"Not to be sexist, I can't vote for the leader of the free world to be a woman," he said
Monday on the "The Whoolywood Shuffle" radio show. "Just because every
other position that exists, I think a woman could do well. But the
president, it's kind of like, I just know that women make rash decisions
emotionally — they make very permanent, cemented decisions — and then
later, it's kind of like it didn't happen or they didn't mean for it to
happen."
T.I. suggested that women are not consistent enough in their decision-making to lead America.
"And
I sure would hate to set off a nuke," he said. "You ain't gonna be able
to negotiate the right kind of foreign policy. The world ain't ready
yet."
T.I. -- born Clifford Harris, Jr. -- said he believes a make believe creature could get to the White House before a woman.
"I
think you might be able to get the Loch Ness Monster elected before you
could (a woman). It's not right, but I'm just saying I don't think," he
said.
Shortly after the interview aired, T.I. apologized for his remarks on Twitter.
"My
comments about women running for president were unequivocally
insensitive and wrong. I sincerely apologize to everyone I offended."
T.I. also said GOP front-runner Donald Trump would be the best candidate to improve the economy.
"I
feel he is the best showman of them all," he said. "And I do feel that
if he is sincerely concerned about the economy of America and the
working public, he would be the best person to flip the money that we
have, take it and flip it."
However, T.I. said he can't fully support Trump because of racist remarks.
"His
racist remarks, all of his off-color statements, it makes it impossible
to be like completely supportive of him," he said. "But just knowing
what he's done for business, for himself, if he intends to do that for
America, I think it would be beneficial. But I can't cast no vote for
him."
