CNN pundit Scott Jennings was shockingly shut down when he tried to bring up DailyMail.com’s exclusive story about Doug Emhoff assaulting his ex-girlfriend, as well as his behavior at his law firm.
The Second Gentleman, 59, is said to have punched the woman so hard in the face that she turned away as she waited in a valet queue late at night after an event at the Cannes Film Festival in France in May 2012.
One of her friends told DailyMail.com that the woman called him immediately after the incident, sobbing in her taxi, and described the alleged assault.
Jennings, a conservative counterpart to the often liberal-charged CNN panels, tried to discuss the story earlier Wednesday when he pointed out that rapper Eminem — who has long been accused of misogyny in his lyrics — endorsed Harris.
“So when you think about things [Eminem] has said to sell those records, and you’re also thinking about some of the questions swirling around Harris’ own husband in this regard,” Jennings said, before liberal Bakari Sellers interrupted.

Jane declined to comment.
The shocking claims follow revelations from DailyMail.com that Emhoff cheated on his first wife and mother of his two children around 2008, allegedly impregnating his daughter’s nanny, who also worked as a primary school teacher.
Emhoff admitted to the affair with the babysitter and teacher, Najen Naylor, after DailyMail.com published the story last month.
All three of Jane’s friends said she also told them about a disturbing alleged incident during her relationship with the Second Gentleman, in which Emhoff casually admitted to getting Naylor pregnant.
Emhoff told Jane that the nanny accused him of causing her to miscarry, the friends alleged.
According to the friends, Emhoff did not say how he could be responsible for the miscarriage, and told Jane that the nanny’s claims were false.
But the Second Gentleman admitted to Jane that he had paid Naylor a settlement of approximately $80,000 and had the nanny sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA).
Emhoff was previously called a “lady’s man” and a “mensch” by Democrats, a Yiddish term for an honorable, kind man. He has also spoken out in media interviews about being an ally of women and against toxic masculinity.
