PHOENIX — Donald Trump lavished praise on former Arizona governor Jan Brewer (R) at a Saturday afternoon rally, asking her to stand and be recognized by his crowd of several thousand.
"She's an amazing person," Trump said, as Brewer stood in a small penned-off area for VIPs. "And, you know, it's not nice to say about a woman, but you are tough. Aren't you? Huh? She is tough. She's smart."
When asked why it is "not nice" to say that a woman is tough, Trump's spokeswoman forwarded this comment from him: "She's tough and she's smart and she was a great Governor of Arizona."
The presumptive Republican nominee has acknowledged that his support from female voters is not quite as strong as it is from men, a disparity that he has said he wants to correct. Trump has said that he would better represent and support women than presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, a promise he repeated at the rally at the Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
