Why is Kamala Harris so unpopular? According to her husband Doug Emhoff, it’s not because she giggles inappropriately at everything, calls trees racists, or doesn’t lift a finger to deal with the border crisis. No you see, according, the reason why Kamala Harris is so unpopular is because “to be first in so many things is hard.”
But according to her husband Doug Emhoff, any criticism of his spouse can be explained away by resentment that she is the “first,” a dog whistle excuse that covers race as well as gender, the two primary defenses of Democrats that are cynically used to discredit legitimate criticism.
During a speech at a gender equality forum in Paris, the second gentleman reportedly said, “One of the things I’ve learned from being married to Kamala Harris is that to be first in so many things is hard.
“She said once that breaking barriers involves breaking, and when you break something sometimes you get cut, and when you get cut, sometimes you bleed. … But it’s worth it,” he added.
