Who is socialist New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s dream man?
None other than second gentleman Doug Emhoff!
Per AOC, speaking at a Nevada rally, “He’s not afraid to embody and pass on these values of security and this idea that you can, you can let your girl shine.”
Yowza!
And she’s right on target — if by “let your girl shine” she meant “brutally assault your date for speaking to another man.”
For Emhoff is credibly accused of doing just that by a former flame, a woman he took with him to Cannes who he slapped so hard she reportedly spun around.
Why? Because she had the audacity to talk to a taxi valet.
What a dreamboat.
Yes, Emhoff denies the whole thing, but friends of the accuser say she told them about it at the time, long before he entered the public eye as the veep’s hubby.
AOC also praised Emhoff because for the unenlightened “being a man means putting a woman down,” but “the second gentleman is a real contrast to that.”
Contrast how? Because he got his kids’ nanny pregnant and then divorced their mother?
Emhoff unquestionably did that.
And disgruntled ex staffers at the Los Angeles law firm he ran for years reportedly described him as an “a–hole” and “misogynist”; the firm later settled via arbitration a lawsuit detailing “a pattern of abusive conduct by male partners.”
In short, Emhoff looks to be precisely the type of man progs like AOC usually excoriate as lacking respect for even the women in his life, let alone the wider feminist project.
But the Harris campaign has worked to paint him as a model of modern masculinity; the lapdog press has played along — and now AOC is on the PR bandwagon.
So why, then, is this lefty firebrand backing this obvious scuzzball?
Because the moral commitments progressives scream endlessly about don’t matter when power is on the line.
And so AOC throws aside any pretense at feminist solidarity in the hopes of eking out a Harris victory.
Remember this moment the next time AOC begins to blather about the fierce moral urgency of something or other.
