Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer called former President Donald Trump “just deranged.” During an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union,” on Sunday, Whitmer criticised Trump’s recent comments that women wouldn’t be thinking about abortion if he’s re-elected.
Trump made the statement at a rally on Saturday, saying that women would be “happy, healthy, confident, and free” because abortion would no longer be a concern, as the issue has been returned to the states.
She said Trump doesn’t understand the problems women face every day and called his comments ‘ludicrous.’
“I think, you know, this guy just doesn’t understand what the average woman is confronting in her life in this country, and how could he? He’s not lived a normal life,” Whitmer said.
“Unlike Kamala Harris, who has worked hourly jobs, who knows how important it is that women have health care and access to the medical care that they need. He’s just deranged,” she added.
Trump’s comments at the rally mirrored a similar statement he posted on Truth Social the previous Friday.
“WOMEN ARE POORER THAN THEY WERE FOUR YEARS AGO, ARE LESS HEALTHY THAN THEY WERE FOUR YEARS AGO… AND ARE LESS OPTIMISTIC AND CONFIDENT IN THE FUTURE THAN THEY WERE FOUR YEARS AGO!” Trump wrote Friday.
Trump’s comments came after Harris delivered a speech in Georgia focused on abortion, where she criticized the impact of Republican policies and abortion bans on women’s lives, placing blame on Trump and the GOP.
In response to Whitmer’s criticism, Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung accused Democrats of “hateful rhetoric” and linked their language to two alleged assassination attempts on Trump.
Cheung demanded that Harris and other Democrats apologize, accusing them of inciting violence through their rhetoric and perpetuating a divisive political climate.
