Alicia Machado, who won Donald Trump’s Miss Universe pageant in 1996, is just days or weeks away from becoming a U.S. citizen. The former Venezuelan beauty queen says the presumptive Republican nominee should not expect her vote this fall.

Machado alleged last month that Trump insulted her looks and language skills after she won the pageant, calling her “Miss Piggy” after she gained weight and “Miss Housekeeping” because she was not fully fluent in English.

On Wednesday, she joined two pro-immigrant advocacy groups in Arlington to encourage other Latinos to join her in registering to vote and casting their ballots for Hillary Clinton, the presumptive Democratic nominee.

“I hope my testimonial will help everyone to make a good decision in November,” Machado said.

The progressive non-profit organization People for the American Way released an ad in Spanish on June 15 attacking presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. The Post translated the ad, in which the narrator says Trump wants to take the U.S. into a "dark place" of "intolerance, racism and hate." (People for the American Way)
