Second gentleman Doug Emhoff on Thursday shared his feelings about Donald Trump’s regular personal attacks on his wife, Vice President Kamala Harris, as the White House race draws to a close.

“Well, as a husband, it pisses me off,” Emhoff told MSNBC’s “The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell.” “But as a first gentleman, you know, someone who hopes to be the first gentleman, married to the next president of the United States, we cannot be distracted by it.”

Emhoff said he has tuned out Trump’s insults as both he and the entire family are squarely focused on helping propel Harris to victory in next week’s election.
