Republican Senator Ashley Moody of Florida wonders why President Donald Trump didn’t praise her ‘asset’ like he did with Nicki Minaj.
Speaking Friday evening at the president’s rally in Daytona Beach, Florida, the lawmaker recounted questions she got about Trump recently complimenting the rapper’s ‘beautiful a**.’
‘What do you think about the president talking about Nicki Minaj’s asset? Really? I mean, Byron and I don’t even know what to say,’ Moody told the crowd, naming GOP gubernatorial candidate Congressman Byron Donalds, who was also at the rally.
‘Byron’s probably like, I’m just glad he didn’t ask about my asset. I mean, we were the only two on the stage with the president.’
She continued: ‘Well, maybe I should be upset he didn’t talk about my asset.’
After the 80-year-old president drew attention to Minaj’s ‘a**’ at a rally in Michigan on Sunday, Republicans have been peppered with questions about his decorum.
‘By the way, I looked at one hell of a beautiful a** before: Nicki Minaj. That’s hard to miss. Stand up. That’s hard to miss,’ Trump said at a Michigan rally with Minaj in attendance.
She stood up, waved and went along with the president’s commentary about her rear-end.

The commentary has stirred controversy online, with Democratic lawmakers attacking the president’s behavior as unbecoming of the office.
Moody is up for re-election on Tuesday facing off with Democrat Angie Nixon.
Her seat appears to be safe for now, as she has an 88 percent chance of winning, according to the latest prediction market data on Kalshi as of Saturday afternoon.
Donalds, who is facing off with Democrat David Jolly, has a 66 percent chance of winning, per the Kalshi data.
Trump rallied for Donalds at Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers on October 23 and returned to Daytona Beach on October 30 for a second rally in a week.
The president has repeatedly opted to travel to Republican strongholds this midterm cycle while snubbing battleground areas less densely populated by MAGA supporters.
The president spent most of his Saturday morning at his golf club near his Florida home before scheduled appearances at five tele-rallies.
He will travel to Iowa and Kansas on Sunday for what are expected to be his last in-person rallies.
Trump is scheduled to hold tele-rallies on Monday and Election Day, where he is expected to be in Washington.
