Thank you, Doug Emhoff

Just saw on MSNBC that he chided Sarah Huckabee Sanders: "as if keeping women humble...is something we should strive for"

Yes, exactly, Mr. Emhoff. Thank you for putting into words why this is so offensive. If Sarah think politicians should be humble, why is she working for the ego on steroids and his mini-me? Oh, I get it, it's just the wimmins who have to be humble.

Said her kids kept her humble but Kamala Harris didn’t hav any kids so she wasn’t humble ( apparently that is very bad because she is not only a woman but a black woman).
Yeah, it was pretty nasty to say the least.

ICYMI, @DouglasEmhoff last night clapped back at the cruelty & ignorance of Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders' comment this week about parenting - and he was spot on.

All people should be humble enough to not let their egos get in the way of sensibility. However, if those sensibilities are getting trounced, everyone should have the courage to call out the unjustified verbiage.

Daily living on my mobile floating home for fourteen years has been a humbling experience. Gaia will humiliate anyone’s ego given enough time. Certainly you learn to respect your limits. I think that translates to respect for everyone while ashore….until they act in a way that negates that respect.
