Trump Blasts Clinton For Using Beauty Queen Against Him

The Clinton campaign has highlighted Machado, a Venezuelan who recently became a U.S. citizen, all week as it paints Trump as a misogynist. It’s important to note, though, that the bio of the Clinton campaign Twitter account notes, “Tweets from Hillary signed -H”.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton waves during a campaign stop in Fort Pierce, Fla., Friday, Sept. 30, 2016.

Clinton’s tweets were reminiscent of and likely a response to a flurry of tweets Trump sent out in the early hours of Friday morning that attacked both Clinton and former Miss Universe Alicia Machado.

Machado accuses Trump of verbally abusing her, calling her “Miss Piggy” over her weight and “Miss Housekeeping”, apparently because she is Latina.

Trump, addressing his nearly 12 million Twitter followers, said Machado had “duped” the Clinton campaign. “Pathetic. We’ve heard Donald’s insults for years, and his policies reflect this disregard-even contempt-for women”.

Stay on topic – This helps keep the thread focused on the discussion at hand.

In her 3 a.m. tweets, Clinton focused on policy – specifically on national service, which was the focus on a speech she gave Friday.

Donald Trump is encouraging voters to check out a “sex tape” featuring the former beauty queen with whom he’s feuding.

Trump ignored questions from reporters about whether he regretted the tweets as he toured the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum in Grand Rapids, Mich. He said Machado promised to continue supporting her and said she would stand up to the attacks.

Trump was likely alluding to past allegations that Machado was a murder accomplice in Venezuela.

“Hillary floated her as an ‘angel’ without checking her past, which is terrible!”

That incident caused anguish among many Republican leaders concerned that he had nothing to gain by attacking a grieving family. “And he has the gall to blame her – and say he ‘helped?'”

“Did any of you see the debate Monday night?” she said soon after taking the stage at the packed Coral Springs Gymnasium.

Mr Trump has said that, in light of Mrs Clinton’s accusations that he is sexist, he may mention Bill Clinton’s sex scandals in the next debate. Clinton called the Republican candidate “unhinged”.

Trump’s outburst against Machado has been at the centre of intense scrutiny ever since Clinton mentioned Machado during the presidential debate.

Yet the early morning Twitter blast was an insight into how the Republican candidate has seemed unable to restrain himself from veering into unhelpful territory.

Clinton wrote, praising Machado for standing up to Trump. It was Trump’s latest effort to bounce back from Monday’s debate performance, which was widely panned as ineffective.

Some Long Islanders and Trump supporters who spoke to News 12 Long Island did not take issue with Trump’s comments. “Corruption and scandal”, Trump said Thursday.
