Mark Cuban's Apology is Medicine after Death
Billionaire Mark Cuban apologized on X early Friday morning if female Trump supporters felt "slighted or upset" when he claimed "you never see [Trump] around strong, intelligent women, ever" during an appearance on "The View."
"When I said this during the interview, I didn't get it out exactly the way I thought I did. So I apologize to anyone who felt slighted or upset by my response. As I said, it wasn't about Trump voters, supporters or employees. Current or former," Cuban wrote.
He said he set himself up "for the 6 sec soundbite," offered "no excuses" and said his "skin is thick enough."
Hours before issuing the flat-out apology, Cuban tried to "clarify" his comment that was seen widely as an insult to women who support and/or work with Trump.
"This is what I said during a conversation about why Nikki Haley was not active in his campaign. I know many strong, intelligent women voting for Trump, including in my extended family. I’m certainly not saying female voters are not smart, strong and intelligent. I know he has worked with strong, intelligent women, like Elaine Chao, Kelly Anne, Ivanka and many others," Cuban added. "I stand by my opinion that he does not like being challenged publicly."
