This brutal new Clinton ad lets Trump speak for himself when it comes to women

Former Miss Universe Alicia Machado is reappearing on the campaign trail Tuesday, as the former beauty queen is slated to introduce Hillary Clinton at her event in Dade City, Florida. Clinton is expected to hone in on her opponent's treatment of women in the final days of the election, reminding voters that it's the "things [Donald] Trump says, does, and believes that make him a danger to women and girls if he were president," a Clinton campaign official told CBS News. Machado was first mentioned in the 2016 election during Clinton's closing kicker at the first presidential debate, when she brought up that Trump had once called the Latina pageant winner "Miss Housekeeping" and "Miss Piggy."
But Machado's appearance is just the one aspect of Clinton's planned one-two punch on Trump's treatment of women. Ahead of Machado's appearance, the Clinton campaign released a one-minute ad Tuesday morning featuring Trump's remarks about women through the decades, including the audio from the 2005 Access Hollywood tape in which Trump can be heard boasting about grabbing women "by the pussy." The ad will air in Arizona, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, which Mic pointed out are the "battleground states Trump will likely need to sweep to have any hope of securing 270 Electoral College votes."
You can tune into Machado's introduction at 3 p.m. ET, but in the meantime, watch the latest Clinton campaign ad below. Becca Stanek
