Mark Cuban's Backpedaling on His Remarks Trashing Female Trump Supporters Made This Fiasco Worse

 

Mark Cuban might want to stick to his investments, tech companies, and the Dallas Mavericks because politics isn’t going well for him. Cuban is an ardent Kamala Harris supporter despite being opposed to most of her core agenda items, like the taxation of capital gains and eliminating the legislative filibuster.

On "The View" this week, Cuban trashed women voters supporting the former president, saying that no strong, intelligent, and independent women support Trump. It was a faceplant that again caused a communications crisis for Democrats days before Election Day and buoyed the narrative that liberals think half the country is garbage. Joe Biden hurled that hand grenade into the tent as Kamala was having her rally in DC, calling Trump supporters trash. Whatever media coverage Kamala wanted in the final days has been cannibalized by Biden. 

So, what does Mr. Cuban do? He tried to clarify his remarks, but instead made this public relations nightmare worse. 

Let’s clarify something.   This is what I said during a conversation about why Nikki Haley was not active in his campaign 

“Donald Trump, you never see him around strong, intelligent women. Ever. It’s just that simple. 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.” 

I’m happy to clarify that

1.  I know many strong, intelligent women voting for Trump. Including in my extended family. 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. 

Wait, did Cuban try to gaslight us just then? Is he trying to pull a NYT/CNN/Politico here because we have you on video, Mark:

Take the 'L,' Mr. Cuban.
