Fox’s Stuart Varney Torches Trump for Calling Kamala Harris ‘Dumb’: ‘Women React to That Kind of Thing, And So They Should!’

Fox Business’s Stuart Varney torched Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump for calling Vice President — and presumptive Democratic nominee — Kamala Harris “dumb,” characterizing it as a “profound mistake” during an interview with Rep. Burgess Owens (R-UT) on Monday.

In a Truth Social post last week, Trump called Harris “dumb as a rock,” an insult Varney objected to.

“This is anecdotal, but I’ve been hearing a lot from women. They are not happy with what Trump has been saying and some of the language that he’s using about Kamala Harris, it’s insulting,” observed Varney before asking Owens “Should he [Trump] tone down his language?”

The congressman tried to bring the conversation back to the border crisis, but Varney was having none of it.

“But hold on a second, congressman,” he interjected. “I’ve been out and about over the weekend. And when Donald Trump called Kamala Harris ‘dumb,’ that was a profound mistake, in my opinion. Women react to that kind of thing, and so they should! I mean, don’t you think you should tone down the language?”

“I know, okay, get through to the central message by all means. But tone the language down,” he added. “He said he was going to be nice, and then he says, I’m not going to be nice. I think that’s a mistake.”

“Well, what you’re seeing with Donald Trump, he is who he is, he’s a fighter. I mean, you take a look at how he responded to that assassination attempt. How many people going to stand up and do what he did at that point? So we have to take take Donald Trump for who he is, he’s a fighter,” replied Owens. “He’s very strong. And I tell you at this point, Americans are looking for strength, and yes it might not come out as nicely as people want, but do we want to win or do we want to just have people that is, they’ll say anything that’s nice, but then they’ll cut your head at any point?”
