Three weeks ago, a trio of hearsay witnesses came to the Daily Mail to accuse Kamala Harris’ husband of assaulting his then-girlfriend at a Paris fashion event. At the time, the alleged victim refused to comment, and none of the three friends could offer first-hand witness testimony. Doug Emhoff has mainly ignored the allegation, and so did the rest of the mainstream media, and not for nothing either. It looked like a weak attempt at an October surprise, given the timing, as I warned:
[P]erhaps they’re just waiting to see who’s behind the allegation. If it’s Emhoff’s ex-girlfriend, they will likely have to respond. But if this is coming out of left field without her cooperation, then they may be wise to sit tight and wait to see what develops first. This could well be a political dirty trick designed to draw the campaign into a denial that turns this into more of a story than it is…
