POLITICS 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 doesn’t exist) and attempted to slut-shame her for appearing topless in Playboy magazine. He’s reignited the feud with her after Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton brought up his fat-shaming attacks on Machado during Monday’s 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 Party’s 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.

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?
