Mark Cuban Faces Backlash for Comments on Trump

Mark Cuban, a surrogate for Vice President Kamala Harris, faced backlash after claiming on 'The View' that Donald Trump is never seen around 'strong, intelligent women,' suggesting that they intimidate him. His comments, made in the context of discussing Nikki Haley, were met with outrage from Trump supporters, who labeled them as disrespectful and elitist. The Trump campaign quickly condemned Cuban's remarks, asserting that they insult the thousands of women supporting Trump and highlighting their roles as mothers and entrepreneurs. Critics, including sports anchor Sage Steele, pointed out the divisive nature of Cuban's statements, questioning their implications for women who might hold differing political views. This incident follows similar controversial remarks made by President Biden, further intensifying the political discourse as the election approaches. Cuban's comments reflect a broader strategy by Democrats that critics argue undermines efforts to attract swing voters.
