Donald Trump said early Tuesday that Hillary Clinton only managed to get under the GOP nominee’s skin once during the first presidential debate Monday night.
{mosads}It was when Clinton brought up Trump’s previous comments about a Miss Universe contestant whom he allegedly called “Miss Piggy” and “Miss Housekeeping.”
“When she brought up that person that became — I know that person. It was a Miss Universe person. She was the worst we ever had,” Trump said on “Fox & Friends.”
“Ultimately a winner. They had a tremendously difficult time with that Miss Universe. … She was a winner, and she gained a massive amount of weight, and we had a real problem. We had a real problem with her.”
“Hillary found the girl, and talked about her like she was Mother Theresa.”
Alicia Machado, Miss Universe 1996, has claimed that Trump yelled at her, calling her ugly and fat.
“One of the worst things he said was about a woman in a beauty contest — he loves beauty contests, supporting them and hanging around them — and he called this woman ‘Miss Piggy,’ then he called her ‘Miss Housekeeping’ because she was Latina. Donald, she has a name,” Clinton said at the debate.
“Her name is Alicia Machado, and she has become a U.S. citizen, and you can bet she’s going to vote this November.”
