Kamala Harris' stepdaughter responds to 'childless' attack from JD Vance: 'I love my three parents'

Doug Emhoff’s daughter and ex-wife criticized Ohio GOP Sen. JD Vance after comments he once made referring to Vice President Kamala Harris as childless re-emerged.

During a 2021 interview with Tucker Carlson on Fox News, Vance — now former President Donald Trump’s running mate — said Harris was one of the “childless cat ladies” who “want to make the rest of the country miserable too.” Vance added, “If you look at Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, [Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez], the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children.”

Harris is stepmother to Emhoff’s two children, Ella and Cole, who refer to the vice president as “Momala.”

In a statement to NBC News, Kerstin Emhoff called Vance’s attacks “baseless,” adding: “For over 10 years, since Cole and Ella were teenagers, Kamala has been a co-parent with Doug and I. She is loving, nurturing, fiercely protective, and always present. I love our blended family and am grateful to have her in it.”

A little bit after that, Buttigieg adopted two kids with his husband and the Republican attack shifted from "he is childless" to "how DARE he take time off to spend with his kids? He should be working, who cares about the impact on his family!"

Party of family values, I guess.
