Marjorie Taylor Greene does pull ups to prove Trump hangs out with ‘strong, intelligent women’

Marjorie Taylor Greene has lashed out at Mark Cuban after the billionaire entrepreneur suggested that Donald Trump does not hang out with “strong, intelligent women.”

The Georgia congresswoman sought to prove Cuban wrong in a literal sense, by posting yet another video of herself working out in her home gym, this time doing a set of pull-ups.

It comes after Cuban appeared on talk show The View, where he said, referring to Trump, “You never see him hanging around strong, intelligent women. Ever. It’s just that simple.”

The remarks appeared to offend Greene personally, who told her followers: “Ok guys, check this out: first we have Joe Biden calling all of us ‘garbage.’ Now Mark Cuban has come out and said there’s no strong, intelligent women supporting Trump.

“Wait, hang on, I just have to fit in this set,” she adds, before jumping up and completing five pull-ups.

After completing her set, Greene launched a personal attack on Cuban, claiming that he suffered from “low testosterone” and compared him, looks-wise, to MSNBC host Rachel Maddow.

“Here’s his issue, he’s actually intimidated by strong, intelligent women, like me,” she said. “I graduated from UGA with a business degree, I run a very successful construction company in Georgia, and now I’m going on my third term in Congress.

“I love guns, especially AR15s, and I support president Trump. Mark, I suggest you get some HRT (hormone replacement therapy) and hit the gym.”

The video response comes following Trump’s own attack on Cuban, whose net worth is around $5.7bn, calling him “unattractive” and a “loser.”

Thursday’s video is not the first time Greene has filmed herself pumping iron at home in response to comments about her physical appearance.

Back in May, she was called a “bleach blonde bad-built butch body” by Democrat Jasmine Crockett, after blasting the Texas representative’s “fake eyelashes.” The exchange, during a House committee meeting, became heated, with allegations that drinking had been involved.

Greene later shared a video of herself performing clean-and-jerk exercises in a garage, defending her physique.

“Yes my body is built and strong NOT with nips, tucks, plastic, or silicone, but through a healthy lifestyle. Soon turning 50 years old, God willing, I will continue to lift, run, swim, play sports, surf, ski, climb and LIVE this life to the fullest and enjoy every single moment!” the Georgia congresswoman wrote.
