Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump thanked the husbands of some of his supporters for allowing the women to come to his rallies.
Speaking at a rally in Johnstown, Pennsylvania Friday, Trump mentioned a group of women in attendance from North Carolina who he said had been at more than 220 of his rallies.
“Somebody said ‘women don’t like Donald Trump.’ I said, ‘I think that’s wrong. I think they love me. I love them,'” he said to a crowd of cheers. According to a recent ABC News/Ipsos poll, opponent Democratic Presidential nominee Kamala Harris leads Trump by 13 percentage points among women.
“Their husbands are great, but they allow them to go all over the country, they follow me all over the country,” he said of the women at the Johnstown rally. “I spoke to the husbands one time, I say ‘how do you put up with this? …Your wives are traveling all over the place.”
He also called the group “beautiful” and “always perfectly coiffed,” praising them for being wealthy.
Donald Trump promises a great administration for women amid abortion, IVF stance scramble
“My Administration will be great for women and their reproductive rights,” Trump wrote in a recent Truth Social post.
Leading up to the 2016, the Trump campaign was in hot water with some women, especially after the “Access Hollywood” tape surfaced his comments about inappropriately grabbing women by their genitals.
Since then, he has been found liable by a jury for sexual abusing writer E. Jean Carroll and bragged about appointing the U.S. Supreme Court justices who helped to overturn the abortion-protecting decision Roe v Wade.
Trump has apaprently waffled on his stance on abortion, especially when it comes to how he would vote for Florida’s own ballot measure to make the procedure legal up until viability (currently a six-week ban is in place.).
The Harris campaign has repeatedly bashed Trump’s record on reproductive rights and vowed to sign a law protecting the right an abortion.
