Former Governor\u00a0Christine Todd Whitman\u00a0(R-NJ) told CNN anchor\u00a0Jim Acosta\u00a0that former President\u00a0Donald Trump\u2019s\u00a0new rant about women made her want to \u201csmack him across the face!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The previous night, Trump described himself during a rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin as a \u201cprotector\u201d of women who would defend them \u201cwhether the women like it or not\u201d if he regains the White House this November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Thursday\u2019s edition<\/a> of CNN Newsroom With Jim Acosta<\/em><\/a>, Whitman blasted Trump and said those remarks made her ball up her fists and get violent urges:<\/p>\n\n\n\n JIM ACOSTA: Harris at 19 points. She is leading Donald Trump among women. That is above where Biden was against the president at that time in 2020. Your thoughts, Governor Whitman?<\/p>\n\n\n\n GOV. CHRISTINE TODD WHITMAN: Well, frankly, that comment of his, \u201cwhether they like it or not,\u201d is just infuriating! And I think there are a lot of women who are still somewhat hesitant. Those women who are on the fence to whom that will be extremely offensive, and it will sway the vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And I don\u2019t know why we\u2019re still talking about the trash thing of the fact that Joe Biden mentioned that when Donald Trump has been denigrating people, men, women, minorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They\u2019re calling them trash, calling them vermin, you know, poisoning our blood. We have to stop talking about the things he\u2019s talking about and say, look at the things that he\u2019s done and how his language is affecting the way we look at this election, the undermining of the public\u2019s confidence in the electoral system. It\u2019s all part of this package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And I do agree that his base loves this, but there are still amazing to me number of people who haven\u2019t quite made up their mind. And it\u2019s comments like he\u2019s going to take care of women whether they like it or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That just makes you clench your fists. It makes me<\/em> clench my fist. I wanna smack him across the face!<\/p>\n\n\n\n He\u2019s not taking care of me or my body!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n
