Trump Says Montana Sen. Jon Tester ‘Looks Pregnant’ In Digs About His Weight
HuffPost
“Have you seen this guy? He doesn’t look like a fat guy, except his stomach is out to here,” the former president reportedly said during a fundraiser.
Former President Donald Trump took aim at Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) over the weekend, telling supporters he “looks pregnant,” among other insults about the senator’s weight.
Trump made the offensive remarks at a private event at his Mar-a-Lago club and residence in South Florida during a fundraiser for Rep. Ronnie Jackson (R-Texas), who was Trump’s White House physician.
“He’s now in a tough campaign, and he could very well lose. We ought to go up and campaign against him,” Trump said about Tester, according to a recording of the remarks obtained by The Washington Post and Politico. “In fact, I looked at him, and I said, ‘Oh, this finally works for a man or woman, because he looks pregnant to me.’”
“Have you seen this guy? He doesn’t look like a fat guy, except his stomach is out to here,” Trump said to laughter. “Not that I talk about things like that. I don’t even notice them.”
A Trump campaign adviser defended the remarks in a statement to the Post, saying it wasn’t offensive to compare Tester to a pregnant woman because, “according to the left, men can” get pregnant.
