Doug Emhoff says he’s ‘gutted’ after the hostage killings in Gaza

WASHINGTON (AP) — Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, says he is “gutted” after the killings of American Hersh Goldberg-Polin and five other Israeli hostages taken by Hamas. Emhoff is the first Jewish person married to a nationally elected U.S. leader. Speaking Tuesday at a vigil for the hostages at his synagogue in Washington, Emhoff said, “I haven’t been able to stop thinking about Hersh and his parents, or about the five others and their families.” He added: “This is hard. I feel raw. I’m gutted.”
