Victor Davis Hanson, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, said on his podcast Tuesday that Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff avoided canceling “Me Too” because of President Joe Biden’s past.
Three friends of Emhoff’s ex-girlfriend said in a report released Oct. 2 that Emhoff slapped his unidentified then-girlfriend during an alcohol-related fight in 2012. He told the Daily Mail that he had suspicions. Hanson on “The Victor Davis Hanson Show” noticed It’s unclear whether the accusations against Emhoff are true, but U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Emhoff, who faced sexual assault accusations while an incumbent candidate, said they likely would have been canceled during the “Me Too” movement. He quoted Kavanaugh.
“Well, in my opinion, we won’t know if that happened until all three of us come forward and identify ourselves and fill out affidavits. That’s not what happened. But ‘Me Too.’ According to the rules, there is no need to do so. Just saying something can ruin your career. But think about it, this is much more recent than Mr. Kavanaugh’s accusations, much more corroborated by witnesses, and much more violent,” Hanson said.
Hanson was referring to an early August report in the Daily Mail alleging that Emhoff had an affair with his then-young daughter’s nanny around 2009 while still married to his first wife, Kerstin, and later revealed that acknowledged. statement On CNN. The nanny was also employed at her daughter’s private school in Los Angeles, and the affair reportedly resulted in her becoming pregnant. a person involved said. daily mail Women didn’t “keep babies” CBS News She also reported that she was not having a baby.

“Did she give birth to a child? Did she miscarry? Did she have a forced abortion? No one knows, and the media doesn’t want to talk about it either. Now, ‘Me Too ” rules, it becomes a news article in itself. But to put it side by side, he just did a big interview with Jen Psaki, and he was being used to redefine a new empathetic masculinity, along with this clown Tim Walz. That’s the thing,” Hanson added.

Hanson said the “Me Too” movement effectively “disappeared” during Biden’s 2020 campaign, as multiple women accused the then-Democratic presidential candidate of “violating their position.” He said he did. He also highlighted accusations by former Senate aide Tara Reade that Biden sexually assaulted her in a Senate hallway in 1993.
“And remember, ‘Me Too’ is dead.” [when] Joe Biden was… campaigning, but it really disappeared in the summer of 2019 when he declared his candidacy and people came forward. “Remember about the seven women, they claimed he invaded their space,” Hanson said. “And we had Tara Reade come forward… She said he cornered her and digitally penetrated her and raped her…”
“They dropped all the accusations against him by the women, especially Tara Reade. And that was the end of ‘Me Too,’ because after that, no one was going to let the future president of the United States go.” “Because we could not guarantee its destruction,” Hanson concluded.
