Prominent conservative women are opposing billionaire and Harris campaign surrogate Mark Cuban for arguing that former President Trump would never surround himself with “strong, intelligent women.”

“@mcuban, I have been the CEO and owner of a professional sports team JUST like you,” former Sen. Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga., said Thursday in response to Cuban on of strong people, Conservative women who support Trump. You might think we’re stupid or we’re trash. 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” Thursday morning.

“Donald Trump, you never see him with strong, intelligent women. Ever,” Cuban said. “It’s that simple. They intimidate him. He doesn’t like being challenged by them.”

The comments were quickly condemned by the Trump campaign, with the campaign’s national press secretary Karoline Leavitt calling the comment “insulting.”

“This is extremely insulting to the thousands of women who work for President Trump and to the tens of millions of women who vote for him,” Leavitt said. “These women are mothers, entrepreneurs and industry leaders, and they are indeed strong and smart, despite what Mark Cuban and Kamala Harris say.”

In an article on X, Cuban said he was explaining why Nikki Haley was not active in Trump’s campaign.

“Donald Trump
you never see it with strong, intelligent women. Never. It’s that simple,” he wrote. “They are intimidating him. He doesn’t like being challenged by them and, you know, Nikki Haley will criticize him for his nonsense regarding reproductive rights and the way he views, treats and talks about women. I mean, he just can’t have him around. That wouldn’t work.

However, Cuban later appeared to walk back some of his comments:

“I’m happy to clarify this: 1. I know many strong, intelligent women who are voting for Trump. Including in my extended family,” he added. “I’m certainly not saying that women voters aren’t smart, strong and intelligent. 2. I know he has worked with some very intelligent women, like Elaine Chao, Kelly Anne, Ivanka and many others. I stand by my opinion that he doesn’t like to be challenged publicly.

Speaking to Fox News Digital, Leavitt added that “the joy at Kamala’s headquarters has been replaced by division, vitriol and a disturbing level of disrespect toward the millions of Americans who support President Trump after four years of destruction under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 express their frustrations with the billionaire’s remarks.
