A Daily Mail writer is out with a column slamming Democrats and their media accomplices over their hypocrisy regarding women.

As previously reported, the Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff has been credibly accused of abusive behavior toward women. The problem, according to columnist Maureen Callahan, is that the rest of the media, including Fox News, seems blissfully unaware of these accusations.

“[Vice President] Kamala Harris was challenged on several issues by Fox News’s Bret Baier on Wednesday night, but her husband’s very troubled history with women was not among them,” Callahan notes in her latest column. “How was this not the first question?”

Good question …

“We’ve heard Kamala’s canned answers on everything else ad nauseam,” Callahan continues. “But when it comes to a multi-sourced claim that in May 2012, Doug Emhoff hit his then-girlfriend in the face so hard that she spun around — in full view of a valet line outside an A-list gala in France — Harris apparently has nothing to answer for.”

It would appear so.

The question on Callahan’s mind — one she obviously believes needs to be asked of the vice president — is whether Harris herself believes these accusations.

“Does Kamala, the prosecutor who boasts she was motivated by the sexual abuse suffered by her teenage best friend, believe this woman?” she writes. “Does she believe the nanny, who Doug Emhoff allegedly impregnated during his first marriage? After all, Doug has admitted the affair but hasn’t denied the pregnancy.”

“Nor has he denied reports that he paid the nanny $80,000 to go away and made her sign an NDA. He has not denied reports that the LAPD was called to the nanny’s house, at the time she was allegedly pregnant, for a level-three emergency — meaning a life-threatening situation,” she continues.

The irony is that Harris and her allegedly abusive husband have made women’s rights a centerpiece of her presidential campaign.

“When we lift up women, we lift up families, we lift up the economy,” Emhoff himself passionately said to MSNBC’s Jen Psaki late last month.

Callahan was unimpressed by his sweet-talking.

“Tell that to the women who worked at Emhoff’s law firm, who have since come forward to claim a culture of misogyny and poor treatment,” she writes.

“As several former employees told the Mail, Emhoff allegedly punished women who didn’t flirt with him, hosted men’s-only drinks nights in the office, and preferred to have young and attractive female associates to accompany him in limos to big events. What a guy,” she adds.

Over on social media meanwhile, both Harris and Emhoff continue to pretend everything is hunky-dory.

The same day that Harris posted the tweet above, Emhoff posted a photo of himself with his daughter.

“Through this campaign, I’ve found myself thinking a lot about the role we as dads have to play in fighting for a future that empowers our daughters,” he wrote in a caption.

Callahan was again left very unimpressed.

“This brazenness, this use of women to valorize Doug and Kamala, gets to the real problem with her candidacy: She’s inauthentic, hypocritical, and avoids any issue that might cause her to be — God forbid — uncomfortable,” she writes. “Depressingly, the mainstream media obliges, all too happily.”

“Shame on all the media lackeys carrying Kamala and Doug’s water. If this were a Republican candidate, the New York Times and co would be digging through this guy’s history like archeologists,” she adds.

Callahan concludes her column by arguing that if Harris “has any real guts” and “wants to show her true mettle,” she’ll sit down with a real journalist like, say, Megyn Kelly, and “take all the questions about Doug, the nanny, the ex-girlfriend, and his alleged workplace culture of misogyny.”
