Doug Emhoff’s ex-wife makes dig at Melania Trump as Harris’s family unites at DNC
Doug Emhoff’s ex-wife has declared that she’s a more fierce supporter of her ex-husband’s wife Kamala Harris than Melania Trump is of her own current husband Donald Trump.

Kerstin, a 57-year-old film producer, reshared the post and wrote: “Damn right.”
Having attended the DNC for the first two days, Kerstin has already doubled the appearances Melania made at this year’s Republican National Convention where her husband was named the Republican party’s official presidential nominee.
