Former Governor Christine Todd Whitman (R-NJ) told CNN anchor Jim Acosta that former president Donald Trump’s new rant about women made her want to ‘slap him in the face!’
Trump has drawn attention to his now regular proclamations he will be a “protector” for women – largely negative. At a rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Wednesday evening, Trump referred to those responses in a tirade with the line “Well, I’m going to do it whether the women like it or not.”
On Thursday edition by CNN Newsroom with Jim AcostaWhitman denounced Trump, saying those comments caused her to clench her fists and have violent urges:
JIM ACOSTA: Harris at 19 points. She leads Donald Trump among women. That’s where Biden opposed the president at the time in 2020. Your opinion, Governor Whitman?
GOV. CHRISTINE TODD WHITMAN: Well, honestly, that comment from him, “whether they like it or not,” is just infuriating! And I think there are a lot of women who are still a bit hesitant. For the women who are in doubt, for whom this will be extremely offensive and will affect the mood.
And I don’t know why we’re still talking about the bullshit of Joe Biden saying that when Donald Trump was denigrating people, men, women and minorities.
They call them trash, call them vermin, you know, poisoning our blood. We need to stop talking about the things he is talking about and saying, look at the things he has done and how his language is affecting the way we view this election, and undermining public confidence in the electoral system . It’s all part of this package.
And I agree that his base loves this, but to me there are still a surprising number of people who haven’t quite made up their minds yet. And they’re comments like he’s going to take care of women whether they like it or not.
That just makes you clench your fists. It makes me clench my fist. I want to punch him in the face!
He doesn’t take care of me or my body!
