The report, highlighted\u200c by the U.K.&#8217;s Daily Mail, claims that Emhoff forcefully slapped a woman he was dating during the 2012 Cannes Film Festival, after misinterpreting her actions as flirtatious. Eyewitness accounts describe the incident as violent, with one source stating that the slap was hard enough to spin the woman around. The response \u200cfrom\u2062 Emhoff&#8217;s team categorically denied the accusations, asserting that he\u2064 has never harmed a woman. <\/p>\n<p>Additionally, there are \u2062claims that Emhoff has a troubling reputation concerning his treatment of women, as noted by various individuals in California who reportedly know him. Critics suggest that the \u200bmainstream media&#8217;s lack of coverage of this story reflects a bias against exposing scandals involving Democrats, with figures like Megyn Kelly emphasizing that if Emhoff were a Republican, this would be a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-view-hosts-test-positive-for-covid-19-mid-show-leave-stage-just-before-kamala-harris-interview\/\" title=\"WATCH: \u2018View\u2019 Hosts Test Positive For COVID-19 Mid-Show, Leave Stage Just Before Kamala Harris Interview\">major news story<\/a>. \u2064The timing\u2062 of the allegations, coming just before\u200d a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ohio-launches-insterstate-pacts-to-replace-leftist-voter-roll-management-group-eric\/\" title=\"Ohio forms interstate pacts to replace ERIC, a leftist voter-roll &#039;management&#039;

struck a woman he was romantically involved with in 2012 while attending the Cannes Film Festival in France.<\/p>\n<p>While attempting to leave, Emhoff&rsquo;s date, identified only as &ldquo;Jane&rdquo;

another source described.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps more alarmingly, the report also claimed that Emhoff showed zero remorse about the entire ordeal.<\/p>\n<p>Just days later, Emhoff&rsquo;s campaign has responded by completely denying the report.<\/p>\n<p>An Emhoff representative told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.semafor.com\/newsletter\/10\/03\/2024\/family-feud?utm_source=now&amp;utm_medium=principals&amp;utm_campaign=flagshipnumbered4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Semafor<\/a> that the &ldquo;report is untrue.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the representative noted that &ldquo;any suggestion that he would or has ever hit a woman is false.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Semafor&rsquo;s Max Tani noted, &ldquo;This is a new campaign front: Emhoff has been a key Harris&rsquo;

The report, published by the U.K.&#8217;s Daily Mail, alleged that Emhoff had &#8220;forcefully&#8221; struck a woman he was dating in 2012 during the Cannes Film Festival in France. According to sources close to the situation, while trying to get a taxi, his date\u2014referred to as &#8220;Jane&#8221;\u2014offered money to skip ahead in line and lightly touched a valet&#8217;s shoulder. This led Emhoff to believe she was flirting and resulted in him slapping her hard enough for her to spin around. Alarmingly, it was reported that he showed no remorse for his actions.<\/p>\n<p>In response, Emhoff&#8217;s campaign has categorically denied these allegations, stating that the report is false and any implication of him hitting a woman is untrue.
