   After a second negative Daily Mail report about Second Gentleman Doug   
   Emhoff's behavior with women, Emhoff's spokesperson issued a brief   
   statement to Semafor denying one allegation and ignoring another set of   
   allegations.   
      
   As RedState covered, Emhoff is accused of slapping an ex-girlfriend   
   across the face so hard that she spun around. Emhoff's supposed reason   
   for the assault was his belief that the woman, who the Daily Mail   
   referred to as Jane, was flirting with a valet as the two left a party   
   during the Cannes Film Festival in France in 2012. Of course, the   
   liberal legacy media ignored the story, and the next day Semafor   
   published a tidbit in their morning newsletter headlined, "Second   
   gentleman becomes a target," making Emhoff the victim, of course:   
      
   Half of the political world focused Wednesday on a Daily Mail report   
   that second gentleman Doug Emhoff “forcefully slapped ex-girlfriend for   
   flirting with another man” at Cannes in 2012. Others (including Semafor)   
   haven’t matched the reporting, and as of Wednesday evening the incident   
   didn’t appear in The New York Times or top outlets. But the allegations   
   are a dominant narrative in conservative media: Megyn Kelly’s coverage   
   had more than 150,000 views on YouTube, while Trump aide Stephen Miller   
   demanded answers.   
      
   In a statement to Semafor, a spokesperson for Emhoff said “this report   
   is untrue,” and that “any suggestion that he would or has ever hit a   
   woman is false.” This is a new campaign front: Emhoff has been a key   
   Harris’ advocate, cast as a relatable, enlightened “wife guy” and father   
   who “discussed the feminism of Pearl Jam.” Now he’s a target. A New York   
   Post columnist wrote that if “Emhoff is the new face of masculinity, the   
   Dems are up a creek.”   
      
   The spokesperson didn't address which aspects of the report are untrue -   
   the Daily Mail published photos of Emhoff and the woman together and   
   their travel itinerary, and a YouTube video from the party's red carpet   
   showed Emhoff and a brunette woman attending the event together.   
      
   Jane also told Daily Mail that Emhoff admitted to her that he'd   
   impregnated the kids' teacher (who also worked for the Emhoff family as   
   a nanny), and that the teacher/nanny accused Emhoff of causing a   
   miscarriage during an "aggressive" altercation. Eventually, Emhoff told   
   Jane, he "settled" with the nanny for approximately $80,000 and had her   
   sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA).   
      
      
   Sources not connected with Jane told RedState in August that there was a   
   domestic violence incident between Emhoff and the nanny that resulted in   
   the LAPD being dispatched to the home where the nanny lived. The Daily   
   Mail report included an LAPD report showing a call for service for an   
   "unknown disturbance" to the nanny's home in June, 2009, which   
   corresponds with the time frame of the pregnancy.   
      
   Emhoff's spokesperson didn't address the new information about the   
   nanny's pregnancy specifically. Wonder why?
