The ex-wife of second gentleman Doug Emhoff recently defended Vice President Kamala Harris against sexist criticisms regarding her lack of biological children, labeling them as 'baseless.' Kerstin Emhoff praised Harris for her role as a co-parent to her stepchildren for over a decade, emphasizing Harris's loving, nurturing, and protective nature within their blended family.
The defense by Emhoff comes in response to resurfaced video footage of Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance making derogatory remarks about Harris, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, referring to them as 'childless cat ladies.' Vance's comments sparked controversy, with Emhoff highlighting the inaccuracy and unfairness of such statements.
