“I so proud and inspiration to be a U.S. Citizen,” Machado wrote. “I’ll be Voting! All my power and my support become with my next President @hillaryclinton.”

“Miss Housekeeping and miss Piggy Can Vote @realdonaldtrump.”

Machado said she was given the term “Miss Piggy” from Trump because of her accent and her weight,
