Melania Trump told CNN’s Anderson Cooper that she disagrees with “many things” her husband has said on the campaign trail, including when he repeated a supporter who called one of his presidential rivals a “pussy.”

According to a clip of the interview posted Monday, the former model said she disagreed with Donald Trump on “some language of course.” Melania Trump then recalled a rally earlier this month in New Hampshire where a woman in the crowd said that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) was a “pussy” on waterboarding. She referred to it as an “inappropriate word.”

“I was there and I’m thinking like, ‘Don’t repeat it’ in my head. Just for him — don’t repeat it. Just don’t say it,” Melania Trump said. “Because the next day media all day will talk is about that. But he repeated it. He’s with the momentum. He goes with the flow.”

Trump told Cooper that she let her husband know how she felt about him repeating that woman’s words.

“He’s an adult. He knows the consequences,” Trump said. “I don’t agree with everything what he says.”
