Eric Trump: Kamala should be disqualified, media failed by not reporting on Kamala's husband
According to former first son Eric Trump, Vice President Kamala Harris should be "disqualified" from the presidential race against his father due to recent terrible reports.
The middle Trump son says that reports that second gentleman, Doug Emhoff, who is Harris's husband, slapped an ex girlfriend and impregnated the family nanny are cause enough for the removal, as The Daily Mail reported.
Harris is, according to recent polling, neck-in-neck with former President Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election, and the Trump family has asserted, once again, that the media is not offering fair coverage of the pair.
It has long been a thorn in Trump's side that much of the mainstream coverage of him and his candidacy has leaned left, offering him up in a harsh and unforgiving light, in some cases even lying about him, according to the Trump camp.
From Eric
With the exception of Emhoff's hazy dismissal of "distracting tabloid stories," major media outlets have largely ignored the two serious allegations that have been made against the second gentleman.
These allegations were reported extensivly by the Daily Mail and non-legacy media outlets, but mostly ignored on cable telivision news stations.
"These stories are disqualifying and they won't allow them to be run because they'll do anything to have Kamala Harris win and they'll do anything to be anti-Donald Trump," Eric said.
"The mainstream media has effectively become a lobbyist for the Democratic Party, they're all intertwined, they're all best friends."
The Claims
The most severe allegation is that Emhoff struck his then-girlfriend with such force that she was compelled to spin in a drunken attack at the Cannes Film Festival in 2012.
This was substantiated by three of the woman's acquaintances in a report on October 2 and subsequently confirmed by the victim herself in an exclusive article published by the Mail on October 24.
Initially, the victim, a prominent New York attorney who is identified solely as "Jane" by the Daily Mail, declined to provide an interview.
However, Emhoff's denial and his claimed hypocrisy in professing to be a feminist in media interviews ultimately proved to be too much for her.
The Victim Speaks Out
"What's frightening for a woman that's been on the other end of it, is watching this completely fabricated persona being portrayed," Jane said.
"He's being held out to be the antithesis of who he actually is. And that is utterly shocking."
The Mail's initial disclosure in August that Emhoff had impregnated the family caregiver while married to his first wife, Kerstin, was followed by the bombshell reports.
Emhoff acknowledged that his marriage experienced "tough times" in response to the nanny story, but he refrained from providing specifics.
