Mark Cuban, a supporter of Vice President Kamala Harris, is excoriated by the Trump campaign after he said the former president was never surrounded by “strong, intelligent women.”

The comments were made during Thursday’s episode of ABC The view after former Trump adviser Alyssa Farah Griffin asked Cuban for his opinion on former President Donald Trump’s failure to ask former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley to help him reach female voters.

“I mean…it’s going to drive her (Harris) crazy with the Nikki Haley fans,” Cuban said. “Donald Trump, you never see him around strong, intelligent women. Never. It’s that simple. You’re intimidating to him. He doesn’t like to be challenged by them.”

Cuban added that Haley, who was Washington’s ambassador to the United Nations under Trump, would challenge Trump “on his nonsense about reproductive rights and how he sees, treats and talks about women.”

Kayleigh McEnany, Trump’s former White House press secretary, found Cuba’s statement “deeply offensive.”

“I worked for Donald Trump,” McEnany said during an appearance on Fox News. “I consider myself a strong woman. I consider the people around me to be strong women.”
