Here's an excerpt of the interview:

RITA BRAVER: What’s your response when people are critical of your wife, because of course, they are?

DOUG EMHOFF: I’m her husband, nobody wants to see anyone they love criticized or attacked, but that said, she’s vice president of the United States … So all this comes with the territory. She’s the toughest person out there.

BRAVER: She’s tough?

EMHOFF: She’s so tough … it just bounces right off her.
