Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff Calls Out Trump: He's 'A Known Antisemite'

Second gentleman Doug Emhoff called former President Donald Trump “a known antisemite” after Trump shared a social media video this week referencing a “unified Reich” should he win November’s presidential election.

Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, addressed Trump’s controversial behavior in a video released Tuesday that shows him watching a clip of Trump repeating criticism he has made of Jewish people who support President Joe Biden.

Emhoff appeared to be referring to Trump once dining with white nationalist and antisemite Nick Fuentes and Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, who is also known for making antisemitic remarks.

On Monday, Trump shared a video on his Truth Social account that showed a fake newspaper report about him wanting to make “the creation of a unified Reich” after having a “landslide” victory in the 2024 presidential election.

Trump later took the video down. A
