Fox News host Harris Faulkner laid into Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff following reports that his motorcade had blocked access to handicapped parking spaces.
Faulkner discussed the situation with her cohosts on the network’s midday panel show, “Outnumbered,” and suggested that it was proof that “liberal privilege” was a real thing — and it extended to Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris.
“It looks like you can add the vice president’s husband to the liberal privilege list,” cohost Emily Compagno said as she introduced the video clip. “New video showing his motorcade hogging several handicap parking spots while he leisurely shopped at Whole Foods in Brentwood, California. When the second gentleman left the supermarket, he even stopped to say hello to his fans.”
WATCH:
The video showed the two black Chevy Suburbans — which comprise Emhoff’s motorcade — parked diagonally across the handicapped spaces in front of a Whole Foods in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles. The two vehicles remained parked there, blocking access to the handicapped spots for some 20 minutes while Emhoff shopped and picked up dry-cleaning.
He told a bystander that he was “doing good” as he returned to one of the vehicles and climber in — at which point the drivers briefly hit the lights and sirens prior to leaving the parking lot.
Emhoff and his motorcade were on the wrong side of California’s vehicle code, however, which states that “it is unlawful for any person to park or leave standing any vehicle in a stall or space designated for disabled persons and disabled veterans … unless the vehicle displays either a special identification license plate … or a distinguishing placard.”
“I think this is one of those just grab the privilege and ride it home, cowboy,” Faulkner remarked during Monday’s broadcast. “Like, I just don’t think they think deep enough to something that his wife might have said earlier about, you know, giving an advantage to those who might need it at a time, that sort of thing.”
Faulkner went on to say that she didn’t believe Emhoff or his staffers had parked there with any malicious intent — but that they had likely just failed to recognize just how bad the optics might be. “I really don’t think it was mean-spirited, but it is one other thing that’s politically dangerous. It’s oblivious.”
WTF is “Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff”?
The VP husband.....................
Kamala’s parents were not US citizens when she was born here. K is not a natural born citizen for Presidential and Vice Presidential purposes. She is not eligible to be VP. But since the Dems have corrupted the election process every way they can.... The Constitution does not count any more.
“Her parents were not citizens at time of her birth. She is not a natural born citizen.”
Correct!
Ah. Her husband. Actually married then, I guess...
I used to do security for clowns like these, when I was working in Iraq.
We would take the State Dept liberals where they had to go, to meet with who they had to meet, to give away our money.
They hated us guys with guns and kit and driving suburbans.
They said that we were the reason the Iraqi people hated the USA.
They were all given the ability to sign out a GSA vehicle and drive themselves. Did they ever? NOPE.
They loved being surrounded by all of us. Loved having the doors opened and closed for them. Loved racing through traffic and walking around like the President.
Hypocritical clowns. Every single one of them
That’s why I call them privileged perfumed satraps............
The ruling elite lives high off the hog, off our money, and doesn’t think it needs to follow the rules it made for us.
It actually confounds the Constitution.
One is always a citizen of the US.
A citizen can be a resident of one or more States.
the 14th confounds US citizenship with State citizenship.
The 14th should be found to be UnConstitutional and struck as an Amendment, regardless of the result of the process.
Typical low class entitled Dems. They only do the right thing if somebody is watching.
*****************
It actually has to be more than someone just watching.
There must be cameras and a staged play with a committee-approved script for them to follow. And then, it’s just pretending to do the right thing and say the right words so the usual idiot sheep can go back to contented grazing before the slaughter.
I thought his name was Jack.
Sorry... I couldn’t resist
Amen! Especially Hannity.
Exactly
