Backlash from Donald Trump forces billionaire Mark Cuban to issue apology after 'weak & dumb' remarks: "Can't nail every interview"
Throughout the buildup to the 2024 presidential election, Mark Cuban has given countless interviews to talk about the major issues. Following some choice comments and a response from one of the candidates, the NBA owner issued an apology on social media.
Cuban always supported Kamala Harris, so he took a jab at former President Donald Trump as the campaign progressed. During a recent interview, Cuban said:
"Donald Trump, you never see him around strong, intelligent women. It's just that simple, they're intimidating to him."
After Cuban's comments, Trump tweeted about the Dallas Mavericks owner on X (formerly Twitter).
Following Trump's response, Cuban apologized for his comments on social media:
"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."
"No excuses. Can't nail every interview. My skin is thick enough."
While he might have apologized, Cuban remains firm on who he supports in the upcoming election.
Mark Cuban offers further clarification for his recent interview remarks
Mark Cuban's latest comments have resulted in a lot of backlash not only from Donald Trump but also from the female community. Aside from issuing a public apology, Cuban went further into what he meant when he made those remarks.
Cuban stood firm on his thoughts on Trump not liking to be challenged publicly. However, he did take back a lot of what he said about women. Cuban said he knows intelligent women, including his family members, will vote for Trump next week. He also named some important women who worked for the former president during his first term.
Cuban has done a fine job as a public supporter of Harris, with this situation being his only real hiccup. Seeing that he was willing to admit he was wrong and apologize, the backlash he receives for these remarks will likely be minimal.
Cuban has little time left to get his message across, as Americans will hit the polls to vote in just four days.
