(WASHINGTON) — Arnold Palmer’s daughter, Peg Palmer Wears, reacted to former President Donald Trump’s vulgar comments about her late father, calling them “disrespectful,” “inappropriate,” and “unacceptable.”<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing at the airport, which is named for my dad, where he flew out of to go to work every day or every week, you know, to come there and talk about \u2026 hackneyed anecdotes from the locker room \u2026 seemed disrespectful and inappropriate to me,” she told ABC News Monday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Not only was Arnold Palmer a renowned American golfer with a popular beverage named in his honor, he also has a regional airport named after him in his hometown of Latrobe, Pennsylvania. Campaigning at that airport on Saturday evening, Trump kicked off the rally with a long-winded story about Palmer, who dies in 2016, specifically referring to the golfer\u2019s genitals.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen he took showers with the other pros, they came out of there. They said, \u2018Oh my God. That’s unbelievable,\u2019\u201d Trump joked.<\/p>\n

According to Wears, Trump was \u201cappropriating someone he admires to bolster his own image,\u201d and that \u201cpeople deserve better.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people coming to these rallies deserve substance about plans Trump has as a candidate, if he could elucidate on some of the threats he’s made to people,\u201d she continued. \u201cI mean, these are important issues that should be discussed for people when they’re getting ready to vote, and using my dad to cover over the important things just seems unacceptable to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wears also confirmed to ABC News that she will be voting in the presidential election, though she did not disclose which candidate she plans to vote for.<\/p>\n

An unaffiliated North Carolina voter, Wears plans to cast her ballot from one of the seven critical battleground states that could impact the election.<\/p>\n

According to 538\u2019s polling averages, Trump is leading in North Carolina by 0.8 points.<\/p>\n
