Mark Cuban's comments come under heavy criticism from viral Trump supporter: 'Who in the world thinks I'm weak and stupid?'

Another prominent voice close to former President Trump expressed outrage over billionaire businessman Mark Cuban's offensive remark about women associated with Trump, joining the ranks of figures such as Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick and evangelist Dr. Alveda King and are similarly outraged.

“I immediately thought of myself, because who in the world thinks I'm weak and/or stupid for constantly being around Trump?” Michaelah Montgomery, a Georgia-based conservative activist, said Saturday on “One Nation with Brian Kilmeade”.

“And then all the other women who also live with me near President Trump – our Black Engagement Director Gina Barr, our Black Media Director Janiyah Thomas. One of his good friends for six years, Lynne Patton… there's a lot of amazing things.” Women I've met in person in the six months since I joined the campaign.

“I just can't believe that someone would go on the internet, on national television, and say these things when they obviously haven't met half of us here yet,” she continued.

Cuban drew criticism for suggesting on “The View” last Thursday that former President Trump was failing to surround himself with “strong, intelligent women” because they allegedly intimidated and challenged him.

He took to social media to clarify his comment last Thursday, posting the following on X:

“I know many strong, Smart women voting for Trumpalso in my extended family. I’m certainly not saying women voters aren’t smart, strong and intelligent.”

He added: “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 doesn’t like to be publicly challenged.”

Cuban also revealed early Friday that the remark didn't “come across exactly the way I did.” [he] “I thought it was,” and apologized to “anyone who was offended or upset by his response.”

“STRONG, CONSERVATIVE WOMEN” FIGHT BACK AGAINST MARK CUBAN’S INSULTS

Current and former female Trump aides criticized the “misogynistic” remark in a video put together by the former president's campaign featuring Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, House GOP Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik, former Domestic Policy Council director of the White House, Brooke Rollins, former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick, attorney Alina Habba, former ESPN anchor Sage Steele and others.

“Not only are you arrogant, you’re also misogynistic,” said Janiyah Thomas, Black media director for the Trump campaign.

“Are you demeaning women? President Trump doesn’t do that,” Habba said. “He surrounds himself with strong women like me.”

Montgomery has been an outspoken voice for Trump since she hugged him at a Chick-Fil-A in Atlanta in April and went viral. She then accused the mainstream media of downplaying black support for the Republican candidate.
