Second gentleman Doug Emhoff has hit Donald Trump over anti-Semitic comments by the former president.
In a recent interview with “GMA” anchor Michael Strahan, the other gentleman, who is Jewish, accused Trump of having a “record” of saying “nasty, anti-Semitic things.”
Strahan asked Emhoff what he thought of Trump’s interview with WABC in July in which he claimed that Vice President Kamala Harris, Emhoff’s wife and Democratic presidential nominee, “don’t like jews.”
“It’s typical Donald Trump gaslighting,” Emhoff told Strahan. He “is a guy who’s had a track record of saying incredibly vile, anti-Semitic things. So for him to say that — I’m almost laughing at — at how — chutzpah, as we would say.”
Emhoff has repeatedly attacked Trump for his rhetoric against Jewish Americans, calling him anti-Semitic in May after Trump claimed that Jews who voted for President Joe Biden “need to get their heads examined.”
On Wednesday, Emhoff led two separate fundraisers for the Harris-Walz campaign, where he defended his wife against comments from Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who said at a Trump town hall Tuesday in Michigan that Harris “has nothing to keep her humble.” because she has no biological children.
“We know that all parents, no matter how you become, make the same sacrifices and revel in the same joy of raising children as any parent,” Emhoff said, adding, “Women in this country will never humble themselves before Donald Trump.
