Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) took issue with billionaire Mark Cuban’s recent comments about former President Donald Trump and his lack of “strong, intelligent women” supporters. Responding to Cuban’s remarks on The View, Greene posted a video on social media, showcasing her fitness abilities and listing her credentials in an effort to counter his claims.
“Now Mark Cuban has come out and said that there are no strong, intelligent women supporting Trump,” Greene stated in her post. In an attempt to turn the tables on Cuban, she remarked, “Here’s the problem with Mark Cuban. He suffers from low testosterone. The guy looks just like Rachel Maddow.” Her quip alluded to Cuban’s physique and, in her view, a perceived intimidation of conservative women like herself.
Greene went on to highlight her achievements as evidence of her strength and intelligence, attributes she believes challenge Cuban’s portrayal. “I run a very successful construction company in Georgia, and now I’m going on my third term in Congress,” she said, underscoring her business acumen and political success. Greene also referenced her strong support for gun rights, stating, “I love guns, especially AR-15s, and I support President Trump,” further aligning her views with conservative values and Trump’s base, told ABC News.
In closing, Greene issued a parting shot, advising Cuban to “get hormone replacement therapy,” a treatment typically used for conditions such as menopause, suggesting she sees his remarks as a reflection of personal insecurity. Her response underlined her perspective that conservative women can be both assertive and successful, despite stereotypes she feels Cuban implied.
Cuban’s comments have stirred significant debate, with Greene’s response encapsulating a broader tension between conservative women and high-profile critics. For Greene, her fitness and accomplishments stand as a rebuttal to perceptions that women who support Trump lack strength or intelligence. In a media landscape where image and perception play a critical role, Greene’s response reflects her commitment to challenging narratives she finds disparaging, particularly those that question her political convictions and personal capabilities.
