Both VP Harris and husband Doug Emhoff were previously involved in extramarital affairs
It was recently admitted by second gentleman Doug Emhoff that, prior to his marriage to Vice President Kamala Harris, he engaged in an extramarital affair with and impregnated the nanny and teacher of his children with his first wife.
Yet, while Democrats and the media have long been hyper-focused on any alleged sexual misdeeds by former President Donald Trump, they have displayed a stunningly hypocritical lack of curiosity about the extramarital histories of Emhoff and Harris, according to the New York Post's Editorial Board.
Harris is alleged to have received a substantial boost to her early political career by way of her affair with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, who was married to another woman at the time.
Dems, media downplay and ignore revelation of Emhoff affair
According to the Post, Emhoff admitted over the weekend that his 2009 divorce from his first wife, Kerstin Emhoff, had been precipitated by an illicit affair he'd had with another woman.
That other woman was the nanny of the Emhoffs' children and a teacher at their school, and while it has been reported that Emhoff's mistress became pregnant during that affair, it is unknown whether that pregnancy ended with an abortion or birth.
Yet, while Democrats and the media showed unrelenting interest in every detail of former President Trump's prior extramarital affairs, they have largely downplayed or simply ignored the admission from the prospective first gentleman Emhoff.
Rather, they have continued unabated with the ongoing effort to publicly portray Emhoff as an eminently decent and honorable man who is likable and personable and will be a historic figure as the first male spouse of the first female president, if VP Harris -- whom he married around a decade ago -- were to win the presidency in November.
That one-sided coverage was called out by liberal journalist Mickey Kaus, who shared a report about the admitted Emhoff affair and wrote, "Editors: If it's relevant to the election to profile Emhoff in your publication (typically in an absurdly positive light), this story is relevant too. If readers need to know the good details about him, they should also be told the bad details."
Harris previously had an affair with former San Fran Mayor Willie Brown
The way that Democrats and the media have largely shied away from covering the Emhoff affair story is disappointing but unsurprising, given the similar way VP Harris' prior affair with former Mayor Brown was treated over the years.
In 2019, and in anticipation of then-Sen. Harris' (D-CA) failed 2020 presidential run, USA Today reported that Brown publicly acknowledged his affair with the then-local prosecutor in the 1990s -- while he was technically still married but "estranged" from his wife, Blanche Brown.
The former San Francisco mayor, who was the California Assembly Speaker at the time of his romance with Harris, acknowledged that he "may have influenced her career by appointing her to two state commissions," and further admitted that he "certainly helped with her first race for district attorney in San Francisco."
Interestingly enough, after appointing Harris to the lucrative positions, boosting her burgeoning political career, and even gifting her a BMW, Harris turned on Brown after she was elected and threatened to prosecute him, prompting Brown to joke in 2019 that the "difference" between Harris and other California politicians he'd helped was that he "would be indicted if I 'so much as jaywalked' while she was D.A.," and added, "That’s politics for ya."
Harris affair proves she doesn't care about disrupting "black families"
Meanwhile, in light of the revelations about Emhoff and Harris' affairs and Harris' claim that she is the pro-family candidate in the race, The Economic Times reported that black conservative activist Michaelah Montgomery had something to say about that while speaking to the crowd at a Trump rally in Georgia.
At one point in her remarks against the current vice president and prospective Democratic nominee, Montgomery said, "Why don't we ask Mrs. Willie Brown if Kamala Harris cares about black families?"
