As we reported earlier, it was Catherine Rampell who published a piece in the Washington Post calling second gentleman Doug Emhoff a "progressive sex symbol." This was after it was revealed he'd impregnated his and his first wife's nanny and presumably pressured her into an abortion. Considering progressives and their conflation of sex and abortion, the label probably fits.
According to USA Today, Emhoff is redefining while at the same time embodying masculinity by supporting his wife by getting her Doritos and making campaign stops on her behalf. Maybe this post is an example of his redefined masculinity:
In the three biggest moments of this campaign—stepping up to run, the convention, and the debate—Kamala has become the most badass version of herself.

Just as Joe Scarborough had insisted that Joe Biden had become the best version of himself before the CNN debate.

"Stepping up to run" good one.

“Stepping up to run”

Stepping up to run? 🤣
— The Constitutional Conservative (@TheCCShowcast) September 13, 2024
She was installed after not receiving a single vote.
Democrats are a threat to democracy.
Stepping up to run? You mean facilitating a coup of a sitting president?
— Adam Schiffylus (@GogginWalters) September 13, 2024
She didn't exactly "step up to run" — she was installed by the same party elites who forced Biden out of the race.

Zero votes.
— Doug Ross (@directorblue) September 13, 2024
Zero interviews.
Zero ability to do this job.
I miss anything?
Yes … she's a girl boss.
What about the biggest failures of her tenure? Immigration. Inflation. Wars all over the globe.
— Joel Schamber (@JoelSchamber) September 13, 2024
About inflation? She grew up a middle-class kid. That's what she's done about inflation.
And yet not a single bump from the convention, the tag team softball interview or the debate. A lot of polls have her losing ground. She's disingenuous and cringy. Sorry Doug.

Blink twice if you need a rescue, Doug

The nanny was way better

Still hasn’t received a single vote. 🤡

She's only the candidate because her old white boss couldn't say three words in sequential order.
— Shelnutt (@ttunlehs) September 14, 2024
And they had to doctor the FEC filing so she could use the money...
But yeah. "Chosen one" and stuff.
She betrayed and ousted the rightful candidate and she talks in platitudes never saying anything. That’s just bad, not “badass”

You cannot manufacture what Trump has. Sorry

Haven't you heard? That was staged just so they could get that photo.
She’s going to pass just like her passage of time.

Dumbest thing I ever heard coming from a supposedly educated person.
Harris sounded and acted drunk in all three.
— Les Aker (@Les_Aker) September 13, 2024
Snarky faces and word salad isn't badass. It's also not leadership.
What about when Harris served as a young prostituter? She was a pretty tough cop and border guard the way she tells it.
