The guys on the RealClearPolitics podcast on Thursday discussed allegations that Second Gentlemen Doug Emhoff -- who Democrats have presented as a role model for a new form of masculinity -- slapped a woman in public in 2012.

The Second Gentleman's office denied the allegations published by the Daily Mail claiming Emhoff hit his partner

Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, has denied a report alleging that he slapped an ex-girlfriend across the face so hard that she spun around.The Daily Mail reported Wednesday that three friends anonymously said that Emhoff had struck the woman—who was also not identified by name—while the two waited in a valet line at France’s Cannes Film Festival in May 2012.

In the wake of Harris taking over the 2024 nomination from President Joe Biden, both Emhoff and her vice presidential pick, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), received praise as paragons of a new, non-toxic, left-wing masculinity.

The second gentleman was accused of assault in an alleged fit of jealousy by three friends of the woman who spoke to a British tabloid.

Second gentleman Doug Emhoff denied the veracity of a Daily Mail report in which three unnamed sources accused him of having slapped a former girlfriend during a 2012 trip to the Cannes Film Festival.

Presidential candidate Kamala Harris' husband is now facing allegations that he slapped an ex-girlfriend years ago, which he has denied.

Reports surfaced claiming Emhoff smacked his then-lover so hard in the face that she was “spun around” after an event at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival in France.
