Former Democratic National Chairman and ex-Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, a Hillary Clinton backer, did his best Donald Trump impersonation Wednesday, saying the GOP front-runner’s condescending comments about women will backfire because there are “probably more ugly women in America than attractive women.”
In an eye-opening interview with The Washington Post, Rendell, 72, was discussing Trump’s electoral prospects in the suburbs of Philadelphia, the city where Rendell was mayor from 1992 to 2000, when his comments suddenly began to resemble the mogul’s.
“Will he have some appeal to working-class Dems in Levittown or Bristol? Sure. For every one he’ll lose one and a half, two Republican women. Trump’s comments like ‘You can’t be a 10 if you’re flat-chested,’ that’ll come back to haunt him,” Rendell said.
“There are probably more ugly women in America than attractive women. People take that stuff personally,” said Rendell, who is a superdelegate in the Democratic race backing Clinton's presidential bid.
A representative for the Clinton campaign didn’t respond to questions about Rendell’s comments.
The former elected official later apologized.
“What I said was incredibly stupid and insensitive,” he told reporters in Philadelphia on Wednesday, The Washington Post reported. "When I read it in the article, I said, 'Did I say that?' It was just dumb, and stupid, and insensitive, and if I offended anyone, I apologize."
