Emhoff blasts Huckabee Sanders’ dig at Harris about children

( The Hill ) — Second gentleman Doug Emhoff slammed Republican Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ dig at Vice President Kamala Harris for not having biological children.

“Somehow because Cole and Ella (Emhoff) aren’t Kamala’s quote-unquote biological children, that she doesn’t have anything in her life to keep her humble,” Emhoff said Wednesday during a campaign event in Brooklyn, New York.

“As if keeping women humble, whether you have children or not, is something we should strive for, It is not,” he continued as the crowd applauded. “But I’ll tell you what, going back to that debate, Kamala sure kept Trump humble at that debate, didn’t she, because that’s what this is really about.”

Sanders said her kids are a “permanent reminder of what’s important.”
