#MAGA #attacks on Kamala Harris' #stepdaughter threaten to backfire on Donald Trump

#Ella #Emhoff has triggered Trump's bitter #bro #fanbase
— but an embrace of the #incel #vote could come back to hurt him

Harris' family has drawn ire -- especially her stepdaughter,
25-year-old model and designer Ella Emhoff,
whose creativity, beauty, and easygoing love for her family has sent many on the right into paroxysms of #rage.

The daughter of Harris' husband, Doug Emhoff, triggers the incel-minded online right by being a Brooklyn hipster who rejects the tiresome conservative rules for how women are allowed to dress or behave.

In response, Donald Trump's fanboys are in a total meltdown, unable to accept the existence of a woman who doesn't care what they think of her.

And they can't hide that they're furious that she looks great doing so.

This week, at the Democratic National Convention, the speeches of #Michelle #Obama and the Second Gentleman #Doug #Emhoff (and maybe #Lil #Jon’s, if you want to call that a speech) stood out.

But there was one speech, in particular, that struck me: 🔥The sermon-like words of Sen. #Raphael #Warnock (D-Ga.).

Warnock has served as senior pastor at Atlanta’s historic #Ebenezer #Baptist #Church for nearly 20 years.
His election on January 5, 2021 was one of two pivotal, and highly covered, Senate races in Georgia.

That made him a national figure, of sorts. But not exactly a household name. If you don’t know Warnock well, it’s worth remembering he is a pastor who invokes his Christianity as a foundation of his politics.

⭐️He clearly brings that power to the secular pulpit in his speech on the first night of the DNC, telling of the need to heal a nation that has long been broken.

#Michelle #Obama might have done a bit of call-and-response.

But it is hard to imagine anyone else pulling off calling Donald Trump a “#plague,” as Warnock does, with such heft.

#DougEmhoff, modern-day sex symbol

#Emhoff is secure enough with his own #masculinity to sometimes prioritize his wife’s ambitions over his own.

What. A. Hunk.

A video produced by Cole #Emhoff to introduce his father & #Harris’ husband, second gentleman #DougEmhoff, noted how he left his #law practice to support her. Cole Emhoff narrates that he was “so proud to watch him do it, an example of true #partnership.” The video was co-produced by his mother — Emhoff’s ex-wife.
