The Trump campaign is blasting billionnaire Mark Cuban, a top surrogate for Vice President Kamala Harris, for “extremely insulting” comments against women who support former President Trump, demanding the vice president “immediately condemn” his remarks.
Cuban appeared on ABC’s “The View” on Thursday morning when he made the comments.
“Donald Trump, you never see him around strong, intelligent women. Ever,” Cuban said. “It’s just that simple. They’re intimidating to him. He doesn’t like to be challenged by them.”
Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt slammed Cuban’s comments.
“Joe Biden called Trump supporters ‘garbage,’ and now Kamala’s top surrogate Mark Cuban insinuated female Trump supporters are ‘weak and dumb,’” Leavitt told Fox News Digital.
“This is extremely insulting to the thousands of women who work for President Trump, and the tens of millions of women who are voting for him,” Leavitt said. “These women are mothers, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders, and they are, indeed, strong and intelligent, despite what Mark Cuban and Kamala Harris say.”
Leavitt told Fox News Digital that the “joy at Kamala HQ has been replaced by division, vitriol, and a disturbing level of disrespect for the millions of Americans who are supporting President Trump after four years of destruction under Kamala Harris.”
“Women want a president who will secure our border, remove violent criminals from our neighborhoods, and put more money in our pockets — and that’s exactly why we are supporting President Trump,” Leavitt said. “Kamala Harris must immediately condemn Mark Cuban’s disrespectful insult to women.”
The Harris campaign did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
The comment comes just days after President Biden apparently referred to Trump supporters as “garbage.”
