‘Move Over, Ryan Gosling’: WaPo Gushes Over ‘Sex Symbol’ Doug Emhoff

The Washington Post published an opinion column last week gushing over Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, calling him a “modern-day sex symbol.” 

In recent days, Emhoff has been lauded by left-wing media as a new-and-improved modern man who doesn’t appeal to high-testosterone men. WaPo opinion columnist Catherine Rampell echoed the same in her piece: “Doug Emhoff, modern-day sex symbol.” 

Rampell explains that Emhoff is dreamy, even topping actor Ryan Gosling, because he is “secure enough with his own masculinity to sometimes prioritize his wife’s ambitions over his own.”

“Move over, Ryan Gosling. The modern female fantasy is embodied by the man who might soon become our first First Gentleman,” the piece reads. “Emhoff appears to be a genuine mensch with an impressive career. He’s smitten with his wife and supports her ambitions, as is obvious from his convention speech and their sweet interactions on the campaign trail. But most important for this sexy sobriquet: Emhoff is secure enough with his own masculinity to sometimes prioritize his wife’s ambitions over his own.”

“What. A. Hunk,” Rampell emphasizes the point.

The columnist even excuses Emhoff’s scandalous romantic past with a throwaway line, writing, “Whatever his previous marital drama, [Emhoff is] the working woman’s ideal partner.”

Emhoff has admitted to having an affair during his first marriage. He had relations with a teacher at his children’s school and the teacher became pregnant. It’s unclear if the woman miscarried the child or had the baby killed via an abortion, though two unnamed sources told CBS News that she miscarried.

As highlighted by The Daily Wire, CNN anchor Dana Bash argued that the Democratic Party was appealing to men who were not “testosterone-laden,” contending Emhoff — and Harris VP-pick Tim Walz — can speak to those kinds of men.

The Democrats are “trying to put forward male figures, Tim Walz being one of them, Doug Emhoff, last night, who can speak to men, out there, who might not be the sort of testosterone-laden gun-toting kind of guy, who wants to listen to Hulk Hogan, and the kind of players that came out at the RNC, or might want to listen to that,” Bash said.

“But also, in addition, understand that it’s okay, in 2024, to be a man, comfortable in his own skin, who supports a woman,” she continued. “And that’s something that they really are trying to work on, with male voters, beyond the base.”
