Related: About this forumPOLITICS Alicia Machado’s Classy Response To Trump Saying She Did Porn Is A Must-Read
Former Miss Universe winner Alicia Machado is being victimized once again by Republican nominee Donald Trump, an avowed racist and sexist. Trump took to Twitter last night and told his followers to go watch her sex tape (which doesnt exist) and attempted to slut-shame her for appearing topless in Playboy magazine. Hes reignited the feud with her after Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton brought up his fat-shaming attacks on Machado during Mondays debate.
First off, the hypocrisy is truly mind-boggling. Trump, the nominee of the family values Republican Party, just told his conservative voters to go watch pornography, which is labelled a public health crisis in the Republican Partys official 2016 platform. Secondly, his own wife has appeared naked in magazines, but somehow Machado is disgusting for appearing topless.
All that aside, the woman in question, Alicia Machado, took to Instagram to respond to the baseless slut-shaming attacks against her in a very classy way, wrapping herself in the American flag and hitting back against the decidedly un-American Trump.

if she weren't my daughter" and asking who is the disgusting one.

BTW, that's a beautiful picture of her. Of course, she's a beautiful woman.
Trump talking about someone's, anyone's LOOKS? Does he own a mirror?

No, just portraits - paid for by the "Foundation!"
