'He hates women!' Trump sparks fury over rant about 'dummy' podcaster interviewing Harris
Former President Donald Trump, speaking at his rally in Scranton, Pennsylvania, on Wednesday, reacted to Vice President Kamala Harris' interview on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast by going after the host of the show, Alexandra Cooper.
Harris seized the opportunity of that interview to reach out to a wide range of typically less politically engaged Americans, in particular drawing attention on the show for her clap back at Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-AR) for saying she had no biological children to humble her.
“I don’t think she understands that there are a whole lot of women out here who, one, are not aspiring to be humble,” said Harris.
Trump appeared to be at least as offended by Cooper as the host of the interview than by Harris.
"I think the other one asking the question is dumber than Kamala, so that's it," said Trump. "She's a dummy. I watched her over the years. That is one dumb — that is one dumb woman. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, women, she's a dummy."

Trump's insult against Cooper, whose podcast is one of the most successful in the United States with millions of weekly downloads, triggered an immediate wave of backlash on social media.
"The millions of Call Her Daddy fans will not forget this moment," wrote attorney and liberal youth activist Aaron Parnas.
"He hates women. He hates veterans. He hates the military. He hates unions," wrote veteran and political commentator Allison Gill, better known as "Mueller, She Wrote." "How is this race even close?"
"PSA: Trump’s Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called him 'a f--king moron,'" wrote Michelle Kenney, a co-founder of the women's rights group The Seneca Project.
"Alex Cooper invited his salty ass on her show and he said no because he can’t talk about women’s issues," wrote Texas youth activist Olivia Julianna. "Because he hates women!"
