      > In a statement to NBC News, Kerstin Emhoff called Vance’s attacks “baseless,” adding: **“For over 10 years, since Cole and Ella were teenagers, Kamala has been a co-parent with Doug and I. She is loving, nurturing, fiercely protective, and always present. I love our blended family and am grateful to have her in it.”**

      There are so many different types of families out there, one shoud know that.

      I love this response. I have step-parents and would not be who I am without their love and support. It takes a special person to be a step-parent.

      >Ella Emhoff, 25, posted a screenshot on her Instagram story in support of her mother’s statement, adding, “How can you be ‘childless’ when you have cutie pie kids like Cole and I?”
      At the bottom of the image, Ella Emhoff wrote, “I love my three parents.”

      As someone who grew up with a stepmother who is a truly horrible person and the reason that I haven’t spoken to my dad in almost a decade, this made me a little emotional. I’m so happy for everyone who gets to live in a loving patchwork family and I love that they are all publicly talking about this.

      > Doug Emhoff's daughter and ex-wife criticized Ohio GOP Sen. JD Vance after comments he once made referring to Vice President Kamala Harris as childless re-emerged.

      > During a 2021 interview with Tucker Carlson on Fox News, Vance – now former President Donald Trump's running mate – said Harris was one of the "Childless cat ladies" who "Want to make the rest of the country miserable too." Vance added, "If you look at Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, , the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children.”

      This shouldn’t even have to be a thing. Stepparents are parents. Sure, there are ones who suck, but there are plenty of birth parents who suck at their job, too. It really burns my buns that there is a statistically significant portion of the population of this country that thinks the only family is one comprised of a AFAB/AMAB couple with children born from PIV sex. Oh, and adopted kids, as long as they are stolen from developing nations and have no recourse if they’re being abused or used as slave labor.

      This Christofascist bullshit that discounts any family structure other than the “traditional” family makes me bone tired.

      I feel like I want to point the last time I heard the woman being childless as a point against her argument being used. That woman did become leader of the country.

      But that woman was Theresa May (and yes it was from within her own party), so I don’t think want to compare Kamala to her.

      I would bet money that Kamala is more involved and loving parent to her step kids than Donald Trump is to his biological children.
