Doug Emhoff: Not Fair To Criticize Kamala Harris For The Admin’s Failures

Vice President Kamala Harris‘ husband, Doug Emhoff, claimed during an interview this week that it was unfair for people to criticize his wife’s performance over the last three and a half years because she was not the president.

Emhoff made the remarks during a softball ABC News interview Friday morning on “Good Morning America,” which came just days after the network’s debate between Harris and former President Donald Trump that was extremely biased against the Republican nominee.

Co-anchor Michael Strahan asked Emhoff if he thought it was fair that his wife was being criticized for the numerous failings of the administration, even though she was named the border czar, bragged about being the last person in the room on Afghanistan, and was the tie-breaking vote on passing the American Rescue Plan—the legislation that triggered the inflation crisis.

“She’s the vice president, not the president. The vice president is there as part of the administration, not leading the administration,” he claimed. “So as president, she’s gonna be able to put forth her policies and plans and effectuate those.”

The Trump campaign fired back at Emhoff over the remarks, posting on X: “Second Gentleperson ‘Doug’: Kamala bears no responsibility for the Biden-Harris failures because she’s only the second most powerful person in the country, not the first.”

“Joe Biden himself has admitted that Kamala plays an enormous role in his failed administration,” the campaign said. “Kamala brags about being ‘the last person in the room’ on the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal decision. She absolutely owns every failure of the Biden-Harris administration.”

WATCH: Video Emerges Of Moment Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Was Arrested By Feds

Video footage emerged on Friday of the moment that Sean “Diddy” Combs was arrested by federal law enforcement officials this week as part of a sex trafficking and racketeering case.

TMZ obtained the video, taken at the Park Hyatt New York hotel in midtown Manhattan, that showed the moment that federal agents surrounded Combs on Monday night and took him away from his posse.

Agents appeared to take Diddy to a different part of the hotel for a short time before escorting him out through the lobby in handcuffs.

The U.S. Department of Justice unsealed charges against Combs on Tuesday that alleged he “abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct.”

Prosecutors said that Combs carried out this scheme by relying “on the employees, resources, and influence of the multi-faceted business empire that he led and controlled—creating a criminal enterprise whose members and associates engaged in, and attempted to engage in, among other crimes, sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice.”

Prosecutors say that in all times relevant to the indictment, Combs “engaged in a persistent and pervasive pattern of abuse toward women and other individuals. This abuse was, at times, verbal, emotional, physical, and sexual.”

The indictment made reference to a video that surfaced earlier this year of Combs beating his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in a hotel back in 2016 — an incident that he admitted happened.

“On numerous occasions from at least in or about 2009 and continuing for years, COMBS assaulted women by, among other things, striking, punching, dragging, throwing objects at, and kicking them,” the indictment said.

Prosecutors said that Diddy engaged in lengthy sex parties referred to as “Freak Offs” that could last days in which he or his associates lured women in under the guise of interest in a romantic relationship.

Combs then used “force, threats of force, and coercion, to cause victims to engage in extended sex acts with male commercial sex workers” during the events, prosecutors said. “In arranging these Freak Offs, COMBS, with the assistance of members and associates of the Combs Enterprise, transported, and caused to be transported, commercial sex workers across state lines and internationally.”

There was heavy drug use at the “Freak Offs,” which Combs allegedly recorded, sometimes without the women knowing.
