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, like you, have been a CEO and owner of a professional sports team,” former Sen. Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga., said Thursday in response to Cuban on X. “I am one of the millions of strong, conservative women who support Trump You might think we’re stupid, or 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 comments on ABC’s “The View” Thursday morning.

“Donald Trump, you never see him around strong, intelligent women. Never,” Cuban said. ‘It’s that simple. They are intimidating to him. He doesn’t like to be challenged by them.’

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

“This is deeply insulting to the thousands of women who work for President Trump, and the tens of millions of women who voted 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.”

“Donald Trump, you never see him around strong, intelligent women. Ever. It’s 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 out on his bullshit about reproductive rights and how he sees, treats and talks about women. I mean, he just can’t have her around. That wouldn’t work.’

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

“I’m happy to clarify: 1. I know many strong, intelligent women who voted for Trump. Also 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 strong, intelligent women like Elaine Chao, Kelly Anne, Ivanka and many others. I maintain my opinion that he does not 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Speaking to Fox News Digital, Leavitt added that “the joy at Kamala’s headquarters has been replaced by division, vitriol and a disturbing level of disrespect for the millions of Americans who support President Trump after four years of destruction under Kamala Harris .”

Loeffler and Leavitt weren’t the only conservative women to respond to Cuban, however, as many others turned to X to express their frustrations with the billionaire’s comments.
