Kamala Harris’ pro-Palestinian stepdaughter Ella Emhoff campaigns for step-mom after staying silent during Biden’s run
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may have found his No. 1 “useful idiot.”
Vice President Harris’ Hamas-curious stepdaughter Ella Emhoff jumped into the presidential race with gusto this week with aggressive social media posts to her 330,000 followers.
“You already know what time it is,” Emhoff, a 25-year-old model, said on Wednesday, sharing a slack-jawed image of herself and a voter registration link. “This is not the time to sit back and defer responsibility. This is on all of us to show up, take action and vote for our future. We can be the change we want to see.”
A day later she went after critics who noted Harris had no biological children.
Both Ella and her brother Cole Emhoff are the children of Harris’ husband Doug Emhoff and his first wife Kerstin.
Vice President Harris married Doug in 2014.
“How can you be childless when you have cutie pie kids like Cole and I,” she said. “I love my three parents.”
Both posts were Instagram stories, which automatically delete after 24 hours.
Ella Emhoff has also referred to her stepmother as “brat” — a reference to British singer Charli XCX’s newest album of the same name.
The term refers to any girl “who is a little messy and likes to party and maybe says some dumb things sometimes,” the singer said. The viral phrase, popular among Gen Z, is meant as a compliment.
Emhoff mostly kept her social media powder dry during President Biden’s time as the Democratic nominee.
When she did make political statements, her advocacy focused on Israel’s war in Gaza.
Her father, Doug Emhoff is Jewish, but his daughter has pointedly insisted she does not consider herself Jewish.
What to know about President Biden’s decision to drop out of the 2024 presidential race:
In March, Ella Emhoff posted a link to her Instagram calling for donations to the The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). The organization has deep ties to terrorism and the Biden administration cut off funding to the program in January after receiving evidence of their complicity in Hamas’ Oct. 7 terrorist attack in Israel.
Emhoff has also raised cash for “urgent relief for Gaza’s children” — which critics said would find its way into terrorist hands. The presumptive first stepdaughter remains “an active presence in pro-Palestinian circles,” according to the New Republic.
Vice President Harris refused to attend Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress Wednesday.
“It’s not surprising that Ella is engaging in her step-mom’s race for president. She is pro-Hamas just like Kamala,” sniffed GOP strategist Garrett Ventry.
When she’s not politicking, Emhoff works as an avant-garde model — even making boobs-out appearances at New York Fashion Week in 2022.
