“You don’t even get 12 seconds.” – That was the swift and brutal response from liberal commentator Bakari Sellers when Scott Jennings tried to bring up shocking allegations against Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff during a heated CNN segment. Jennings, ever the conservative thorn in CNN’s panels, was attempting to discuss a bombshell DailyMail.com report claiming Emhoff assaulted an ex-girlfriend back in 2012. But Sellers wasn’t having it.
The jaw-dropping accusations claim Emhoff, 59, allegedly struck the woman so hard she spun around while they were waiting in a valet line during a Cannes Film Festival event. According to friends of the woman, who goes by the pseudonym “Jane,” she immediately called them in tears after the assault.
Jennings’ attempt to highlight this explosive story was quickly interrupted, with Abby Phillip, the CNN host, comparing the allegations to those against Donald Trump. She refused to entertain the conversation without addressing Trump’s legal issues first, saying, “I’ll take those concerns seriously if you also express concerns about Trump.” The debate quickly spiraled out of control as Jennings was completely shut down.
The claims against Emhoff don’t stop there. DailyMail.com previously reported Emhoff had an affair with his daughter’s nanny, resulting in a pregnancy, and paid the woman a settlement of $80,000 after a miscarriage. Additionally, his former colleagues have described him as “misogynistic,” accusing him of inappropriate behavior, including hosting men-only events and treating women unfairly at his law firm.
While the allegations are sparking whispers, Emhoff and the White House have remained notably silent, dismissing the claims as “untrue” to a single outlet but refusing to comment further. With Jennings silenced and the accusations hanging in the air, this story isn’t going away anytime soon!
