following a Cannes Film Festival event in France.

Details of the Incident

According to friends of Jane who have chosen to remain anonymous, Emhoff struck Jane in the face after misinterpreting her touch on a valet’s shoulder as flirtation. They describe that Jane was slapped with such force she spun around, and in a state of shock and fury, she retaliated by slapping Emhoff back.

Immediate Aftermath

Following the alleged assault, Jane attempted to leave the scene, but Emhoff purportedly forced his way into her taxi. Jane ended their relationship that night and contacted one of her friends, sobbing while recounting the event.

Documentation and Evidence

Jane’s friends have provided the Daily Mail with documentation, including a photograph of Emhoff with Jane (with her face obscured) and travel documents to support their claims.

Previous Relationship and Subsequent Events

Emhoff and Jane had a serious relationship, with discussions about marriage. However, following the alleged attack, their relationship ended. In 2013, Emhoff met Kamala Harris.

Other Allegations

Additionally, Emhoff allegedly admitted to Jane that he had paid approximately $80,000 to settle a dispute with a nanny who accused him of causing her miscarriage after having an affair. Emhoff denied the nanny’s claims.

Public and Media Response

The Breitbart article questions how mainstream media will cover these allegations, especially considering the sources’ credibility and the timing, as October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Contextual Criticism

The article also criticizes the potential disparity in how these allegations may be treated compared to similar accusations against other public figures, such as former President Donald Trump. It highlights a perceived inconsistency in responses from Democrats and the media.
