Conservative Women' Attack Mark Cuban for Insulting American Women
Prominent conservative women are pushing back against billionaire and Harris campaign surrogate Mark Cuban for arguing that former President Trump would never surround himself with "strong, intelligent women."
"@mcuban I’ve been a CEO and professional sports team owner JUST like you," former Sen. Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga., said Thursday in response to Cuban on X. "I’m one of the millions of strong, conservative women who back Trump. You might think we’re stupid, or that we’re garbage. We think it’s time to replace you and Kamala with leaders who don’t hate us."
Loeffler’s comments came in response to Cuban’s remarks on ABC’s "The View" on Thursday morning.
"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."
The remarks were quickly condemned by the Trump campaign, with campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt calling the comment "insulting."
"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."
In a post on X, Cuban said that he was speaking about why Nikki Haley was not active in Trump's campaign.
“Donald Trump , you never see him around strong, intelligent women. Ever. It’s just that simple,” he wrote. "They’re intimidating to him. He doesn’t like to be challenged by them and, you know, Nikki Haley will call him on his nonsense with reproductive rights and how he sees and treats and talks about women. I mean, he just can’t have her around. It wouldn’t work.”
However, Cuban later appeared to backtrack on some of his comments:
“I’m happy to clarify that 1. I know many strong, intelligent women voting for Trump. Including in my extended family,” he added. “I’m certainly not saying female voters are not smart, strong and intelligent. 2. I know he has worked with strong intelligent women, like Elaine Chao, Kelly Anne, Ivanka and many others. I stand by my opinion that he does not like being challenged publicly.”
Speaking to Fox News Digital, Leavitt added that "joy at Kamala HQ has been replaced by division, vitriol, and a disturbing level of disrespect for the millions of Americans who are supporting President Trump after four years of destruction under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."
However, Loeffler and Leavitt weren’t the only conservative women to respond to Cuban, with many others taking to X to voice their frustrations with the billionaire’s remarks
