During Monday's debate, Hillary Clinton raised the issue of Donald Trump's treatment of former Miss Universe Alicia Machado. Clinton alleged that Trump referred to "Miss Piggy" and "Miss Housekeeping," a claim that Trump brushed off. (Machado is a Venezuelan native.)
Over to Twitter, Machado tweeted her thanks to Clinton for bringing her up during the debate, and reiterated her support for the candidate. Machado had recently became a U.S. citizen, and she plans to vote for Clinton.
Gracias señora @HillaryClinton su respeto a las mujeres y nuestras diferencias la hacen grande! Estoy con usted!
