During the online “Overtime” segment of HBO's “Real Time” broadcast Friday, host Bill Maher said that allegations of physical violence against Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, a 2024 Democratic presidential candidate, have not been substantiated. He said that “That's standard in cases like this.” But “I'm not going to blame anyone who hasn't already reported it, because these things need to be confirmed.” And the charge was passed by Supreme Court Justice Brett The accusations against Kavanaugh do not meet the level of credibility.
Maher said, “There's been a lot of terrible talk about Doug this week. …Of course, I don't know if it's true or not.''
He continued:[T]he daily mail She reports that she spoke with three women at the same time. This is very often standard in cases like this, and I believe it was in 201.[2]or blah, they were at the Cannes Film Festival and he slapped her and thought she was flirting with the valet. ”
Maher then said, “We don't know yet whether this will be more reliable, but a lot of conservative news outlets haven't reported it yet. So these things need to be confirmed. , I don't blame anyone who hasn't reported it yet. But certainly when it became more credible at the level of Brett Kavanaugh, things like that were immediately reported by liberals. The media continues to ignore it, and doesn't that make the situation worse?
Maher then added that while Emhoff will not become president, 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump has numerous allegations of misconduct involving women against Emhoff.
