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 “smack him across the face!”
The previous night, Trump described himself during a rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin as a “protector” of women who would defend them “whether the women like it or not” if he regains the White House this November.
On Thursday’s edition of CNN Newsroom With Jim Acosta, Whitman blasted Trump and said those remarks made her ball up her fists and get violent urges:
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?
GOV. CHRISTINE TODD WHITMAN: Well, frankly, that comment of his, “whether they like it or not,” 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.
And I don’t know why we’re still talking about the trash thing of the fact that Joe Biden mentioned that when Donald Trump has been denigrating people, men, women, minorities.
They’re calling them trash, calling them vermin, you know, poisoning our blood. We have to stop talking about the things he’s talking about and say, look at the things that he’s done and how his language is affecting the way we look at this election, the undermining of the public’s confidence in the electoral system. It’s all part of this package.
And I do agree that his base loves this, but there are still amazing to me number of people who haven’t quite made up their mind. And it’s 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 wanna smack him across the face!
He’s not taking care of me or my body!
OMG really? HOW LONG HAS CHRISTINE WHITMAN, been out of office? Was Gov until 2001. That’s almost 24 years ago.
NO ONE CARES. I lived in NJ when she was Gov. NO ONE CARES in 2025
I’d LOVE to smack Whitman across the face for being a murderer/ She wants to break the law? IF the abortion passes on the tickets, then it is open season to abort Kamala.
Who thinks her opinion is worth more than a puddle of snot?
Not me. This RINO is jealous that she can’t do what Trump has done. This beotch fired the NJ State Police Commander, for asking a question truthfully. The Chief was asked about the ethnic breakdown of drug-runners caught on the NJ Turnpike. He answered that they see mostly Hispanic and Black traffickers and lost his job. What a loser!!!
