<p>Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, claimed in an MSNBC interview that aired in part on Friday that recent allegations that have been made against him were nothing more than a &#8220;distraction.&#8221;</p>
<p>Emhoff made the remarks in an interview with Joe Scarborough on &#8220;Morning Joe&#8221; while discussing what he claimed was &#8220;misinformation and disinformation&#8221; being spread by former President Donald Trump against his wife.</p>
<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s spreading it about you, saying that tabloid stories about your personal life, saying it should be front and center,&#8221; Scarborough said.</p>
<p>Scarborough&#8217;s remarks appear to be a reference to a series of Daily Mail reports about Emhoff, including a report where he was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/doug-emhoff-accused-of-hitting-ex-girlfriend-in-the-face-at-high-profile-event-report">accused</a> of hitting his ex-girlfriend in the face.</p>
<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s saying it about your wife and making incredibly crude and lewd suggestions about her past life,&#8221; Scarborough continued. &#8220;I&#8217;m just wondering, how do you all stay centered? How do you stay disciplined and not really go off and not really push back hard at these things?&#8221;</p>
<p>Emhoff responded: &#8220;We don&#8217;t have time to be pissed off. We don&#8217;t have time to focus on it. It&#8217;s all a distraction. It&#8217;s designed to try to get us off our game.&#8221;</p>
<p>When asked if the allegations threw him off, he said they did not and that he and Harris are hyper-focused on the election right now.</p>
<p>&#8220;All that other stuff you&#8217;re talking about bounces off. It&#8217;s just a distraction,&#8221; he later claimed. &#8220;We&#8217;re not going to let it distract us.&#8221;</p>

<p>That’s not a denial. Doug is a lawyer. His decision to pivot when asked about DV was a deliberate decision.<br />
