Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez fawned over Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff’s “masculinity” and “values” at a campaign event Wednesday in Las Vegas.
DailyMail.com reported that Emhoff impregnated the family nanny while married to his first wife, allegedly slapped an ex-girlfriend at the Cannes Film Festival and was “inappropriate” and “misogynistic” at work.
But the New York Democrat brushed aside those accusations, even though Emhoff’s people confirmed his affair with the nanny, to tell a crowd of students at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, that he was the ideal modern man. .
‘“She’s not afraid to embody and convey these values of confidence and the idea that you can let your girl shine,” she said.’And he embodies it very well. We should all be really proud of him.’
He told students gathered at the Marjorie Barrick Art Museum on campus that the example Emhoff has set “has been very important in this presidential cycle.”

AOC noted that there were many “bad examples” of “masculinity and men” and “a lot of misogyny.”
“There are a lot of ideas about what it means to be a man to put down a woman or to put down queer people,” he continued. “And this idea that, to elevate one’s worth, we need to put down the people around you.”
She argued that this is not masculinity but “weakness” and “insecurity.”
“But Doug really is the contrast, the second gentleman, he’s a real contrast to that,” Ocasio-Cortez said.
‘“You can stand next to the vice president and lift her up instead of putting her down,” he said. ‘And he knows that by helping women, he also helps the men around him. “He is not afraid to be the father of a powerful daughter and a great son.”
That son, Cole Emhoff, was among those who traveled with the first gentleman on Wednesday to get out the vote in Nevada, one of seven key states.
Wednesday marked the first day of early voting on the UNLV campus.
Actor Josh Gad was also present. He unleashed a torrent of four-letter words at the prospect of a second Trump term.
The Emhoffs and AOC were also joined at the event, which featured a hundred or two, by actor Josh Gad, who unleashed a torrent of four-letter words at the prospect of a second Trump term.
“I’m Olaf and I like sane candidates,” the Frozen star said.
After reminding the audience that he’s probably most famous for a role in a children’s movie, he let the curse words break out.
“Just so you know, I prepared a whole speech, I was going to do everything, and then I was like, ehh, this is nonsense.” I want to speak to you from the heart. “Not as a substitute, but as someone who was once in your place,” he said.
He also highlighted that he is the father of two children.
‘I’m afraid. Good? I wake up in the middle of the night and think about what we can lose and it scares me. And I’m a pretty optimistic guy,” the actor admitted.
He said he doesn’t like that “a candidate leads with so much hatred, with so much venom.”
“Because my kids look at that person and say, ‘Oh, that’s the leader of the free world,'” Gad said.
Cole Emhoff introduced his father, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, at an appearance Wednesday on the UNLV campus.
‘Because when you lead like that, you teach our kids that they can be, sorry for the cameras, real pieces of shit. And that is a problem. And I’m done with that problem. I did four years of that. And I’m not coming back,” he said, reciting the Harris-Walz campaign slogan.
Gad argued that people should be afraid of polls and should be realistic about the consequences.
“It’s not just about calling Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage and not apologizing for it,” he said. “It’s not just carelessly telling the people you work with, ‘Hey, I really like some of Hitler’s closest confidants. Can my generals be like that guy?”
“It’s not just the vitriol, it’s not just the other, it’s all of that,” he said.
‘And it’s the fact that he doesn’t care about any of you,’ she continued. ‘And I have a secret: he doesn’t care about a single one of his followers. He cares about himself. “He’s running for president because he’s running for prison.”
“And if that son of a bitch comes near the White House, we will all be in grave danger,” the actor warned.
When it was Emhoff’s turn, he gave a slightly happier speech and expressed confidence that Harris would win.
“She will be president in six days,” Emhoff proclaimed.
