(Jewish Group) Emotional Doug Emhoff shows up for Jewish Democrats at DNC

Doug Emhoff was verklempt. It had been less than 48 hours since his goofy, warm and well-received speech at the Democratic National Convention, and he was in a room full of Jewish Democrats cheering for him to become “First Mensch.”

His wife, Vice President Kamala Harris, was soon to accept the party’s presidential nomination and it was their anniversary — 10 years since they’d “shattered a glass at their wedding,” pointed out Halie Soifer, CEO of the Jewish Democratic Council of America, which she called “a good foreshadowing of the glass ceiling that we’re all going to help her shatter in 73 days.”

The room was full, and Emhoff was full of emotion. “I think I know most of you,” he said. “I could go around and say ‘Hi’ to literally every single one of you.”

The event Thursday afternoon on the sixth floor of the Jewish Federation building in downtown Chicago was supposed to be a serious panel discussion of antisemitism on campus followed by a briefing by the families of Israeli hostages still held by Hamas. But when Emhoff decided to stop by — his first hobnobbing with the hoi polloi during this week’s convention — it took on the air of a bar mitzvah, complete with a mini-smorgasbord of ceviche shooters, brisket tostada bites and tahini chicken skewers.

At least this one didn't get invaded by shrieking assholes like the Agudah event.
