Doug Emhoff at the DNC: Republicans online furious that dad loves daughter.
SlateTerminally online Republicans have found a new boogeyman at the Democratic National Convention and it is … uh … Ella Emhoff? Specifically, the loving relationship between Doug Emhoff, Kamala Harris’ husband, and his adult daughter: This moment—of the second gentleman and his daughter, 25, side-hugging while greeting well-wishers at the Democratic National Convention—was all over conservative social media on Monday and Tuesday. Lots of people criticized Ella’s clothes and tattoos: “This family is competing with Biden for the title of trashiest family to occupy the White House,” said the right-wing troll Laura Loomer. But I really think they’re underestimating the extent to which Ella and Doug Emhoff align with actual, real Americans. On Tuesday night, Doug Emhoff delivered a charmingly awkward speech at the convention, during which he pointed out Ella up in the family’s seats.
