Chris Christie blasts Mark Cuban’s remarks about female Trump supporters: He ‘doesn’t think before he talks’
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) criticized billionaire Mark Cuban for his comments about former President Trump not wanting to be “challenged” by women.
“Cuban has a history of saying really stupid stuff. Mark doesn’t think before he talks," Christie said during a Friday appearance on ABC's "The View."
In response to his statement, co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin pushed back on Christie’s comments, mentioning Cuban’s apology for the remarks. But the Republican hammered down on his thoughts, re-affirming the importance of surrogate’s messages as a reflection of the candidate they represent.
“People listen to what you say and he — you got to be careful in the last few days of a presidential race if you’re speaking on behalf of a candidate, be careful," Christie stated.
Republican leaders like Trump adviser Susie Wells and New York Rep. Elise Stefanik (R) have urged Harris to condemn Cuban’s remarks, labeling the comments as “disgraceful.”
But Christie noted that Cuban’s words might not have a detrimental impact on voters as they continue to hear each candidate’s closing arguments.
“In the end, I don’t think it has any great effect. I think the real effect is what the vice president said at the Ellipse as you referred to. I thought that was her best speech of the campaign,” he said.
Christie also critiqued Trumps' recent appearance with Tucker Carlson in Arizona where he said Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) should have “guns trained at her face” while contesting her foreign policy.
“When they see Donald Trump, one, sitting across from Tucker Carlson that doesn’t make a lot of people feel incredibly warm and, secondly, when he says that kind of stuff about Liz Cheney, that I think has much more of an impact on voters than whatever Mark Cuban might say or even the president at this point who should probably keep quiet for the next few weeks,” he said.
