Two Republican pundits told Newsmax that President Donald Trump was making a mistake by launching seemingly sexist attacks on MAGA Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and female journalists.
During a Monday panel, Republican strategist Melik Abdul said he wished Trump would stop insulting women after he called Greene a “dumb person” and attacked a CNN reporter as “nasty.”
“Donald Trump is going back down the road of attacking Marjorie Taylor Greene,” he told Newsmax host Shaun Kraisman. “And I just wish that Donald Trump would spend more time talking about the people who actually support him. He can have issues with Marjorie Taylor Greene, but I noticed that Donald Trump didn’t have the same language about Elon Musk, who really is a person who suggested that Donald Trump is a pedophile.”
“He campaigned against Donald Trump’s agenda,” he continued. “And at the end of the day, this is somebody who has been supportive of Donald Trump. I just wish Donald Trump would stop all of the name-calling because it’s unnecessary… I just wish he would stop.”
Former Delaware Trump State Chair Rob Arlett agreed that Trump should stop insulting people.
“Other than, I think it’s silly middle-school optics, to be honest, it does not help the Republican movement,” Arlett said. “It does not help the MAGA movement. And certainly does not really help the American people.”
