A top surrogate for President Trump in Iowa compared him to Mother Teresa.
Tana Goertz told reporters Wednesday that Trump has done more for women than anyone except the Roman Catholic nun who was canonized in 2016.
“There’s not a person alive that literally has done so much for a female, for the female population,” said Goertz, who serves as a Trump campaign coordinator in Iowa. “I can’t think of one person that I could go, except for Mother Teresa. I mean, literally, who has done more for women in office than Donald Trump?”
Goertz was asked how Trump could win back female voters who voted for him in the 2016 presidential election but supported Democratic Rep. Cindy Axne in the 2018 midterm elections.
“If Donald Trump was running, we would have never lost anything,” Goertz said. “There’s different candidates running that don’t have the power that Donald Trump has, and the pull.”

Trump beat Hillary Clinton in the Midwestern state, 51.1% to 41.7%, in the 2016 election, but the former secretary of state carried the female vote by 7 percentage points, according to exit polls.
