LIV Golf star Anthony Kim unleashed a bizarre homophobic response to a social media campaign video from Vice President Kamala Harris‘ husband Doug Emhoff.
Joined by his daughter, Emma, as well as Bravo’s Andy Cohen and comedian-director Ben Stiller for a brief discussion about ‘being a girl dad,’ the Second Gentleman described raising a woman as a ‘gift’ and urged women to vote for Harris next month.
In response, Kim unleashed crude, homophobic accusations at the men in the video, claiming ‘at least 2 dudes here’ are homosexuals. He went on to make a vulgar description of gay sex. (Stiller and, obviously, Emhoff are both married to women while Cohen came out of the closet in the late 1980s)
Kim then referenced allegations that Emhoff slapped his ex-girlfriend in 2012, claiming it ‘prob didn’t hurt,’ before promoting Donald Trump‘s candidacy for the Oval Office: ‘#trump2024.’
Trump has hosted a number of LIV Golf events at his company’s courses.

Many respondents supported Kim’s anti-gay post.
‘I love the new AK speak the truth kid,’ read one of the tamer responses.
Many others were upset by Kim’s description of anal sex.
‘Delete your account… again,’ another added.
This is not Kim’s first bizarre outburst of 2024.
In July, he used a baffling analogy about getting high on crack cocaine as part of a ‘motivational’ message on social media.
The 39-year-old recently returned to professional golf, joining LIV Golf after more than a decade away.
Kim recently opened up on his time away from the sport, revealing he had multiple surgeries, battled addiction and was taken advantage of by ‘scam artists’.
He has now returned from the wilderness to join the Saudi-funded breakaway. Kim is active on social media, too, and on Wednesday the American posted a message about self-improvement.
‘Good morning. Does a crackhead ever let a day go by (without) finding a way to get high?’ Kim asked his 15,000 followers.
‘NO. I would know’, he added with a wink-face emoji. ‘(I’m) not gonna let a crakhead (sic) outwork me today. 1% better today lessssgoo!!!’

Kim then tagged a sponsor and included the hashtags ‘#girldad #gratitude #mental health’.
The American has struggled since his return to professional golf in March. In the six LIV events he has completed, Kim has a highest finish of 46th. He has shot under par only four times in that time.
Many golf fans were left baffled by his message – ‘A little weird no?’ one wrote. But others saw the funny side. ‘Elite morning motivation courtesy of AK,’ one supporter said.
‘You’re a breath of fresh air when Golf needs it most! You’re not hiding from your past but learning from it,’ another wrote.
