To no one’s surprise, the corporate media are engaged in a full-on propaganda campaign to bury the credible bombshell news that Kamala Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff, allegedly battered a former girlfriend. On Wednesday, the Daily Mail released a story that included statements from three friends of the alleged victim, along with travel documents and photos to back up the claim. The claim is this: in 2012, while attending the Cannes Film Festival, Emhoff slapped a then-girlfriend so hard she spun completely around. But, as of now, the fake media are not only ignoring the credible allegation of physical abuse committed by a man who could become America’s historic first First Gentleman, the media are going even further to bury the story by producing one puff piece after another to make Emhoff look like some kind of folk hero. And here is shameless MSNBC gushing over Emhoff and how he “reshaped the perception of masculinity” — yeah, a new masculinity where you knock your child’s nanny up and your girlfriend around. Cracks are beginning to show in Harris' inner circle, as evidenced by recent leaks to the liberal press. The cause appears to be Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's numerous bald-faced lies — or what Politico has euphemistically referred to as "verbal errors" and "problem[s] misspeaking." Four individuals in Harris' camp spoke anonymously to Politico, indicating that despite the vetting process, they were blindsided by some of Walz's more egregious whoppers, such as his repeated yarn about being in Hong Kong during the infamous massacre at Tiananmen Square in 1989. Walz "misspoke" at length, for instance, during a congressional hearing in 2014, claiming, "[The Tiananmen Square massacre] certainly had enduring influence on me. As a young man I was just going to teach high school in Foshan in Guangdong province and was in Hong Kong in May 1989. As the events were unfolding, several of us went in. I still remember the train station in Hong Kong." During the vice presidential debate, moderator Margaret Brennan asked, "You said you were in Hong Kong during the deadly Tiananmen Square protest in the spring of 1989, but Minnesota Public Radio and other media outlets are reporting that you actually didn't travel to Asia until August of that year. Can you explain that discrepancy?" After providing Brennan with an unsolicited and scattered biography, Walz said, "I've not been perfect, and I'm a knucklehead at times, but it's always been about that." Walz added, "I will talk a lot, I will get caught up in the rhetoric, but being there, the impact it made, the difference in my life. I learned a lot about China." When asked once again to bridge the chasm between reality and his account, Walz suggested he "misspoke." Once the truth came out about the governor's military record and retiring rank, the Harris campaign reportedly had to revise Walz's biography. Whereas it previously listed the governor as a "retired command sergeant major," it was adjusted to indicate that Walz once held the command sergeant major rank — a critical distinction, granted he reverted back to the rank of master sergeant after failing to complete the necessary coursework. Politico noted that the Harris campaign also felt compelled to claim Walz "misspoke" when he said in 2018 that he didn't want "those weapons of war, that I carried in war" accessible to law-abiding Americans. Of course, Walz never served in combat, having bailed out of the service around the time his battalion received word it would soon be deployed to Iraq. When Walz was exposed for lying about "us[ing] I.V.F. to start a family," having actually used intrauterine insemination to have children, Lauren Hitt, a spokeswoman for the Harris campaign, once again used the magic word, claiming Walz "misspoke."
