Former Miss Universe Alicia Machado fired back at Donald Trump on Friday after the Republican nominee sent off a fusillade of tweets calling her “disgusting” and falsely claiming that she appeared in a “sex tape.”

In an Instagram post, Machado dismissed his attacks as “slanderous and cheap lies” in keeping with his history of derogatory remarks about women.

“Through his campaign of hate, the Republican candidate insists on discrediting and demoralizing a woman, which is definitely one of his more frightening characteristics,” Machado wrote in Spanish, alongside a photo of her posing draped in the American flag. “With this, he’s looking to distract attention from his real problems and from his inability to claim to be the leader of this great country.”

“When I was barely a young woman, the now-candidate publicly humiliated me, insulted me, disrespected me publicly, as he usually did in private in the cruelest way,” she continued, charging that Trump repeated the behavior “with other women for decades.”

3. before he goes slut shaming,

Has anyone reminded Donald the duche that his wife has girl on girl pictures floating around the internet. Because it is his wife, it is modeling and ok, but if it was someone other than his wife, it would be slutty behavior to the now self proclaimed Commissioner of Morality.

4. Funny, my husband is far from being a prude but admitted that it did

bother him that (1) Melania is not American born and (2) That she's got sleazy pics out there. He's 100% anti-Trump and pro-Dem, but guess there's just certain strict beliefs people keep that you can't shake despite it all.

I was with him in NH when he ran for POTUS
