Kamala Harris attempted to bridge the gender divide during her recent appearance on the popular podcast “Call Her Daddy,” a platform that has captivated the ears of many young women. Harris, who often sprinkles references to her past as a prosecutor throughout her public appearances, aimed to morph her image into that of a hero for women battered by domestic abuse. Unfortunately for Harris, it appears she forgot to mention some uncomfortable truths lurking right under her own roof.
The interview, led by podcast host Alex Cooper, resembled more of a cozy chat than a robust interrogation. Instead of pressing Harris on more dire topics—like the controversy surrounding her husband, Doug Emhoff, who has recently been accused of having a rather unflattering past—the conversation primarily flirted around her cherished subject: abortion rights. During a time when tough questions are often sidestepped by politicians, it appeared Harris wanted to dodge the complexities of her own domestic situation.
So Kamala was allowed to go on a women’s sex/empowerment podcast (Call Her Daddy), and was not asked about her affairs with Willie Brown and Montel Williams (and how they impacted her career/family life), or the new sex abuse allegations against her husband…
So very brave…

Emhoff has been paraded as a champion of progressive masculinity, yet recent revelations have cast doubt on this carefully curated image. Reports emerged suggesting that Emhoff was involved in an incident where he allegedly “forcefully” slapped an ex-girlfriend back in 2012. While he has vehemently denied these claims, it is difficult to overlook the irony when the First Lady of California, championing women’s rights, has a spouse embroiled in his own controversies regarding violence against women.
In her dialogue with Cooper, Harris ruminated on personal experiences with domestic abuse that led her to seek a career in law. Yet her advice for women facing similar circumstances curiously omitted any mention of the allegations directed at her own husband. Instead, she offered general guidance about communicating with trusted individuals, completely sidestepping the uncomfortable fact that her position might lead one to question her own home life.
As Harris criticized Trump throughout the segment, portraying him as a threat to women’s autonomy, one has to wonder how she reconciles that with her own family dynamics. With polling indicating a substantial gender gap—Trump struggling with women while Harris battles with male voters—her strategy seems more about diversion than addressing the real issues underlying her own campaign narrative. As she lashed out at Trump’s role in overturning Roe v. Wade, it might be wise for her to start looking a little closer to home as well. It appears that Harris’s efforts to reach out to women might just be overshadowed by the very man she sleeps next to each night.
