Doug Emhoff Does Not Deny Accusation of Slapping His Girlfriend

0


Doug Emhoff is a lawyer, so it matters when he is asked about the allegation in the Daily Mail that he viciously slapped a girlfriend at the  Cannes Film Festival in 2012 by calling it a “distraction” and not denying it.

In the last hour of Morning Joe on Friday, they played a preview of a patty-cake interview Joe Scarborough gave to Emhoff in Georgia, and it started off with Emhoff talking like a tough guy about his his wife kicked Trump’s ass in their debate.

SCARBOROUGH: You talked about the debate. Why do you think Donald Trump won’t debate her again?

EMHOFF: Well, you saw the first debate, didn’t you?

SCARBOROUGH: Yeah, yeah.

EMHOFF: Yeah. That’s why. He got his ass kicked. And so he’s afraid that that’s going to happen again. Rather he’s spreading this fog, this fog of misinformation and disinformation and gaslighting rather than face her again.

That was the opening for Scarborough to lump in the domestic-violence allegations as part of the fake-news “fog.” Scarborough said Trump is spreading “tabloid stories about your personal life, saying — this should be front and center. He’s saying it about your wife and making incredibly crude and lewd suggestions about her past life.”

This is pretty funny stuff after CNN and MSNBC gave porn star Stormy Daniels and her lawyer Michael Avenatti about 200 interviews.

This was then Joe’s question, of sorts: “I’m just curious. I know I’m like a very Zen, mindful person [Emhoff smiles at the sarcasm], but I think I’d be pissed off. I’m just wondering… How do you all stay centered? How do you stay disciplined and not really go off and not really push back hard at these things?”
