Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may have found his number one “useful idiot.”
Ella Emhoff, Vice President Harris’ Hamas-curious daughter-in-law, eagerly threw herself into the presidential race this week, posting aggressive messages on social media to her 330,000 followers.
“You already know what time it is,” Emhoff, a 25-year-old model, said Wednesday, sharing a photo of herself with her mouth agape and a link to a voter registration website. “This is not the time to rest on your laurels and postpone your responsibilities. It’s up to 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 lashed out at critics who pointed out that Harris had no biological children.
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 not have children when you have adorable children like Cole and I? I love all three of my parents.”
Both posts were Instagram Stories, which are automatically deleted after 24 hours.
Ella Emhoff also called her stepmother a “kid” – a reference to British singer Charli XCX’s latest album of the same name.
The term refers to any girl “who’s a little messy, likes to party and sometimes talks nonsense,” the singer said. The viral phrase, popular with Gen Z, is meant as a compliment.
Emhoff has mostly kept his social media powder dry during President Biden’s tenure as the Democratic nominee.
When she made political statements, her advocacy focused primarily on Israel’s war in Gaza.
Her father, Doug Emhoff, is Jewish, but his daughter has made it clear that she does not consider herself Jewish.
What you need to know about President Biden’s decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race:
In March, Ella Emhoff posted a link on her Instagram account calling for donations to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). The organization has close ties to terrorism, and the Biden administration cut funding to the program in January after receiving evidence of its complicity in the October 7 Hamas terror attack in Israel.
Emhoff has also raised money for “emergency aid for the children of Gaza” – funds that her critics fear could fall into the hands of terrorists. The alleged first daughter-in-law remains “an active presence in pro-Palestinian circles,” according to the New Republic.
Vice President Harris declined to attend Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to Congress on Wednesday.
“It’s no surprise that Ella is getting involved in her mother-in-law’s presidential campaign. She’s pro-Hamas, as is Kamala,” said Garrett Ventry, a Republican strategist.
When she’s not in politics, Emhoff works as a fashion-forward model, even making topless appearances at New York Fashion Week in 2022.
