CNN pundit Scott Jennings was surprisingly shut down when he attempted to bring up DailyMail.com’s exclusive story about Doug Emhoff assaulting his ex-girlfriend, as well as his behavior at his law firm.
The Second Gentleman, 59, allegedly punched the woman in the face so hard that she turned around while waiting in the valet line late at night after a May 2012 Cannes Film Festival event in France.
One of his friends told DailyMail.com that the woman called him immediately after the incident, sobbing in her taxi, and described the alleged assault.
Jennings, a conservative foil on CNN’s often liberal-laden panels, attempted to discuss the story earlier Wednesday when he noted that rapper Eminem, who has long been accused of misogyny in his lyrics, was endorsing Harris.
“So when you think about the things (Eminem) has said to sell those records, you also consider some of the questions surrounding Harris’ own husband in this regard,” Jennings said, before liberal Bakari Sellers asked him. interrupted. .

“Oh my God,” Sellers said. ‘Okay, you don’t even have 12 seconds. I’m not going to let you go to the other end of BS.
Host Abby Phillip later refused to take the allegations seriously, comparing them to those against Donald Trump.
‘Let’s stop here for a second. “Okay, but Scott, I just have to say that I will take those concerns seriously if you also raise concerns about the allegations (against Trump),” he said.
Donald Trump has been found guilty of rape. That’s true too, so we’re not going to litigate those other things, but you can’t just pick and choose.’
DailyMail.com is not naming the woman, who is a successful New York lawyer, but will refer to her by the pseudonym ‘Jane’.
A second friend said Jane, who had been dating Emhoff for three months, also told her about the alleged violence at the time.
A third friend told DailyMail.com that Jane first told him in 2014 that she had dated Emhoff and told him the full story of her alleged abuse in 2018, when then-Senator Harris was in the news after questioning the judge. of Supreme Court Brett Kavanaugh in a Senate session. hearing on sexual assault allegations.

Jane declined to comment.
The shocking claims follow revelations by DailyMail.com that Emhoff cheated on his first wife and mother of his two children around 2008, allegedly impregnating his daughter’s nanny, who also worked as her primary school teacher.
Emhoff admitted to the affair with nanny and teacher Najen Naylor after DailyMail.com published the story last month.
Jane’s three friends said she also told them about an alleged disturbing incident during her relationship with the Second Gentleman, in which Emhoff nonchalantly admitted to impregnating Naylor.
Emhoff told Jane that the babysitter accused him of causing her to miscarry, the friends claimed.
According to friends, Emhoff did not say how he was allegedly responsible for the miscarriage and told Jane that the nanny’s claims were false.
But the Second Gentleman allegedly confessed to Jane that he paid Naylor a settlement of around $80,000 and had the nanny sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA).
Emhoff was previously dubbed by Democrats as a “wife man” and a “mensch,” a Yiddish term for an honorable and kind man. He has also spoken out in media interviews about being an ally to women and against toxic masculinity.
